I love how he always apologizes before playing this song, rather defensively insisting it is a good song, while subtly telling people to fuck off if they don't like it. Who else would proudly cover an Oasis song in the 90s? Only Elliott could play this so beautifully. (And I must confess, I liked Oasis, too). He was so loved. Wish he was still here with us.

Oasis was the most commercial band of the time, and represented “mainstream rock”, at the time. Elliott was mostly lo-fi while Oasis would include 250 guitar parts on one song. But regardless Elliott and Noel had a similar gift, and would’ve made the best, most Lennon-istic collaboration together.

He liked Oasis. Noel played bass with Cornershop at La Luna 01.22.98. I had the good fortune to meet Noel and Tjinder Singh right before the concert. Went up to the Balcony bar and Elliott overheard us discussing Noel. He asked us over to his table for us to tell him what Noel was 'like.' Already knew Elliott roundabout PDX, but it's bizarre to think about it now.

A great cover, and I love how both the song choice itself, and the fact that he feels the need to 'explain' it before the song and even during its intro, shows the gulf between the totally unpretentious, music-loving Elliott and his unfortunately often obnoxious, hipper-than-thou, uptight fan base

Jack Ruby You can call Oasis a shitload of things, but uptight is not one of them. They were bloody animals! And their music taste also very mainstream working-class (although Noel did love some oddball bands), not very hip at all. The Kill Rock Stars' crowd is what I mean by 'hip', I.E., if a record has sold over a certain a mount of copies, it must be shit, and it's only the undiscovered, unloved stuff that can be genius. But as far as 'obnoxious' goes, in terms of Oasis, you are spot on! : )

Yeah, if you read up on his background you would know that he HAD been heavily into drugs, alcohol, and psych medication. Just a few months before he died, he stopped all that instantaneously, which for anyone who is an addict knows, you are definitely NOT supposed to do. There are steps to stopping such addictions, and one the most important ones is to slowly ease off it to avoid serious withdrawal. That's probably what he was experiencing...

+Natalia Yeah, he really had a sort of pent-up resentment towards being an 'indie' icon and the whole Kill Rock Stars crowd, people who would not want to hear him give love to a mainstream group like Oasis. It'd come out in interviews occasionally, but mostly in person he was too gentle and polite so it'd end up coming out something more like "aw come on guys, no need to get upset, just chill, I understand why you might get upset, but don't..." etc, instead of just saying "Fuck off!" like he was thinking. Even in the Autumn De Wilde E.S. book, which features interviews with a lot of his hipster friends, they talk in a very confused manner about his love of certain mainstream bands, and try to explain it away that he must have been joking or something. One of the bands mentioned actually IS Oasis, and she tells a story about how he heard "Champagne Supernova" being played while he rode a tilt-a-whirl ride with this girl at a carnival, and was super excited, and she talks about how he must've just been in a 'silly' mood or 'drunk' to like such pedestrian music. Ugh. Sorry, long post!
