Oasis

[The Nal]

There was a couple of best of lists and that was in the top 3 in each of them. Wanted to try something a bit different, hoping for some Low like inspiration maybe. Closing Time next.

[Mardy]

My Tom Waits in order of buying/listening was, and I can pretty much remember all of these going on my stereo for the first time.

Nighthawks at the diner

Heart of Saturday night

Black Rider (fuckawful noise)

Closing Time

Heart Attack & Vine

Swordfishtrombones

Raindogs

the rest.

Listened to some of the snippets on iTunes . When did his voice go insane?

[Wooderson]

Waits is a black hole for me. One of "my sisters" faves. Therefore I wasnt allowed be a fan.

Love his cameo in Short Cuts.

While we're talking Waits, has everyone heard Neko Case's cover of 'Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis'? They should.

Pretty good source. Oasis it is.

Music Exec just congratulated me on getting a ticket because "they will be gold dust now Oasis are playing".

Probably not a "pretty good source" after all.

Apologies.

It was an unsolicited comment though.....

Unlike all these other reformations, Oasis' live reputation (at least since their heyday) has always been very poor. I went to see them seven times or so as they were the first band I ever got into, and none of them would make my top 20 gigs or so. Which considering how many of the songs hold so many memories is quite something.

True but a large number of people (me included) put atmosphere and the general experience level with the actual musicianship. I know it's the wrong way of looking at 'live music' but it has put oasis (and stone roses) into my top gigs I've seen

[addicted2noise]

Is that why, now he has the freedom, he's creating such different, 'challenging' material?

[Guest]

This is so painfully out of tune it's embarrassing. It was as out of tune at Glastonbury when they played

[russycarps]

Oo er missus. Poor Tony

[Guest]

this and his confession that he used to be a groupie (in the general forum) and I am beginning to see tony in a very different light

So why exactly was Noel Gallagher invited to that Downing Street bash?

[russycarps]

everything now makes sense

*bleaches brain*

[Wooderson]

Hilarious thread.

[eFestivals]

just had a guy mail me some info, saying that a reformed oasis is happening.

He's someone who has sent us kosher info in the past, tho he's also sent us some wrong stuff. His place in things means that he hears stuff but has no way of knowing whether what he's hearing is correct. He has his doubts about this.

But then again, it's quite likely that his source would know about it happening if it is happening, so there might be something to it.

He's told me enough for me to do some decent digging around, which I hope will be enough to find out something either way.

PS: nothing about what he said relates to Glastonbury, BTW. Just that they're (supposedly) reforming. I've posted it in here because this was the first Oasis topic that came up when I searched for Oasis.

Noel needs to stay away, he has built up a good reputation on his own. Obviously the money must be too good to turn down.
