I was listening to Chris Martin on BBC Radio 1 today, as he was sitting in for Zane Lowe. He started out well enough, but it quickly went downhill- continually making self depricating comments, and playing random jingles on a keyboord. The show ended on a high note, however, with this little nugget from what I can only assume is the highly anticipated next album from Travis. There's some chatter over the start, but it's a great song, worth listening to!
