Oasis Is Genius!
Let's take a look at the Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, and just why they are the best that BritPop had to offer. Maybe someone of you are celebrating England's advance in the World Cup to the Group of 16. Maybe some of you are fans and have taken the time to either go to the games, or watch the videos I've seen of Brits singing along to Oasis' ''Wonderwall''. It is always a joy to see how one song can unite so many people, even if you don't feel like anybody feels the way you do...today...

The Album I Love But Rarely Want to Hear
So, it's spring 1994. I'm 14 and have a very busy, questioning mind. Ever since I moved on from Kylie Minogue and whatever random pop music happened to be on the radio, I started developing my own musical taste. I gravitated towards indie, rock, metal and dance music, which naturally led me to industrial music. The bands that resonated with me most were Ministry, Front Line Assembly and Nine Inch Nails.

Feline Like A Song
Introduction I was not sure that I had already done and looking through my stories I don't think I have. I didn't think there were that many songs that related to cats apart from those from Disney films and "Love Cats" by The Cure, but then I started to remember that there was quite a lot in my collection. The beat generation referred to the cool ones as cats so there may be a few where the feline referral is more than a little ambiguous.

The Put Down (You Got A Lotta Nerve To Say That You're My Friend). Content Warning.
Introduction I am not sure what prompted this, and I don't normally do pieces that are maybe negative towards others, but a line from Doctor John Cooper Clarke came to mind, that reminded me of a Graham Parker song that reminded my of the Bob Dylan song where almost every line is a vicious put down.

Temptation - A Playlist
Introduction To quote Oscar Wilde: "I Can Resist Anything But Temptation" and today I wrote an excellent poem inspired by photos (of landscapes if case you were wondering) shared by my friend Cherri, you can read the poem and see the pictures below.

The Crucial Three
Introduction The Crucial Three were a short-lived band that existed for approximately six weeks in early 1977. They are nevertheless notable on account of the individual success of all three founding members: Julian Cope formed The Teardrop Explodes and has enjoyed a long and successful solo career as an author, photographer and singer, Ian McCulloch formed the very successful Echo & the Bunnymen, while guitarist Pete Wylie formed Wah! Heat (and various subsequent incarnations of Wah!) and enjoyed major chart success with "The Story of the Blues". In those early days, McCulloch sang, Cope played bass, and Wylie played guitar. A drummer, Stephen Spence, also joined at some point in their brief life.

A Devilish Playlist For Halloween And Bonfire Night. Top Story - October 2023. Content Warning.
Introduction This week we have Halloween on Tuesday and Bonfire Night on Sunday. I always think the Devil is given a bad rap. Think about it, in the Bible God is the one who punishes everyone and forces them to do terrible things, including the genocide caused by the flood. He cast out Adam and Eve because they tried to find things out, turned Lot's wife into salt, told Abraham to kill his son, and the list goes on.
