I love it, I think it's like Soldier Boys and Jesus Freaks, sometimes i like it, sometimes not

That's actually a fantastic comparison, and one I agree with.

SBAJF sounded dull to me at first, but sometimes I like it. Still the weakest on NGHFB, mind.

I love the opening lines of the song, and the nod to The Kinks,

"All the people of the village green, gather 'round their TV screens, to hear the government about to speak, for soldier boys and Jesus freaks...", and then the lines from there on forward to the "She could kiss the sky" bit. I feel as though if Noel would've put a 50 piece choir in that little bit, to go with that beautiful trumpet, it would've made it sound extraordinary.

Awesome song, and it's one of the reasons why I recently DL'ed The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society because if that song is similar to The Kinks, I'd be very glad to know what the band actually has.

Back on track..

I love how the bassline works well with the Mellotron and electric guitar on that Masterplan-sounding Middle 8. Plus the little solo that seems little disoriented (for lack of a better term) gives the song a bit of a quirky vibe to it, which is what a song titled "The Girl with X-Ray Eyes" should have.

I had the most wonderful time discovering The Kinks. you'll love if you're a fan of Noel's solo stuff.

everybody in this world should own everything they released from Face to Face ('66) to Muswell Hillbillies ('71).

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
