Listen "Champagne Supernova, Oasis and the Moment Before Everything Changed"
Episode Synopsis
The Oasis reunion is no longer a rumour, it’s happening. With shows already underway in Manchester, Cardiff and soon Dublin’s Croke Park, fans are once again screaming Champagne Supernova like no time has passed.In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, I revisit the song that captured Oasis on the edge of everything, before Be Here Now, before the implosion, before break-up and the 2025 reunion.I first heard it on a crackling 2FM broadcast in Waterford in 1996. Now, watching clips from the reunion flood social media, I feel the same way I did back then like the world cracked open for just a few minutes. This video explores why Champagne Supernova might be the most Oasis song Oasis ever made, all drift, ego, grandeur and aching beauty.00:00 Intro00:30 Noel Gallagher 01:39 Champagne Supernova IS Oasis?02:28 Memories of Oasis live in 199604:39 What Oasis meant then08:07 Oasis at their most Oasis09:44 Why is matters now16:25 Champagne Reunion17:40 What’s your favourite Oasis song? 18:58 Noel
