Songs in the Key of Life: Travis
Keith Cameron, Guardian, The, 23 June 2001
IF THERE IS ONE thing you can be completely sure of, it is this: at some point today, a U.K. radio station will play a song by a band called Travis. At roughly the same time again, it will do so again. Then the day after and the day after that. In fact, in the unlikely event of a bookmaker offering viable odds, one could lay hard cash on Travis being played on the radio every day of every week this year.
