Random Music Talk CXXXI: Interference Finally Gets Its Revenge on Cobbler

[cobl04]

I am really digging West End Girl. I could do with perhaps a bit less autotune because she has such a great voice, but it's pretty damn excellent.

Just got back from seeing Oasis.

What a show. Hype justified and expectations exceeded. Opening barrage of nine barnstormers, before Noel whips out the acoustic and the sing alongs start. Main set closes with a run of peak Definitely Maybe tunes before the encore is given over to the Morning Glory showstoppers.

Amazing buzz in and out of the stadium. Liam on top form, had a bit of a rant about Bon Jovi for some reason. Noel had his share of highlights, Don’t Look Back in Anger with 80,000 people is something else. 10/10 would recommend.

I wasn't interested in going having never been a big fan, but I know so many people who did and loved seeing the joy, and hearing that they were in the finest of form. As a bunch of these big artists and anniversary tours have become more popular over the past decade, it feels like there's been a very welcome shift away from the more cynical narratives that used to pervade reviews of such shows. I'm very glad we're arriving at a point where people can just enjoy nostalgia tours guilt-free.

yeah, my buddy who ragged on me to no end for going to see the U2 JT30 tour just saw oasis this summer and says it was by far the best concert of his life lol.

If nothing else then it’s a chance for the people who weren’t old enough or born 30 years ago to experience it. By the time I could have gone to see Oasis I was never that interested due to the newer material being showcased and Liam’s general decline. This is essentially Knebworth ‘96 again, perfect.

Watched the 2025 RRHOF ceremony/induction on Disney +. Not going to lie, got a little watery eyed during the Soundgarden induction.

 

[cobl04]

I cried watching OutKast's induction.

 

[david]

Yeah the overall show was really good this year.

We Are The Dream Eaters, guys.

I'm really hoping that tour America again next year. I saw them back in 2022 two people back from the front of the stage and it was such an amazing experience.

Just had to postpone their US tour,muck up with visas.

This kind of went hard:

 

[cobl04]

Anyone into/know Parcels? Australian electropop indie dance band. I find their studio output pleasant but a little uninspiring; saw them live last night and was blown away. Anyone else know of artists like that?

Hello all. It’s a new year and I’m getting back into music writing. Started up a Substack with a post on 10 years of Blackstar and a celebration of all things David Bowie over the weekend.

If anyone is interested, I’d appreciate you giving it a read!

Ruminate and Celebrate: The Legacy of Blackstar

As David Bowie's final album turns 10, it and he remain as vital as ever.

Sad news for those of us who have been here long enough to remember. The member known as Bonochick passed away unexpectedly. Super nice person who happened to be from my hometown so she's one of the few people from this site I actually met in person.

 

[phanan]

Wow, very sad.

 

[MrPryck2U]

I remember her. Wasn't she a mod here? Either way, my condolences to those that knew her personally. I always had good interactions with her. RIP Bonochick.

RIP
