Oasis a seriously interesting band. Now, they were a British rock band formed in Manchester in about 1991, maybe a little bit before. Originally, they went by the name The Rain. The members were Liam Gallagher who really just sang and beat on the tambourine once in a while. Paul Arthurs, who's playing the guitar, Paul McGuigan, who was playing bass, and Tony McCaroll, who was the drummer. Now, pretty soon, Liam has an older brother named Noel Gallagher, who was a very prolific and solid songwriter, wrote some great tunes. But it was kind of, partly by being an older brother, wasn't too interested in what his younger brother's band was doing. But as time went on, he wants the band to put together, to play his songs. So, Noel pretty much called up the band and said "I want you guys to play my songs. I want to be the only song writer in the band."

They decided to take him on up on the proposal because they really needed some material and what they were going up with was really sub standard. Because is a great songwriter, once he joined up with the band, the great tunes turned them into a hit machine. They managed to put out 8 number one singles in the UK along with 7 number one albums. They won all kinds of awards, MTV, Q awards, and Europe music awards. In 2007 they produced one of the best albums of the past 30 years.

They were nominated for some Grammies after their BBC radio listeners voted for them. As of 2009, they have sold more than 30 million records. By the way, they were listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest top ten UK chart run for a group. This happened because they had 22 consecutive top ten hits. Really, this is unheard of. Even way back, the Beatles didn't have that many. It's certainly interesting when a band talks about or perhaps rarely proclaims that they are the next Beatles. This happens every now and then when the critics or the record labels, Sony, BMG, and others believe that their latest, hot band is on the way to being the next Beatles. People, this will never happen. There were things going on in history that made it possible for the Beatles to become who they were. Anyway, the band members signed on to the Creation Records label. This is when they started putting out their initial stuff.

Definitely Maybe. This came a little after their early hits. Really, I want to talk mainly about how the song, Wonderwall is really a take off of the Beatles. George Harrisons was the first of the Beatles to put out a solo album. It was the soundtrack to a movie called Wonderwall. Wonderwall Music with an album called Wonderwall Music. Well. It was really a bunch of ambient type stuff that was not anywhere close to being ready for the Beatles label. However, it was released under the Apple label, likely because Capital, EMI didn't think it would ever sell and wanted nothing to do with it.

At least George had more musical content. John were a little bit more like revolutionized and his other experimental song What's the New Mary Jane that didn't show up, that wasn't...They never showed up on official release. They finally put up an edited version, one of the edited versions on it on Beatles Anthology three ad lib. So, the song Wonderwall, getting back to Oasis, as I'm wandering off here in a daze. Whoops! Just a minute, my notes are disappearing. The band of course made appearances on MTV unplugged. They played on World Festival Hall but they also always have bickering between the brothers and it seems like now the plug has been pulled finally. And for every...As far as everybody else is concern, they are done. But Noel Gallagher is off and doing his own thing, writing his own stuff, playing...He spent some time playing with Zac Starkey, Ringo's son. So another Beatles connection between Oasis and a member of the Beatles. So, the album, by the way, that Wonderwall was from came out in 1995. It is called "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?". It just rode, rode the charts for a while, because it had a lot of singles: "Some Might Say, " "Roll With It, " of course, "Wonderwall, " "Don't Look Back in Anger." Those were all big. They were, again, much bigger in the UK, in Britain, than they were in the United States. But, they did have two big hits in the US. Aside from "Wonderwall, " "Champagne Supernova" was another one that became a radio staple for a while, and even a song I taught to a lot of people in the middle and late 1990s, when music was kind of sketchy and had entered a sort of void period at that point, anyway. There were some interesting complaints, or at least maybe critical comments about especially a lot of the stuff from "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?". Writer John Harris, in his article called "Britpop!: Cool Britannia and the Spectacular Demise of English Rock, " compares a lot of the songs and themes from that album directly to other songs.

He cites Gary Glitter's "Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again" as a song that has stuff clearly stolen from it. John Lennon's "Imagine"... the song "Don't Look Back in Anger" is a lot like "Imagine." "You and Me, " "She's Electric, " and the R.E.M song, "The One I Love." "Morning Glory" is a lot like that. The songs really had such close resemblance to other existing pop songs, or older existing pop songs, that it really is hard to hand these guys a lot of credit for being very original.

But, that's what happens in this style of Brit pop. Actually, there was a lot of this in general just going on in the music industry, with not a lot of innovative, creative ideas. But, again, Oasis said they were better than The Beatles. Much like Michael Stipe. I was having a conversation the other day with one of my students, and we were talking about people. Self promoters. At one point in an interview, I believe, Michael Stipe of R.E.M. We were talking about some great R.E.M. songs, "Losing My Religion, " and "Stand." Anyway. But, at one point Michael Stipe referred to Beatles stuff as "elevator music." It's hard to believe anybody, any real musician, could even entertain that thought, let alone make the statement. I know the interviewer, at the end, did say had it not been for that elevator music, the makers of that elevator music, Michael Stipe would have been taking the stairs his whole life. That's what happens when people try to compare themselves to the masters. It's a bit dicey. The last thing I want to go through is some of the other songs that were on "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" It opened up with "Hello." Even Gary Glitter got credit for that one, because it was definitely taken. It was almost a cover of his song."Roll With It" was the next song, and then of course, "Wonderwall, " then, "Don't Look Back in Anger." Again, this sounded so much like "Imagine."

There you go; I just had to get Imagine back in my head. They also did Hey Now! And one called Untitled. It's amazingly clever and creative to name a song Untitled. I mean, really, this is one of my all time favorite titles, I myself have dozens of songs by that name. "Some Might Say" was followed by "She's Electric", then "Morning Glory" and ending with a few more tunes, then one more "Untitled". You know something, they gave these untitled songs subtitles. This one was called "The Swamp Song." The other one was called "The Swamp Song." Part 1, part 2. Or, "Excerpt 1" and "Excerpt 2." And, then it ended with "Champagne Supernova." I must note that these two tracks, the Swamp tracks, were officially "Untitled, " but it's mainly because there were a few blank spots in the tapes, particularly on the ones that were produced in Mexico. There was a bonus track on the vinyl edition. Vinyl had kind of died about 10 years before, but it was still hanging around a little bit. There was an extra song on there, "Bonehead's Bank Holiday." If you're ever looking for "Bonehead's Bank Holiday" by Oasis, and you know it's from the "Morning Glory" period, you've got to find it on the vinyl.

That is my last couple of thoughts on these guys. So, if you're really interested in Oasis, I encourage you to check out some of their many interesting albums.Their songs are pretty fun to play. But, if you can play half a dozen Beatles songs, I guarantee you could play all the Oasis songs, because they're a little bit simpler.

A live Christmas party band for an office Christmas party, children's party or a large holiday gathering at someone's home would give guests more fun, entertainment and something to do over listening to a DJ spinning records or hearing a radio station playing the same tired old classic holiday tunes.

If someone is planning a Christmas party for their office, they could use some of their budget to hire a group of local musicians to play Christmas songs for the guests to revive a traditionally dull type of party.

There are several music related games that a live band could participate in along with the guests and would keep guests entertained for part of the party. Musical competitions between teams or groups might include musical chairs or Name That Tune and an office Christmas party of adult would enjoy this as much as children. Naturally a sing-along would be in order.

Christmas music played by a group of musicians at someone's home holiday party would have more of the guests dancing and singing instead of sitting on the sidelines waiting for a chance to exit. What a nice surprise for guest when they arrive to find a live group of musicians taking requests for not only the traditional Christmas songs, but some of the newer ones as well.

Some songs are meant to be shared, such as carols and what a nice idea to have a live band playing Christmas carols and other popular tunes everyone knows as guest arrive, enjoy the evening and then exit.

In order for the person in charge of the Christmas office party or holiday assembly to see the entertainment before the big event, they should seek them out, watch and listen to their other performances at area venues. This will give the person signing the check for the band a chance to hear and see if they are going to be getting their moneys worth.

Teens and younger children, awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus would enjoy listening and singing along with a live band belting out old and new Christmas songs and carols. The band could also play lively music during the gift exchange portion of the party. If a band knew some of the newer, funnier Christmas songs like Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer and then performed some of the older, more traditional songs, children would really like that.

A hospital, schools with different ages and grades or a retirement home are all good places to have a Christmas party with a live band playing songs of today and yesterday. A party organizer would look good in the eyes of the attendees if they were to schedule a live band for entertainment.

A Christmas party held in a religious facility or for a church youth group could use a Christmas party band that specializes in Christian or holy music with a sprinkling of traditional Christmas carols and other old-fashion holiday songs for a pleasing act.

Your beautiful garden can benefit from a small, yet perfectly attractive building, called a studio. Nowadays, garden studios have become a necessity, as more and more people have chosen to start a business from home and the regular office is not the only place where you can do your work.

In the past few years, people began to use these studios not only as an office, but also as a second living room away from any disturbance, a gym or a game room, a library or a music room from where no one can hear you screaming in the microphone or hitting the drums.

Being, sound-proofed, your garden studio can allow for tea parties without waking up the baby sleeping in the main house. Nothing bothers you here and no matter what you do, you're no bother to anybody. You can play music with freedom, even use loud speakers, and your sound-proofed studio will keep it a secret from anybody outside it.

In case you do not have a garden, the studio can even be set up on the roof top of your home and it can be very well used to entertain your guests without disturbing your sleeping children. More than that, being sound-proofed, you can throw your birthday party in there, having the music blare.

You and your family can have tea parties with friends and colleagues all summer long, and forecasters promise its going to be long and hot. This patch of heaven is a great escape from the hot sun. And even if summer is the warm and pleasant season, you can still enjoy the cold seasons in your new garden studio which is comfortable all year long. Floor insulation, yet low heating bills, will keep you glued to your small corner of paradise.

Atelier garden studios are a subtle exercise in balance between aesthetics and function, between attention to high technology and natural materials and the effect on their surroundings.
