Are the followers of "bad boy" rockers Oasis loyal Labour party voters ? British premier minister Tony Blair seemed to believe so for a while and tried to squeeze the fan mailing list out of the band prior to the 1997 elections. He intended to spamm it with party adds. Blair biographer John Harris came across the story. He reports that the politician had invited Noel Gallagher to Downing Street to get the addresses from him. But the Wonderwall-band strictly denied the request.

(Original) Sind die Anhänger der Rüpelrocker Oasis auch brave Labourwähler? Der britische Premierminister Tony Blair schien das eine Weile zu glauben und belämmerte vor den Wahlen 1997 die Band, ihre Fanmailingliste rauszurücken. Die wollte er mit Parteiwerbung spammen. Der Blair-Biograf John Harris deckte die Story nun auf. Er berichtet, der Politiker habe Noel Gallagher in die Downing Street eingeladen, um ihm die Adressen aus den Rippen zu leiern. Doch die Wonderwall-Band lehnte strikt ab.

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
