I saw 'The Dark Knight' this morning and wow, that was an awesome film, it lived up to the hype and no joke, Heath Ledger turns in an amazing performance as the twisted Joker. Scary! Anyways, I loved it. Best film of the year so far next to 'Wall*e'.

Project Runway Season 5
Project Runway Season 5

I love the shows on Bravo, however the best one is hands down 'Project Runway' which kicks off a new season tomorrow night. Despite it moving over to Lifetime next season, I still have hopes this will be a fun season. If you want to visit a great fan site, a friend of mine always raves about this one: Project Rungay! Check it out for witty commentary done by some witty gays! YAY! It's a scream!

I did my iPhone 2.0 update last week, and the first game I downloaded was Super Monkey Ball! I remember playing this a few years ago and loving it! I can't stop playing it on the phone, it is a lot of fun, and strange to tilt the phone all over the place to get thru all the turns and such. But I am very glad you can now play games on the iPhone!

Travis will release a limited edition EP on June 30th, they are now on their own label. Here are the details!


Travis are back with a new release on their own label, the J. Smith EP. Available in limited edition 10" vinyl and digital download formats.

The three track EP will be released on Red Telephone Box, the label on which Travis released their debut EP, All I Want To Do Is Rock, in 1996. Fran Healy, who turned designer for their debut, has once again provided the artwork. The EP will available for download and on limited edition 10” vinyl, while stocks last.

Produced by Emery Dobyns (Antony & The Johnsons, Patti Smith, Battles), the three songs were recorded in London’s Rak Studios and mixed in New York at Electric Lady Studios. The EP kicks off with J Smith, the title track from the forthcoming album Ode To J Smith, described by Fran as a 3 minute rock opera, it enlists the talents of The Crouch End Festival Chorus to add some epic scale to Travis's rockiest outing since their debut EP All I Want To Do Is Rock. Also included are Get Up and Sarah, the latter being unavailable elsewhere.

All Travis fans who buy from the link below will be able to purchase the 10" for £3.49 or an exclusive bundle of the 3 track digital download and a signed copy of the 10" vinyl for only £3.99. This pre-order is available now at:
