Cause and Effect

Cause and Effect: Oasis (part two; Be Here Now)

Sat, Jul 26, 2025

Good Afternoon,

I am back with another episode of Cause & Effect that is exploring the legacy of Oasis.

Two months ago, I joined the program to cover their respective records, Definitely Maybe and What’s The Story (Morning Glory). You can check out the playlist for that episode here.

Today, I am diving back in to look into what might be their most confounding release, Be Here Now. What happens when a band seemingly dominates the world and they attempt to outdo themselves with a record fueled by ego and narcotics? Let’s find out.

Look below for the playlist!

Some fun appendix reads if you feel so inclined:

How Oasis shaped Militarie Gun, Momma, Dazy and more: “They’re the last great rock and roll band”
