I was shocked to check the NME Tuesday morning (26-6-07) to suddenly see news title The Verve reunite for tour. It was just hard to take in cus we're talking about THE VERVE, one of the greatest bands Britain was to produce during the BritPop era. It felt a bit overwhelming really because of various factors.

Firstly I was listening to their second album A Northern Soul only a day or so before the news, a fantastic Verve album by the way. If you have only ever enjoyed Urban Hymns, you should do yourself a favour and give…

The first time I'd heard of this tune was when I was casually tuned over to MTV2, but it was only after a certain way through that the song really caught the interest of my ears.

I'd heard various things about The Music (which by the way has gotta be the cockiest name you could call your band) through the NME such as Nick McCabe of The Verve fame working with them on a b-side for the Freedom Fighter single, plus I'd heard and watched one of their videos on Q Music and that was it, even then I…

So I was meant to write journal entries for the other 2 Travis albums, but I got lazy. So sue me! In fact I haven't been making much use of the journal feature yet, so here's something new.

The other day Amazon finally delivered Don't Believe The Truth special edition to my door. I must say when I opened it, the album is GORGEOUS! The special edition is like a book, it's got a spine and the booklet is integrated with the packaging. Out of all the Oasis albums this one wins the best packaging award! I mean even the…

Hello again, anyway I've finished with listening to the first album (most unknown) to their second album (most known lol) The Man Who. It' s a very mysterious album title isn't it? But on the other hand I love the rebranding of Travis, they font is lovely, actually it's exactly the same as The Verve!!!

So as the album that pushed Travis into the mainstream light, it's a departure from the rock beat of Good Feeling, yet I wouldn't say they've gone soft in a bad way, no it's still great and shows them going along a…

Hello Wai-Tung fans! *crowd cheers*
Ok ok so I'm not famous…. but anyway I've decided to use the journal feature so I can go rabbling out my opinion on things and you lot can read and reply/spam/flame back at me. A few months ago I had completed collecting every Travis studio album, the first two I've already had a good listen to, the third I listened to recently the the 4th I'll listen to soon enough. Basically I'm going to listen to all 4 one after another and give you my personal thoughts on them. Nothing here is objective, just…
