Wednesday Wadio: Travis Does Britney, But Who Hasn’t?

They fell off faster than a fat kid on a see-saw, but for a brief moment in 2001 Scottish band Travis were on top of the world and one of my very favorites. This is a cover of Britney’s (oooh, timely!) Hit Me Baby One More Time that was performed at Glastonbury that year – and it stands alone as a super tune. The minor guitar chords and Fran Healey’s sweetie-pie voice give it a sad, eerie feeling. Much how Mr. and Mrs. Spears must have felt when Britney brought that oozing cock sore into their home for the first time. See what you think.

I bemoaned your sad transformation a year or so ago, and you were truly the last to know that this would end in tears. As far as your career goes, you just don’t [...]...
  2. Why, Britney. Why? We all saw the clips over the weekend. Britney is bald. At first glanceI thought… well, I’m not sure what I thought. It was such a shocking visage that a flurry of possible causes swirled through my confused head: - Federline’s remaining crotch goblins spread to her head, forcing a flame-thrower delousing.- She started smoking her [...]...
  3. Wednesday Wadio: The Last Stand Of Shazeb Andleeb. “Being killed does not make someone Notable.” – Wikipedia I saw this performance when it first aired in 1996 after the Cult of Ray came out. Frank Black and his annoying unwelcome twin, former MTV Matt Pinfield, chat mindlessly and strum respectively. I always wondered what this song was about, and dug this performance, so it [...]...

Oops, fucked that one up, Why does it always Rain on me…

Art – I wondered that too. No idea. Hopefully not SUM41.

Greg – there is an amazing Travis live DVD that you can find at Newbury Comics. It’s my favorite live concert movie ever. Such a great band. I wish they’d had a longer lifespan.

If you have an mp3 of this, I’ll trade it for a copy of my bootleg Bosnian Travis CD:)
