Article Abstract:

There has been a strong response to the release of a new album by Oasis, a United Kingdom popular music group. Music retailers in the UK are seeking to boost sales, which have been slow in summer 1997, with the new release, claimed by Oasis to be the band's most important work. Radio stations have had copies of the album rationed prior to Aug 18 1997. The album will be released the following Thursday. It is likely to reach the top of charts in the UK after three days.

Me, myself and I

Article Abstract:

The album 'How I Learned to Love the Bootboys' is an exorcism, according to songwriter Luke Haines. He feels that this album contains a certain element of himself and of the fact that he has now entered his 30s. The lyrics contain much of the iconography of the UK in the 1970s. Haines feels that the UK in the 1970s was a terrible place, but also feels very attracted to this era. He believes that this is why the album succeeds as a pop record but not as an artistic statement.
