Man, I remember being a kid and thinking that Liam was a pretty awesome singer and along with his brother, they had every excuse for acting like they were the greatest thing since The Beatles. Of course, that was when their amazing debut album, “Definitely Maybe” with the great singles “Supersonic” & “Live Forever.” And when most bands fall apart trying to come up with material for their sophomore album, The Brothers Gallagher and Oasis did not miss a beat; quite the contrary, they put together one of the greatest second albums since “Nirvana” with “Nevermind” with the superb “What’s The Story Morning Glory?” which included the timeless singles “Wonderwall,” “Champagne Supernova” & “Don’t Look Back In Anger.” But, they saved their “sophomore slump” for the rest of their career together which included a bundle of oversized ego’s, awful music, nonstop fighting & drug problems that hadn’t been seen since Mick Jagger & Keith Richards crazy days. I remember that they were always talking ish with Blur & while it really hurt & even embarrassed lead singer Damon Albarn at the time, Damon ended up having the last laugh with a crazy prolific career that is still going and not only includes a recent Blur reunion a little while back that had the boys selling out to crowds in Stadiums as massive as Wembley, but he also fronted the super badass “Gorillaz” ~ Not too bad.
Meanwhile, the only thing that the egomaniac known as Liam does these days to stay relevant is talk ship about the band that did end up being “The New Beatles,” not only commercially, but critic darlings as well and true artists that even into their 40’s still have not stopped pushing the envelope.. Yep! I’m talking about Thom Yorke & Co. (Including another set of brothers, Colin & Jonny Greenwood) AKA “RADIOHEAD” who would be easily hailed as One of the most important bands of the last 20 years with just one or two of their amazing albums, but they didn’t stop with “The Bends” or “OK Computer,” they decided to keep pushing and released the unreal “Kid A” & “Amnesiac” within a year of each other and than came out swinging with their guitars on the Politically Charged “Hail To The Thief” & after their beautiful and spellbinding live album “I Might Be Wrong: Live” they came out of left field again with “In Rainbows” which had a 2nd Album which was never officially released or spoken of, but that 2nd Album of “B-Sides” is arguably as amazing as the proper “In Rainbows” which was nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammys! They released the extremely extreme “King Of Limbs” and with the success of another album, Liam apparently couldn’t help himself but to start talking ship about the band that took the Artistry, Songwriting & Topics of their craft as serious as John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison & the luckiest dude ever born: Ringo Starr!
But, to see that Liam started with one of the coolest dudes in Hollywood right now, the super badass musician/producer & actor Idris Elba!!
Idris is NO JOKE, Probably the biggest and baddest Brit that I can remember outside of Lennox Lewis, Liam is officially off the reservation!!
I find myself wishing I was born in England more & more often and if I ever succeed as a musician, filmmaker, writer or artist in general, I will definitely live in London for a good part of my mid-life crisis. I Figure I have about 24 years until those days come along, so cross your fingers for me guys & also know how much I appreciate all of you who write to me asking for more music and more blogs.
I try to keep my cool fans on their toes and find myself making a new Blog & Twitter account at least once every couple of months. As of right now, I hve 11 Blogs & 8 Twitter Accounts & it will be A Long Time from now that everyone who even cares at that point will get to see how much work I have actually done in music, film, photography, writing, blogging, podcasting, painting, etc. I guess I could be considered the underground version of James Franco, that dude is extremely talented!!
OK CPU!
Cheers~
