Here's a great video from Oasis to promote their new greatest hits CD. The song is 'The Masterplan' and the video is inspired by those wonderful matchstick men paintings by L.S. Lowry. These paintings, in turn, inspired Status Quo to write 'Pictures of Matchstick Men'. Status Quo, in turn, helped inspire the sound of Oasis. And the cycle of life continues...
And here's one of Lowry's paintings; 'Coming Out of School' painted in 1927. More about him here.

That really is a geat video Simon. I love coming to your blog. It allows me to experience sounds and sites that I wouldn't come across otherwise.
My favorite song by Oasis. It reminds me of a lonely day in Australia, lying on a beach watching the seagulls and darkening skies, listening to my walkman.
I love the video - confirms to me that they really are one of the most creative bands of our time.
