Since people in Austin are crazy there are lots of art cars driving around. You know, ones with, for example plastic dinosaurs glued ALL over it. (I've seen that one many times)
Yesterday I saw a crappy old minivan that had a chair like this glued on top
The chair was painted like the American flag and in the palm of the hand chair rested the world.
EDIT: to be clearer, it was a free standing globe in the palm of the American flag hand.
I found myself desperately hoping that they were being ironic. Chances are they were but....WOW if they weren't. |

I don't want the world, I just want your half ;)
When I went to art school somebody did that as a project...the art car thing. They had some kind of greenhouse in the back or something. Pffffft, art school. |

Hey folks, I'm new here at the place. I looked through the forum to find a thread where I could introduce myself in the most fitting way and found this thread.
I'm 19 years old and from Denmark, and I sort of discovered Travis this summer, when I heard the song Sing for the first time in I-have-no-idea-of-how-long. That made me remember the band Travis that I hadn't heard anything from since they released Re-Offender years ago. I searched a bit on youtube and heard some of the good old classics and saw the videos and decided to get the album "The Man Who" which I thought I knew the most songs of. Listening through it I thought: "Wow, this is awesome, I should've had this album ages ago!" I read in the newspaper that they just released a new album, "The Boy With No Name", but I didn't buy it before I went to Scotland on a holiday and stumbled across it. This seems to be very lucky since I have gotten the idea that it's only on the British version of the album that "In My Perfect Heaven Space" is on. (correct?) This album was (or rather IS) so good! I fell in love with the track "Selfish Jean" at first listen, and almost every song on the album is just perfect. Lately I stumbled over the albums "The Invicible Band" and "12 Memories" which are just as well masterpieces (which I found out since I couldn't resist the temptation of buying both, but who could?)! Now I only need the first album and the Greatest Hits (To get "Coming Around" and "Walking In The Sun") to make my collection complete (I doubt that I can get a lot of the old singles).
Well, sorry for the novel. I hope some of you people can point me out some of the best threads to go through as a new member here. :) |

Sorry but that;'s been running around my head since you posted it and I'm curious to know if I'm right, it's taken me the best part of a day to remember.
