  • Oasis

    Lou Reed was right about journalists. I’ve enjoyed Brian’s interviews and general opinions before but the Oasis episode was just eye rolling and infuriating. Andy Greene is even more offensive and ill informed. Sensationalizing “NO ONE CARED ABOUT OASIS” over and over again is untrue. Liam sold out Knebworth in 2022 two nights in a row not to mention both brothers releasing a number of solo albums each. It just felt like a big ill informed party of garbage journalism that made Lou roll in his gr... more

  • Oasis, Bob Dylan

    Jesus, these guys represent everything wrong with “critics”. Having the audacity to say what Bob Dylan’s next tour should be, and what songs for him to play. And stadiums to hear Radiohead whine and make noises on various synths. Also, the VERY stereotypical American view of Oasis. Idiots.

  • Entertaining but audio clips poorly timed

    I left a review in 2020 and I’m leaving another because, why is your commercial editing still so bad!? The insertion of commercials is jarring.

    Also, I don’t want the Nashville episodes. Please make them a separate podcast.
