It's for Oyster travel cards and such.

does the fact it chops the bottom off the m annoy anyone else? it's like the one thing they had to consider and they got it wrong.
yes, is for travelcards, hence the name TravelTunes. that blue wavy design in the back is an oyster card, (virtually) everyone in london has one.
― koogs, Thursday, 13 September 2012 08:51 (eleven years ago) link
Yes. Looking at some of the wallets they offer they just seem to be artist's impressions of what the cardholder might look like when they print one off.

I have never heard of a "travel card" before. They're credit-card sized right?

yes. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/14836.aspx

It's interesting though that they're marketed as travel wallets and not credit wallets or just card wallets. So I take it their ubiquity extends beyond major metro areas?
― gwenguthrie gwen ross (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 13 September 2012 14:21 (eleven years ago) link
Also yes I know exactly what those things are; quite a brainfart to not remember

Well sure but it's like making something that can fit credit cards and marketing it as a MetroCard holder to appeal to New Yorkers
― gwenguthrie gwen ross (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 14 September 2012 01:40 (eleven years ago) link
you use an Oyster a lot more times daily than a credit card!
(when I've been in London I just stick it in my actual wallet and wave that at the detectors though; I got given a free Keeping Up With The Kardashians one somewhere last time, which didn't induce me to switch)
― ┐(´ー`)┌ (sic), Friday, 14 September 2012 01:54 (eleven years ago) link
You do?? That is crazy, I use my debit card like several times a day.
― gwenguthrie gwen ross (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 14 September 2012 02:03 (eleven years ago) link
nerds need to step up and invent a single card that does everything so I can start collecting travel wallets.
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Friday, 14 September 2012 02:44 (eleven years ago) link
I feel like a srsly corny bastard, but I bought one of the travel pass holders (despite already having the reissues on CD...), and it seems like a perfectly serviceable piece of plastic and the band name is not cut off irl. In my defence, I'd been reduced to taping my original travel pass holder together with tape and it was on its last legs in terms of serviceability. But yeah, some shame here.

At this point i don't really care. We have "Loveless", we have "Isn't Anything". If you really want more MBV then you have all those EPs and rare singles and stuff. Unless they've been performing great new material on tours and it has been blowing minds, it seems like a new MBV is pretty much set up to disappoint.

Hopefully there will be enough time passed that it will be different enough to be interesting even if it doesn't stand up to that period.
― Chewshabadoo, Wednesday, 7 November 2012 19:41 (eleven years ago) link
ok, i disputed this with someone closer the source, and the word is that it really is going to happen.
i still reserve the right to not believe a word etc ..
but who knows, i mean, didn't i read somewhere that kevin is no longer helping out with the new david holmes produced primal scream album ?
so, after all, what else has he got to do ..

how is it not-yet-recorded but also being released in 2012?

maybe all the songs are written and he just needs a good weekend in the studio?

Just needs a bit of luck, he's obviously had quite a few 'bad weekends' in the last, oooh, 20 years.
― Master of Treacle, Wednesday, 7 November 2012 22:36 (eleven years ago) link
Stuff just keeps coming up. He was going to work on it on the weekend of August 29, 1998, for example, but at the last second he realized that he really needed to make a big trip to the store to pick up some hard-to-find ingredients for a big dinner party he was hosting on the 31st. And then on the 15-16 of March 2003 he was supposed to have some free time but then his Uncle made an unexpected visit and he had to show him around the city for the millionth time. "Jeez Uncle Terry, I'm trying to made a record here! Guess I'll have to work on it next weekend..." Then of course on April 9th, 2005 it started raining really hard just when he was about to head out the door to the studio....

he has spent large chunks of the 21st century visibly touring or playing with Primal Scream and J Mascis and My Bloody Valentine and Patti Smith tbf, he's been vastly more productive than the post-Loveless '90s
