Then and Now: Episode 14 Back from the Dead

Then and Now is back! Did you notice it was gone? You guys remember Oasis? Showed up sometime in the 90’s and thought they were the greatest thing since Frosted Flakes. In fact, if I remember correctly they either considered themselves the next Beattles, or better than the Beattles. Either way, it doesn’t impress me, I don’t really think the Beatles were all that. That’s right, I said it. All you Beattle fans can just suck it. Anyway, Oasis did have one song that was sorta catchy, Wonderwall. I picked this song not because I care about the original, but because this is another case in which the cover kick’s the original’s ass.

Wonderwall – Oasis

I don’t know much about Cat Power, other than both my little brother and Mr. Moon listen to her. And she’s got an awesome name. Mr. Moon says do not listen to her if you are feeling really blue, however, or you will throw yourself off the roof of a tall building. She’s that depressed. She should be happy, though. Her version of Wonderwall kicks the originals ass mightily. Check it out.
