Hey, Friday...you're rad, and that's that.
I posed a question on Facebook the other day about who's better- Oasis or Blur. Many said Blur. And though I love them, I love Oasis more.
Blur may have more edge, but Oasis is just a cool band, with built in sibling rivarly, and hot girlfriends and wives to boot. They're simply perfect in my book, wrote some great songs back in the day, and their style was off the bloody chain. I thought I'd share one of my photos from those very heady "cool Brittania" days- I confess that I have always been a consummate (emphasis on consume) Anglophile- yea the French and Italians are fantastic, but I have always connected with the Brits- their wit, their eccentricity, their style, their incredible ability to have cool haircuts. And of course, their music. Their amazing ablility to make some damn fine music.
As a huge huge fan of all things UK, I remember seeing this Vanity Fair cover back in 1997 and thinking it was simply the coolest thing ever, and I have to say, it still holds up. A smoking Patsy Kensit and an even more smoking and snarly and elegantly wasted/bored/pissed looking Liam Gallagher in a Union Jack themed bed, with the headline "London Swings Again!" I will never forget that cover, which pretty much sealed my ongoing love for Oasis. Thought I would share this visual from back in the day to usher in the weekend. Oasis or Blur, it doesn't matter who you prefer. But recognize how cool the music was from that short little era. Fantastic. Funny that a Blur song is playing on my shuffle right now...Yuko and Hiro. Good one...
And that's what's up this swingin' Friday in the MIA. All the love for the weekend. You're all hot models and rockstars to me, really. XO
