Disgraceland is a production of Double Elvis.

Oasis, their beginnings as a band, their commitment to becoming the greatest rock and roll band

the world has ever seen, and the relationship between

Noel and Liam Gallagher is so complex that two episodes were needed to properly tell this story.

If you're just getting hip to this now, I suggest you hit pause and go back to Disgraceland,

episode 73, or part one of the Oasis story, where we discuss the influence of

Manchester, football, and house music on Noel Gallagher's songwriting, as well as a riotous

lunch in Munich, the band's breakthrough album and first trek across the pond to the United States.

In this episode, we get into the band's explosion of international fame with the release of their

second album and deeper into the rivalry between Noel and Liam and Liam Gallagher,

as well as the rivalry between Oasis and Blur, and of course, more drugs, more alcohol,

more British tabloid pressure, and more dysfunction and hilarity from the

Brothers Gallagher. We also, of course, get into the music oasis created, music that made fans

across the world, quote unquote, mad for it. Great music. Unlike that music I played for you

at the top of the show, that wasn't great music. That was a

preset loop from my Melotron called Big Bag of Charlie MK2. I played you that loop because I can't

afford the rights to Fantasy by Mariah Carey. And why would I play you that specific slice of

Tom Tom Genius cheese could I afford it?

Because that was the number one song in America on October 2nd, 1995.

And that was the day that Oasis' Second album, What's the Story Morning Glory, was released,

making them, for a time anyway, the biggest band on the planet.

A goal they set out to achieve back in their Manchester Council Flat days and that had come true a mere four years later.
