Music of O: Finally, Oasis.

Remember a few days ago when I shared my love affair with Amos Lee? No? Okay, maybe it's better that you missed it (Hint: Look at "M"). Or maybe you do remember it? Sweet, then you shouldn't be surprised when I admit I have another love affair, this time with the band Oasis. And when I say "love affair" what I really mean is "I love the music they make when they can stop fighting long enough to write."

Make any sense?

Here's what you need to know:

1. Oasis is no longer together.
2. The two (in)famous frontmen brothers, Noel and Liam Gallagher, are basically massive enemies.
3. It's just a matter of time until they reconcile for a reunion tour. Likely because Beady Eye and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds (both brothers' spin off bands) aren't nearly as magic as the brothers are when they work together.
4. (What's the Story) Morning Glory is maybe one of the best albums ever made. There, I said it. Tracks like "Wonderwall", "Champagne Supernova", and "Morning Glory" are examples of Oasis' wide ability, but "Don't Look Back In Anger" will always be vintage Oasis to me. Here, have a listen:

Other albums and favorite tracks include:

Be Here Now: "Stand By Me" and "All Around the World"
Dig Out Your Soul: "Bag It Up", "Soldier On", "High Horse Lady", and "I'm Outta Time"
Don't Believe the Truth: "Lyla" and "Let There Be Love"
Familiar to Millions (live 2-disc album): "Supersonic", "Gas Panic!", "Cigarettes & Alcohol"
Heathen Chemistry: "The Hindu Times", "Force of Nature", "Stop Crying Your Heart out", and "Born on a Different Cloud"
The Masterplan: "Talk Tonight", "Half the World Away", and "The Masterplan"

Le gasp! How do I not yet have Definitely, Maybe in my collection? This is a sacrilege! "Rock 'n' Roll Star"? "Live Forever"? "Supersonic"? (Question mark inside or outside of the quotations? These are the questions keeping me up at night, folks!) Why isn't this in my iTunes? Okay, I'd write more, but clearly, I have an album to buy. Toute suite.

A demain, mes amies.
