Having just emerged from a year of Britpop obsession (kicked off by my long-time love of Stutter by Elastica) your Blur column hit the right spot. I had weaned myself off it by mainlining the band Garbage, but then I ran across two Oasis b-sides, Fade Away and Strange Thing and that blew me right back into it. They have to be top-5 Oasis songs (see the 1994 NY Fade Away performance on Youtube). Anyway, 3 things – thanks for the great Britpop article, thanks for the magnificent job of Jewish advocacy and the fight against antisemitism, and on a lighter note you really picked the worst picture of Justine Frischmann that has ever been taken!
Ack! I'm an OASIS lover all the way. I miss the old days with my dad (may his memory be a blessing) driving around to tiny, hole in the wall CD and record stores to find singles and live albums and all things OASIS. If they hadn't broken up and were still making music they'd probably be my favorite band of all time. Total team Noel too, his solo stuff far outshines his brothers.
