BONUS EPISODE! Oasis Special - Why do Oasis make people feel so emotional?

Oasis? The Maccabees? Rilo Kiley? Wuf Lyf? The Rapture? It's been a year of big come backs.

But not one of them has the cultural heft of today's guest's truly massive comeback.

In the mid 00's David Chanell took a Hertfordshire town and injected heavy levels of indie to a place that was dangerously negelected in skinny jean wearers.

With his clubnight (and indeed his band!) back to business this Autumn, it only felt right to get David on the pod to hear about how his band, The Fullertons, went from playing Walkabout in Watford to playing shows in Moscow.

He picked an almighty riff machine of an album and in this episode, we talk about finding your tribe in independent music venues (shout out to Trinity!),having big hair and questionable scarf wearing.

If you're not a fan of the cigarette smoking Southern riff merchants, then at least listen for my truly absurd intro to this incredible album, where I imagine a world in which the fourth Kings of Leon album didn't exist...

Enjoy irresponsibly.

For episode 34 I'm joined by a man that is in the thick of the cultural zeitgeist, it's James C from The Oasis Podcast!

They said it would never happen, they said it would never see the light of day, but the time is right - and the time is now. Finally, I'm releasing the first EVER episode of "THIS Album..." that was ever recorded.

James and I recorded over Zoom on a Friday night back in November and though I was clearly a bit nervous recording my first podcast, James' broadcasting expertise shone through and we had a LOVELY time deep diving the folk masterpiece, Another Side of Bob Dylan.

Yes, I know what you're thinking, "Mr Oasis choosing an album that isn't by Oasis....?!!" But James decided (understandably) to swerve the bus man's holiday and branch out into non Gallagher related territory.

If you want to hear James talk about Oasis, I've got great news for you! He's got 8 years worth of episodes covering Manchester's finest, readily available wherever you find your podcasts.

Hope you enjoy the episode, but please don't judge the host (me) too harshly, it was my first time hosting a podcast!

Stay in touch, stay engaged and Stay Young.
