Don't know if this has brought before, but does anyone know how big of an Oasis fan Elliott Smith was? I know that he did a cover of Supersonic, but I don't know if he just had a passing fancy, or if he was a really big fan.

Love Elliott Smith, and love that he had the balls to play this song. Unfortunately, this clip doesn't have the end, where he almost defends Oasis.

Yes, Elliott Smith liked Oasis according to "Elliott Smith and the Big Nothing" biography.

Page 195/196, prior to recording Basement...

"He (Smith) went through a huge britpop phase... he was changing his messages on the phone. One of them was him singing "Hey Now" by Oasis, and we'd be sneering like Liam, and he started playing Supersonic at shows... he was going through a big dumb rock phase, loving Oasis... he had the rock out. He was looking for drum sounds, electric guitar sounds. I think he was expanding his sonic pallate, his textures; he was mining for materials."

thanks. K+

The guy who said "big dumb rock phase" sounds like he his head up his ass. But fair enough, at least Elliott Smith liked them enough to be extremely interested and be a fan.

Such a shame about his death, imagine how great a collaboration between him and Noely G would be!

Shoutbox

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

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

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

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5
