    Major player in Oasis story emerges in wake of ‘Supersonic’ doc



    Lim says she and Gallagher stayed in touch as the tour continued, meeting when Oasis shot the video for the song “Supersonic” at the Cabazon Dinosaurs in Southern California. They would also talk on the phone regularly, with Lim answering the phone with a line from the film “Bye Bye Birdie”: “What’s the story, morning glory?”

    She often had to console him as the brothers fought nonstop with each other and just about anyone else who entered their orbit, including bandmates, relatives and associates.

    Lim’s long-distance relationship ended when Gallagher met his future wife, Meg Matthews, at the tail end of 1994 (they married in 1997, divorced in 2001).

    When Oasis returned to San Francisco to perform at the Fillmore in early 1995, Lim found Gallagher to be distant. But hoping to maintain their relationship, she told him, “It’s OK, I won’t look back in anger. I know we’re just friends.”

    /.../

    Watching “Supersonic,” Lim says she wasn’t disappointed by Gallagher’s callous attitude about their time together.

    “Keith Richards can remember the name of his milkman from when he was 8 years old,” she says. “I don’t know what’s going on with Noel, and that’s fine. I was a part of something that touched so many people. That’s good enough.”

    (WHAT’S THE STORY) MORNING GLORY? (1995). Just one year after the debut Oasis releases an album as good, if not better. More polished but with the same cute ”whatever”-relationship to lyrics.

    Fabulous 2nd album...right up there with Vs, Nevermind, and The Bends for sophomore efforts and equally as good as Definitely Maybe (I go back and forth on which one I prefer).
    Song Rankings/Ratings (which are a little different than yours, SC).
    1. Some Might Say (5 stars)
    2. Morning Glory (5 stars)
    3. DLBIA (5 stars) 
    4. Champagne Supernova (4.5 stars)
    5. Wonderwall (4 stars) ...I'm a little sick of the studio version but love the live performance on Familiar To Millions.
    6. Hello (4 stars)
    7. Roll with It (3.5 stars)
    8. Cast No Shadow (3.5 stars)
    9. She's Electric (3 stars)
    10. Hey Now! (3 stars)

    Just like some Pearl Jam fans like to ask, "What about the b-sides?" Will you be considering them upon a review of The Masterplan compilation? Surely you'll have to squeeze songs like "Whatever" and "Round Are Way" when covering that one!

    You know that the version on Familiar to Millions is a Kiss-Alive esque blend of two versions? One or two lines of the lyrics is lifted from another show.

    BE HERE NOW (1997). Noel hates it. Liam loves it. I’m more leaning towards Liam. Might be bloated. But bloated doesn’t have to be bad. Be Here Now, Stand by Me and D’You Know What I Mean are the standouts.

    I have no problem with "Frankenstein" tracks. I make them all the time with my Pearl Jam compilations.

    Definitely a step in the wrong direction when compared to the previous two albums but still solid.
    Song Rankings/Ratings:
    1. Stand By Me (5 stars) - love it!
    2. Don't Go Away (4.5 stars) - the SNL and Letterman performances are great
    3. I Hope, I Think, I Know (4 stars) - their most underrated song (even by you, SC!)
    4. My Big Mouth (3.5 stars) - a musical monster
    5. D'You Know What I Mean? (3.5 stars) - I quite like the "rethink."
    6. Be Here Know (3 stars) - Enjoyed seeing LG perform it a few years ago. A bit too long, however.
    7. It's Getting Better Man (2.5 stars) - another one that drag on despite the cool riff
    8. All Around The World (2.5 stars) - catchy but waaay too long
    9. Magic Pie (2.5 stars) - Noel? you too singing the long songs?
    10. The Girl In The Dirty Shirt (2 stars) - too quirky for me
    11. Fade In/Out (2 stars) - Nope (oh, and too long)
    I'm glad I don't have to consider the "Reprise."

    They should have included "Stay Young" on BHN. It's better than most of the included tracks.

    Just a fun thing about the song. No one was allowed to improvise lines on official release for Noel I guess :) Poor Liam.

    THE MASTERPLAN (1998). Uneaven compilation with a bunch of fillers. But no one can deny Acquiesce being one of Oasis best songs. And why isn’t Whatever on here?

    Acquiesce, Masterplan, Talk Tonight, Listen Up, Half The World Away, Stay Young are all Top 15 Oasis tracks. Plus theres 2-3 more on here that would make the top 25 (Underneath the sky, Its Good To Be Free, Rocking Chair). Plus it doesn't even have Round Our Way.

    Its basically assumed that DM, WTSMG and Masterplan are the best 3 oasis albums. Like most people who fuck with them think that.

    Agreed, Fade Away is a great tune too!

    No Step Out either, which is a blatant Stevie Wonder rip off, but still so good.

    Pretty surprising that fans didn't vote that one on the compilation, isn't it?

    I’m a huge fan of Masterplan, album and track.

    If we’re being real, The Masterplan is the best Oasis album IMO. I’d swap Going Nowhere for Round Are Way and it’s a 10.0 comp.

    I can't for my life see what you see in The Masterplan album... there's a lot of songs on there that just passes through without much of a hook at all.
