I know this is going against what the Oasis fanbase's type of music is but has anybody heard of this guy? If you haven't, id like to implore you to give him a try. Admittedly his songs are a bit lacking in the "big guitar" sound but i think the sparsity of instruments around him only help to bring his voice and lyrics to the forefront. I don't exactly know where to categorize him he doesn't exactly have the Coldplay sound but i wouldnt exactly categorize him as Emo-Rock either..Choice tracks to wet your palate would be: Between the Bars (Thats the song that drew me in), King's Crossing, Fond Farewell and Twilight. Hehe well alright, just wondering if anybody on here listens to him.

Yeah he killed himself last year actually. They had an article on him in SPIN last month (U2 Cover) and it's pretty crazy cuz he's been suicidal for a long time...In the article it stated that he once tried to jump off a cliff but his fall was broken by a few branches and brushery. He killed himself by stabbing himself twice in the chest with a kitchen knife....Now i know it takes alot of bullocks to end your own life but to actually insert a knife into your chest only to pull it out and plunge it deep into ur chest again takes major stones...Ah well i'm getting beside the point here, regardless of the sadness and pain he felt through life he made some really wonderful music.

Thanks man for the info. I'm currently getting into him as well. "Miss Misery" drew me in. On his website is a video of him performing it at the Oscars. It was nominated for best song or something for "Good Will Hunting", a great movie by the way. It lost to Celine Dion (shit) for Titanic I think.

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
