Travis

Travis - J.Smith is #1 in the indie singles chart - even tho its limited edtion on vinyl - still was expecting it to chart briefly at the bottom of the 75 - tho obv people are still downloading Snow Patrol's chasing cars instead....who along with coldplay have kinda pushed Travis to one side...not quite on that level where there only option is a support slot with del amitri - and at least a step up from athlete...but i don't think we'll be seeing a #1 in the indie charts being upscaled to a viva la vida #1 single success....when the new album is released....

btw even tho Travis (emerging kinda pre-coldplay at the end of the britpop era) could be said to be one of the first in this wave of this type of faucet-rock...and that nobody needs to listen to 'Why Does It Always Rain on Me?' again - actually ended up buying the last album cheap for this 'great lost' pop song.....

thinking with this (and with remembering driftwood) - actually slightly better than i had marked them down as....(and yeah not as boring as the prospect of yet another chart week for C Cars)
