Travis is one of the most unappreciated bands going, which makes their frontman Fran Healy the most unappreciated frontman going, which means that most people are missing out BIG TIME on a whole lot of fun and lovely music.  Their/your loss!  You can keep yer Thoms & Radioheads and Chrises & Coldplays, cause we’d rather have our Frans & Travises and their awesomenessness!  Heck, seeing Fran and axe-man Andy Dunlop present a stripped down version of classic Travis ditties resulted in the 3rd greatest concert we had ever seen!!  So what would happen if you remove Andy and just let Fran go it alone?  The answer is his first solo joint, Wreckorder, and while it may not be the 3rd greatest album of all time, it’s equally as delicious and head-bobbin as any Travis album!  Out of the 10 cushy songs, 8 are udderly franztastic (much love to and for ‘Buttercups’ & the Neko Case duet on ‘Sing Me To Sleep’), with 2 being less than memorable.  We’re no mathmagician, but 8 outta 10 is purty dangs good, no? And having Paul McCartney play bass on one of yer songs aint bad, right?  Fran, please never stop, even if the world ignores your bestness.  And oh yeah, if yer reading this, get the boys together and put out a covers only album, PLEASE!!!  Hit me baby a million more times!!!

Saturday’s show marked the second time we’ve seen Maccccaaaa in a span of two weeks, and although munch wasn’t different from the first show, besides the inclusion of ‘Michelle’ for Mrs Obama [watch], better seats, being more soberer with the parents in tow, and a gut-busting tailgate including, but not limited to, sweet BoBerry and Cinnamon biscuits from Bojangles, we haths to say that it kicked more glass than Phillip AND Ira. any chance that the real king of pop’s coming to your town (we’re looking at you Bostonians, Hotlantians, Tuslainanians, and losers in the Big D), you should without question (or answer) get tickets, cause when else are you gonna get to Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na sing along to ‘Hey Jude’ with its holy creator? no, seriously, when? the dude aint gonna live til he’s 164, although it would be pretty sweet if he did, so don’t pass up a chance to see him, and we won’t the next time he (hopefully) returns to NY… hispecially since we still want to hear him rock ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’, ‘For No One’, ‘Good Day Sunshine’, ‘Hello, Goodbye’, ‘I’ll Follow the Sun’, ‘I Will’, ‘I’ve Just Seen a Face’, ‘Magical Mystery Tour’, ‘Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da’, ‘Penny Lane’, ‘She’s Leaving Home’, ‘The Fool on the Hill’, ‘We Can Work It Out’, ‘When I’m Sixty-Four’, ‘Why Don’t We Do It in the Road?’, ‘Your Mother Should Know’ and every other song your mother should know

hear’s what the WashingtonPostal had to say abouts the show

up next, Ringo?
