“Our old manager was always saying to me, ‘Artwork’s not really that important. No one cares.’ That’s why he’s our old manager.” That bit from this week’s 200th episode, with Travis' Fran Healy, speaks to his genuine reverence for how music is presented. And though he's the voice and songwriter behind such anthemic rave-ups as "All I Wanna Do Is Rock" and "Selfish Jean," it's arguably the somber side of the foursome (with hits like "Why Does It Always Rain On Me?" and "Driftwood") that put them on the map globally, and eventually led to them going 14x Platinum in the UK. The band's new album L.A. Times drops this Friday, July 12th and on today's program, Fran discusses his obsession with the city's countless movie landmarks, how Coldplay’s Chris Martin lent a small hand in sequencing the songs, and the Scottish quartet's embracing of the Internet age from the ground floor. Also, why Fran’s been singing Womack & Womack around the house, and karaoke versions of his own material in Mexico. Tour dates, social media and more are available at travisonline.com.
