I dunno Jonah, probably the same reason other people like RHCP and Smashing Pumpkins. Makes me go
I'm sorry I didn't provide much depth to my Oasis comment. I was just surprised that it got at least double the points of any other album and song for last year.
I mean I wasn't some Pitchfork-style music snob when Oasis came out, I was only 14, and I immediately didn't like it on its surface... at least compared to Blur which I had discovered at around the same time. To each his own.
I hope that my Oasis comments don't remind people to ran k them even higher this year! I should probably just shut up about it.
Any Oasis song I should look up that might change my mind? The singles are incredibly irritating.

El Niño Gusano (“The Worm Kid”) were an anomaly amidst the Spanish indie-pop scene. While its peers sang in English they choose to sing in Spanish. Its musical influences included of course some indie-pop and lo-fi heroes like Teenage Fanclub or Pavement but its wider range included even Spanish pop 60s pioneers like Los Ángeles or Los Brincos. They created a unique universe inhabited by pelicans, big beetles and other strange creatures Tim Burton-style (worm kid, Captain fly, bulb-man), the world of four mocking grown-up kids. Its unexpected and humorous lyrics, its peculiar and disturbing album covers and its chaotic and irreverent musical arrangements were its main features.
“La mujer portuguesa” (“The Portuguese Woman”) opened its first album “Circo Luso” (“Portuguese Circus”), a self-produced album recorded in a granary-studio with spare resources. A peculiar lo-fi approach to pop and psychedelia that Pablo Gil perfectly described as “collages mistreated by a rowdy boy: too much paste, a zeal hanging, three clamps, …”. The references to childhood are significant. Pablo Gil in Rockdelux again: “El Niño Gusano played profusely with childhood images. (…) There were images of little toys, paper dolls, various animal characters that turned its records into sinister fables (or Jules Verne nightmares), quotations to games, merry-go-round tunes, ... And all that mixed with the intrusions of adult life, of the daily life, reminding us that all is imagination, that the truth is here, that someone pulls the stings of the puppets”.
LA MUJER PORTUGUESA
Composers and performers: EL NIÑO GUSANO
First release: 1995 (“Bernadutz” EP)
Length: 3’08”
La mujer portuguesa me absorbe con su paja,
al entrar en su vientre le ofrezco mi cabeza.
Al peluquero del cielo,
al sombrerero del cielo,
al camello del cielo.
La mujer portuguesa quiere tener bahía,
ella quiere bañarme y que mi piel caiga a tiras.
Un telescopio poned, en su cabeza a rosca poned,
para ver lo que no hay que ver, para ver lo que nadie vio.
Un telescopio poned, en su cabeza a rosca poned,
para ver lo que no hay que ver, para ver lo que nadie vio.
La mujer portuguesa en el tren de lavado,
en su carroza de fresa hay tres invitados.
Uno es el hombre galleta,
otro es la reina mofeta,
otro ella misma muy vieja.
La mujer portuguesa y su bigote de gato
hacen cosquillas a un mono que viste trajes muy caros.
Un telescopio poned, en su cabeza a rosca poned,
para ver lo que no hay que ver, para ver lo que nadie vio (x4).
THE PORTUGUESE WOMAN
The Portuguese woman absorbs me with her straw
When I enter her belly I offer my head
To the heaven’s hairdresser,
To the heaven’s milliner,
To the heaven’s pusher.
The Portuguese woman wants to have a bay,
She wants me to bath and my skin falls in pieces.
Put on a telescope, screw it to her head,
To see what no one must see, to see what nobody saw.
Put on a telescope, screw it to her head,
To see what no one must see, to see what nobody saw.
The Portuguese woman in the car wash,
There are three guests in her strawberry coach.
One is the cracker man,
Another is the skunk queen,
Another is an elderly herself.
The Portuguese woman and her cat whiskers
Tickles a monkey dressed with expensive suits.
Put on a telescope, screw it to her head,
To see what no one must see, to see what nobody saw. (x4)

Oh, Crum!
