Way back in the dark days of 1995, dark only because they’re long ago, my sister introduced me to a band that she and her friends were listening to — Oasis. I think their second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory, had just come out, as I seem to recall a couple of songs —Continue reading “On Psychedelic Oasis”

On Wake Up Music
Sometimes, when I wake up in the morning, I have a song stuck in my head. Today’s song? Oasis’ “Let There Be Love,” from Don’t Believe The Truth. And now I’ve just discovered that Oasis’ seventh album, Dig Out Your Soul, releases in October. I really need to pay more attention.
