However, soon after we had sat down, a gang of male besuited after-work drinkers had arrived. Ties off, obviously several pubs into a crawl, they had taken over the pool table. But what was most annoying was they had programmed the jukebox for the whole of Oasis’ Be Here Now – singing along to every track.
From Work of Art
The Battle of the Bands, the Battle of Britpop, Oasis vs Blur, one of the biggest, most hyped, music events of the 90s. So I had to include reference to the two bands and their ‘conflict’. Although I found it more interesting, and it fitted the plot and timeline of Work of Art better, to reference Be Here Now, with all its coked-up fuzzy guitars, rather than the earlier more classic album. I don’t think I listened to it much at the time but I’ve got to admit, after listening to it as I wrote, it’s kind of grown on me now.
So what’s the matter with you
Sing me something new
