Awesome Oasis

Mardi Gras might be over, but Jazz Fest is just around the corner. So there’s no better time to enjoy this New Orleans-style cover of the Oasis track Don’t Look Back in Anger, performed with aplomb by vocalist Robyn Adele Anderson, accompanied by musicians Ben Covello, Charlie Himel, Shareef Taher, Ben Golder-Novick, and Jacob Melsha.

Musician Alex Melton proves yet again that just about any song can be done in the style of Blink-182. His latest take on the pop-punk maestros imagines what the Oasis track Wonderwall might have sounded like if Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus created the song instead of Noel and Liam Gallagher.

Imagine for a moment that the Oasis hit Wonderwall was recorded in the 1980s, and the lead vocals were performed by Jimmy Somerville instead of Liam Gallagher. Deco did a great job mashing up the track with 1984’s Smalltown Boy. Their Spice Girls / Marvin Gaye combo is a good listen too.

Musician Mick Mazz loves to reinterpret tracks and imagine what they might have sounded like if they came out in a different decade. His arrangement of the Oasis hit Wonderwall perfectly reworks the 1995 pseudo-Beatles track as a synth-heavy ’80s pop ballad.

“I meant like Wonderwall from Oasis you know.” Professional musician Lucas Brar pokes fun at how people ask him what his real job is, along with one of the more popular requests he hears from party guests. His interpretation of the track really brought a smile to our faces.

Musician Seth Everman decided to test out a bunch of different sounds and beats that his Yamaha PSR-S670 synthesizer can make, all while only performing Oasis’ hit track Wonderwall. We enjoyed the bassed-up Russian techno version best. How about you?

(PG-13: Language) Notoriously snarky and egotistical musician Noel Gallagher surfs the internet, checking out social media, comments, and other content about himself and his former Oasis bandmates, and responds in kind in this delightful episode of GQ’s series Actually Me.

Slip inside the eye of your mind and listen to Postmodern Jukebox and vocalist Maiya Sykes as they transform the ironically titled Oasis track Don’t Look Back in Anger into a sultry New Orleans jazz ballad.

Remix masters Entyme vs. Party Ben perfectly melded Green Day’s Boulevard of Broken Dreams with Adele’s Hello, then tossed in a bit of Oasis and Aerosmith for good measure. Download this mashup and others here.

(NSFW: Language) “I don’t like the fact that the people who are making them think they are making f**king Apocalypse Now.” Oasis’ Noel Gallagher clearly is over it. This DVD commentary of their music videos is hilarious. He’s also our new hero.
