I loved D Plan and I'm sure Travis' solo stuff will be interesting, but all this Travis talk keeps bringing to mind that "Totally Travis" solo outing from that guy in Piebald. I think his name is Travis. Yeah.

Someone (July 28, 2004)

Travis and the Dplan are the shit, but no more Luda covers!!

if you dont like this, then you are crazy.

Someone (July 28, 2004)

this is the kind of stuff i'll really want to like because i liked the dplan so much, so even if it sucks i'll be in denial for a month or so til i come to my senses. but let's hope it doesn't come to that.

It didn't have a name yet, home-slice. Not that I care, this is wack.

Someone (July 28, 2004)

IT DID have a name dude

My friend has been gushing over some dude with a battery operated keyboard, called Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. I got out the dismemberment plan to remind myself how keyboards are supposed to be used in music. Yup, just as awesome as I remembered. "You are Invited" is one of the most meaningful songs I've ever heard. Hope this is awesome.

travis morrison and travis shettel are the shit, respectively. viva la travis'

Someone (July 28, 2004)

I thought he was forming an actual republic. I wouldn't go live there because of all the crying but you know people would.

wearingawire (July 28, 2004)

i have it classified as emo on my ipod. Indie-emo, i lost track of what is emo along time ago.

Someone (July 28, 2004)

If you click the little "reply" thing below the message you don't look like a stone-age fucker who can't use a computer. And everyone who I know who listened to the "D-Plan" cried alot. I just put 2 and 2 together.

wearingawire (July 29, 2004)

yeah you're right, it probably is wuss music. slayer rulz!

Someone (July 29, 2004)

slayer sucks. Boring shit. this is the guy who apparently called DP emo because emo is the only music that makes people cry. Nevermind new wave and the rock ballads....

wearingawire (July 29, 2004)

hey guy who called dp emo, i just want to say i was really mean to you. i told all my underweight/sweater wearing friends about it, and they agreed that i was a total asshole. these tears burn my soul as i write this. please forgive me... luv ~*wearingawire*~

Someone (July 29, 2004)

well, as long as you apologize...

streetofspies (July 29, 2004)

Hasn't anyone heard the mp3's he's had up forever? http://www.travismorrison.com It's ok. Not great. Definitely not D-Plan. And dear god, he BUTCHERED The Word Cop from the original D-Plan version. People that have heard it, comments?

Song for the Orca rules. The rest is rather bland.

Someone (August 2, 2004)

dude these songs are soo well written, i am super impressed by the time signature changes and the quality of lyrics. i hope people are open minded to listen to something that is this different.

Someone (August 8, 2004)
