    Is Beady Eye and High Flying Birds better than Oasis ?

    Is it me, or the seperate bands Beady Eye (led by Liam, plus the rest of Oasis) and High Flying Birds (with Noel), better than Oasis ? See, I could never get into Oasis, but I gave a try to the Beady Eye & High Flying birds albums, & oh boy am I impressed. Then I gave another try at Oasis...

    :stars4: "Life's going to be melted down, all over the world." (Helen, upon observing the red dust beyond the meadows of Howards End, approaching slowly but steadily) An absolute work of Art which focuses on the successful cosmopolitan types as represented by the Wilcoxs’ & the more...

    What are you listening to Right now?

    Beady Eye - Different Gear, Still Speeding... I like this album so much, that I felt I should give Oasis (whom I never got into) another try. Hence I gave their best of album, "stop the clocks", a spin. But I still cannot get into the Oasis, while Beady eye is pretty cool!!!

    July 2011: Virginia Woolf: Mrs. Dalloway

    snoberry ? While agreeing whole hearedly with what Beergood says, I couldn't help noticing the emphasis paid to snobbery albeit subtly for the first 90% of the book, and then Sally Seton's rather blunt allegation during her chat with Peter Walsh at Clarissa Dalloway's party. For Clarissa...

    Khaled Hosseini: The Kite Runner

    I like this book as a whole; other than the co-incidences that is, especially about the bully - kind of has a bollywood feel to it. However I like how Amir regrets his weaknesses.

    Paulo Coelho: The Alchemist

    I like this book for the sense of serenity that is born in one while reading it. It was a kind of a nice experience ( and I am an agnostic i.e. Buddhist). But it is not the kind of book that makes you a changed person as it sometimes subtly suggest.

    Gabriel García Márquez: Love In The Time Of Cholera

    so I am not alone about "Love in the time of Cholera". Though well written, it is sometimes long-winding & at the end of book I was left wondering what it was all about. Somehow or the other this book has postponed me from picking up hundred years, which is in my bookrack already for the last...
