Séamas O'Reilly: Return of Oasis evokes memories of nineties music snobbery

"And if I find Oasis’s ‘each-chord-begets-the-next’ melodies somewhat childish, I must concede they’re a good deal less childish than me carrying on a grudge I first founded in primary school, for very little reason, to impress precisely nobody."

Tickets for Oasis’s huge reunion shows went on sale this morning, including two shows (so far) for Croke Park next August. 

It’s likely you’re too late to buy them by now, since the clamour for this reunion, even before it had been fully confirmed, was palpable in every corner of the internet where photos of fur-lined parkas can be found.
