Live Forever

Damn. Apparently, no more Oasis.

In case you missed it (which you probably have), Noel Gallagher quit the band and cancelled all their remaining gigs for this year because he couldn't stand his brother any longer.

To be fair, even if they were best friends, they'd still inevitably clash. You can fire a random, or even a friend, but your brother...

Anyway, on to the music. It's magical. The first two-and-a-half albums were pure gold. If you've only heard Wonderwall, I encourage you to listen to other songs, or, God forbid, the whole first three albums. Supersonic, Live Forever, Morning Glory, Some Might Say, Don't Look Back in Anger and Whatever are definite musts.

Funny the way I first found them out. Sang 'She's Electric' in Year 10 for chorals, and we lost dismally once again. But you could hear a buzz when they were like "We're going to sing a song by Oasis." And I go, "They must be pretty famous." But I thought nothing more of it.

Then, at the Year 11 assembly, Visa sang Wonderwall (after about five failed attempts at getting the mic to work. Funny stuff). And I was like, "Hmm. This song is deadly. And that's twice I've heard their name now. Must start mass downloading." So I did. And I got everything. And I got hooked.

I'm sorry if they don't do anything for you. But they really vibe with me. Melodically and lyrically, and usually vocally, they are supreme. I also respect Noel for his songwriting and guitaring ability.

On a side note, it really hasn't been a good year for music. King of Pop dead. One of the best rock bands in the world disbanded. I'm just scared of what's going to happen next. I mean, good music's almost dead. If anyone else goes, there won't be any music left.

Even if there is no more Oasis, their music will 'Live Forever'.
