Sometime in 1995 I chanced upon a song playing in NU107. It captivated me with “Champagne Supernova” lyrics – me being in hipster phase, being attracted to things that was ironic and overall it just called onto me.
Right after that a voice roped me to go to a local music store. I was there at their glass display counter browsing a wall lined up with all sorts of music in cassette tape.
I hummed the lyrics of “Champagne Supernova” to the sales lady and she pulled out an Oasis.
The first time ever have I known this band. And the rest as they say is that I made them my idols.
Beady Eye, Noel Gallagher – it’s all Oasis to me.
I pay tribute to Oasis for my poetry and photography. Pretentious as it started but hey, we all fake it till we make it.
