Weblogs: Jay-Z's Life + Times

Our appreciation of Jay-Z's talent and entrepreneurship has been documented HERE before. But now, Jay has stepped into our realm with his new lifestyle blog, and we must give credit where credit is due...Called Life + Times (after his albums), the blog covers music, style, sports, and technology, among others, and does it well. The layout is nice and simple and the content is intruiquing. Take a look!

Music Flashback: Travis

Today, we check out the music of Scottish band Travis, and because all their albums are great, and we couldn't pick just one, we give you a song from four old albums. Enjoy!

  Released in 1999, Travis' second studio album rose above the first in many ways, but most of all, in sound and production quality. Heres a song that made them quite popular in the states, and you may have heard of it!

Why Does It Always Rain On Me

  'The Invisible Band' is a much more complete album than 'The Man Who', so deciding which song to include was difficult, but "Pipe Dreams" it is. So take a listen, and enjoy!

Pipe Dreams

With 2003's '12 Memories' Travis continued their recognizable and prominent sound, and "Love Will Come Through" shows that evolution perfectly. So take a listen!

Love Will Come Through

In one of their more recent projects, 'The Boy With No Name' turns to a deeper side of the band, but still resonates with fans that enjoy the classic melodies Travis is known for.
