WHATS UP EVERYBODY??!!?? This week John and Sarah sit down and talk about the black sheep of the Oasis catalogue – Be Here Now. We go track by track, as we discuss why some tracks are great, some tracks are bad, and some tracks were missing something. We discuss the length of the album, and was it too long, or not long enough? We discuss how the aura of a song can be made, and why (in John’s opinion) 1 song had a negative aura, and one a positive. We discuss how needless instrumentals can drive someone crazy, and how a road trip to see the band from Louisiana to Fairfax VA was harrowing for all the wrong reasons.
We also speak about the prelude to the album, and how Oasis blew their next to last chance at cracking the US before the album came out. The disastrous MTV Unplugged session from a logistical standpoint, and the recording of the album, which was rife with arguments, paparazzi, and an amount of drug use that horrified a record executive, who was known for partying.
