I ended up here having suddenly, randomly developed the urge to get a critical take on Oasis’ “The Hindu Times” (go figure), and all the articles I’ve ended up on since then have been enjoyable. Being American, a lot of the physical music press, and even websites, tend to both A. Gloss over all but the biggest British groups, and B. Miss out on a lot of the social/musical/geographical context that so often informs what they were doing. Anyway, keep up the good work!
