Alan McGee on Spiritualized

Post by G* »

    No, it's not some macabre game of Twister or some such.

    Instead, and apologies if this has already been mentioned with it slipping beneath my radar, but just noticed that MR I SAW OASIS IN BARROWLANDS AND SIGNED THEM ON THE SPOT SO THERE posted this on the Guardian's website a while back:

    http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/music/2007/ ... m_pic.html

    Not a bad read. Bit rudimentary but more than the Guardian normally gives Jason, which manifest lack of interest and taste is almost enough to make me want to disown my liberal attitude and start reading the Daily Diana. But not quite.

    Hadn't read that article thanks jean-jeany.

    I wish people would write something else...it's all the same. Any board memebrs ever interviewed J?

    If so, where can we read it?

    I agree with him. While I love all Spiritualized albums, LAGWAFIS is their ultimate end to end classic. I couldn't stop listening to it then, and I still can't stop now. It's harrowing, uplifting, bleak, optimistic, pessimistic, spacy, quiet, loud--all in one album, and sometimes within the same song. "Amazing Grace" I still like, as well....but I love the 3 dimensionalism on LAGWAFIS--and as good as "Let It Come Down" is, it's a bit too "nice" and proper at times.

    I'm getting chills just thinking about how great LAGWAFIS is.

    Just thought i would say, Mcgee signed Oasis at King Tuts, not the Barrowlands. They supported 18 Wheeler.
