Country House is better tbf

 

Listening to The La's episode now and I'm not sure about it yet. I had never heard of this podcast before this thread, but the format is right up my alley. The host is a little hard to listen to though.

 

It takes a bit but she grows on you. Her interview podcast is great too

 

Yeah, I was ready to turn it off after a few minutes but the subject matter made me keep listening and you get used to her.

 

The best recording of Slide Away to date. Absolutely impressive.

 

Yeah it’s okay but the whole thing is a little book report/Wikipedia-ish. Not as much proper music talk as I would have hoped.

 

i agree generally. also that’s a weird episode bc there’s not much there there. it’s just one album lol.

 

I have mixed feelings on Bandsplain. The Oasis episodes were insanely fun, mostly because they're like 50 percent reciting hilarious Liam and Noel insults. But a lot of the episodes (including Oasis!) follow the pattern of praising the early stuff and hand-waving the later albums. Which, in a lot cases, fair! But I feel like if you're going to have a podcast with that name, you should find guests who are insane die-hards that will go to bat for less loved albums. Like, get @phaynes12 on there to make the "Be Here Now is their best album" argument, instead of someone with the typical "the first two albums are masterpieces and everything after is whatever" opinion.

 

i really should have been on the episode

 

at the very least steven hyden should have been lmao

 

The Third Eye Blind episode was a bummer. Seemed like the guy really liked the first two albums and had basically never listened to anything after.

 

i do think the blur episode is one of their best bc it’s one of the few where the guest cares about every album but CR is also the GOATed podcaster

 

It takes a rare kind of sicko to do what I'm describing, and Chris Ryan is absolutely that sicko.

 

the Weezer episode with Barry of Joyce Manor was a great listen.

 

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeyah babe

just can't do the host's whole thing. would love it with any other host, I think.

 

Heathen Chemistry is probably my least spun Oasis record, but the singles are strong so I can’t say it’s a bad album. Way too many people sleep on Don’t Believe The Truth. The highlight of the back half of their discography imo. Part of the Queue is one of my favorite Noel songs.

 

I relistened to Heathen Chemistry for the first time in over a decade hoping it would be better than I remembered. Unfortunately not, in one ear and out the other. I do like “The Hindu Times” and I really like “Just Getting Older” (b-side) as well

 

I actually really dug Heathen Chemistry on my last Oasis binge.

 

just finished my listen and the highs (hindu times, force of nature, little by little) are high but the lows are lowwww. it’s between that and dig out your soul for their worst.

 

Dig Out Your Soul was easily my least favorite on this past listen through the catalog. The revelation was Giants, which I’d never spent much time with, but rules.

 

Really wish we were getting I Hope, I Think, I Know on this tour. One of my favorites. Thankful for Little By Little though.

 

“I Hope I Think I Know” or “It’s Getting Better (Man!!!)” would be so sick

 

been telling you for years

 

i feel like the setlist will be the same show to show but columbia, my big mouth and shock and the lightning would be huge
