Alright then, lets get some things out of the way first.\u00a0 Yes, this song<\/a> makes me think about female androids.<\/p>\n

\nShe’s electric, ya know.<\/p>\n

Now that we’ve settled that, there’s another issue that demands our attention.<\/p>\n

You may find this hard to believe but…<\/p>\n

Oasis are NOT The Beatles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI think this fact may only just now be dawning on the Brothers Gallagher.\u00a0 Did you know that they share one massive monobrow between them?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nHa!\u00a0 Just kidding.\u00a0 You can probably tell that I sloppily drew one big monobrow on that pic with MS Paint.\u00a0 Here’s the original pic so you can see what they really look like:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI read that the more talented and less uppity one (Noel) left the band and claimed that he would never come back.\u00a0 Meh.\u00a0 A couple of posts down I mentioned how Mot\u00c1\u00b6rhead and AC\/DC had basically re-recorded the same album dozens of times and made it work for them.\u00a0 Well, The Beatles<\/span> sorry, Oasis tried to do the same thing.\u00a0 Didn’t work so well.\u00a0 They sure did lots of coke though.\u00a0 Oddly enough, when they stopped doing coke, their music lost its sparkle.\u00a0 Its flair.\u00a0 Its pizazz.\u00a0 Its Oomph.\u00a0 Its Raison d’\u00c1\u00aatre.<\/p>\n

The Brothers Gallagher are still a bunch of petulant twits though.\u00a0 Thank goodness they still had the attitude long after any whiff of talent had worn off.\u00a0 Perhaps I’m being a little harsh to these guys considering how much I like Oasis.\u00a0 It’s good fine music.\u00a0 Nothing to send into space on a Voyager probe, but when it comes up on my iPod’s shuffle play mode, I usually don’t skip it.<\/p>\n

And maybe that’s how Oasis should be remembered: The band you usually don’t skip when they pop up on your iPod.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
