Two Chumps

K and C

K and C

This post is going to seem a bit old-chestnutty (we already have an Oasis post in the archives), and the pic probably seems befuddling. But the two chumps in it have been my best friends in this place for the better part of the last five years, and it seemed a tiny bit appropriate to dedicate a post to them, for the following reasons:

a) I only started talking to them because a friend told me they were Oasis fans, which, four years ago, in a sea of people whose favourite bands were all called Angelic [something] or Demonic [something]- Bangalorean metal fans, honestly- was really rare. In fact, if it hadn’t been for that little piece of information, we would never have bothered to revise our initial impressions of each other (mine of them : insufferable yuppie and insufferable brat respectively. Theirs of me: rude bitch). Not that we were wrong – K and C were practically Tweedledum and Tweedledee back in the day, and yours truly was a complete misanthrope- but..

b) C -the one on the right- has a birthday today. He’ll make fun of me if he finds out about this post, but happy birthday anyway, C.

Oasis- Acquiesce

Included here for no other reason than the fact that I love hearing Noel and Liam on the same song, and K and C once used ‘agree’ and ‘Oasis’ as clues to guess this in a round of What’s The Good Word.

Oasis- Columbia

Definitely Maybe is one of the very few albums I actually own, and screw whether NME/ the Guardian commentators think it’s cool or not, it’s amazing. And this is perfect for times when I want my brain fried.

Oasis- Digsy’s Diner

Underrated, silly, awesome fun. Though the mention of lasagne does make me feel like running off to a place where I can get some.

Oasis- All Around The World

Insanely long. Maybe too long, really, like most of Be Here Now. But, like K said many years ago, the line “you’re lost at sea, well, I hope that you drown“, it lives…

    AAAAAHHHHH! Oasis. What bliss. On a sleepy, sombre Monday morning, staring down the barrel of a mad mad week, I acquiesce with your choice of music.

    I have nothing except a Raconteur album on my office comp, this is a welcome addition. Thank you. And using names isn’t banned you know. Anyway, Happy Birthday C.

    Defintely Maybe is great. Why even read the NME?

    Han: I’d heard of it…and I love parkas as much as the next girl, but no. Just no.

    rightroundbaby: Thanks ^_^, I knew you and Han would like it even if no one around here is anywhere near needing an Oasis primer. And I’ve always referred to C and K and my other friends by their initials, it’s a habit I guess.
    Definitely Maybe is awesome. No doubts on that.
