Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 12 – Oasis, “Wibbling Rivalry”

Oasis, Wibbling Rivlary, 1994 Technically, it’s a single. It was released as a single back in 1994 – even though it’s an interview. I believe it’s the highest-charting “interview” ever. It is Liam and Noel, the Gallagher brothers of Oasis locked in a lunatic-rant against one another. It’s hilarious, embarrassing, stupid and invigorating. It was […]

RNZ Feature: Music Feuds

I’m usually on RNZ once a month to have a chat about some new albums. But the other day I got the call up to present a Music Feature for the Afternoons show. The topic was Music Feuds – and so I discussed The Beatles/Yoko Ono, Simon & Garfunkel, Marvin Gaye’s divorce from Anna Gordy […]

Oasis – Supersonic: Film

Oasis: Supersonic Director: Mat Whitecross Mint Pictures/Nemperor/On The Corner Films It might seem cruel – but it’s the truth: the only Oasis albums that matter, or mattered, or needed to happen, are the first two. The length of their discography since, and teased rumours of a reunion and the watered-down versions of Oasis that are […]

Stubs: # 2 – Oasis, Wellington, 1998

I liked the first couple of Oasis albums – the third was a giant let-down, crushing. And that was it for me, they never won me back. But I did go see them on the tour behind that shitty third album – mostly because I had a mate who was a huge fan, I think […]

The Strokes: Comedown Machine

The Strokes Comedown Machine RCA There it is – clear as day with that cover – another assignment for RCA filed, completed. This is The Strokes’ fifth and final album for RCA; they’ve fulfilled their contractual obligations and they wanted you to know that by choosing a boring rank-and-file cover. (Well, it’s certainly rank at […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1552

Phil Collins, No Jacket Required (1985) The rules are pretty simple. You are allowed to like Phil Collins for his early work with Genesis (especially when he was a drummer). You are in fact allowed to like him as a drummer. This means you can even go back to Brand X and you can certainly […]
