Oasis in Garageland?

• filed under Misc.

When I read New York Magazine call the new Oasis album “unburdened of hubris” I was somewhat skeptical. What would be left of the Gallagher brothers shorn of hubris?  

A pretty good rock and roll band judging from the versions of the new songs I have heard so far from the new tour.  

I had always hoped to use the beginning of the band’s Lord Don’t Slow Me Down as intro music for Senator Clinton at rallies but never really pushed it.  Take a listen. My idea was that she would actually have come on stage at 15 seconds into the song when the guitars explode. Unfortunately at the 30 second mark Liam Gallagher sings “I’m tired and I’m sick,” which was probably not the message we were looking to send.

Oh well, still a great song.

Advantage Obama

Heading into the GOP convention I shared my thoughts on the state of the race here.  Bottom Line: While the Palin pick may shake up the dynamic, after an incredibly successful convention, this is Barack Obama’s race to lose.
