I'm Gonna Leave You - Button Up ft Justin Currie

Come Undone
———————--------
You can pull me under, you can hold me down
You can sit and wonder, I won’t make a sound
You break me down to pieces, watch me come undone
Put me back together, am I the only one?

There’s no explanation for all the things I say
They’re said before I know it, it’s always been that way
Don’t you give a reason, it’s all part of the fun
To see me come undone

You make it look easy, to talk about yourself
No third person paranoia, no mentions of regrets
I want to know your secrets, how you pass your days
How you learned to live, how you learned to care

There’s something wrong, there’s something wrong


Come Undone (ft Justin Currie)

For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali spoke to writer and musician Andy Bollen about his latest book Definitely Maybe: The Birth, Death and Resurrection of Oasis, a timely publication - out now with Polygon Books.

Although this book is ostensibly about the band, it's actually part-memoir concerning Andy's life in and around music, as well as an overview of British, and particularly Scottish, culture in the '90s.

The two talk about public perceptions of Oasis, their own initial thoughts, the pros and cons of Britpop, the changing face of indie, the lost art of A&R, their own musical memories across that decade, and much, much more.

At the heart of this story is the infamous night at Glasgow venue King Tut's Wah Wah Hut - 31st May 1993 - where, to over simplify hugely, Oasis were spotted by Creation Records' Alan McGee.

It's one of those occasions where if everyone who said they were there actually was it would have broken the laws of physics, and a number of myths and legends have been told over the years as a result. To capture that sense of uncertainty there are five separate chapters dealing with that evening giving various points of view (think Rashomon, classic film fans) and Andy (who was definitely there) talks about the reasons for this, and his attempt to get to some form of truth.

This is a warm and engaging conversation about a time in popular culture which was in part shaped by Oasis and the hype around them, but which acknowledges and celebrates the fact that there was so much more going on. It's also touches on the nature of storytelling itself. Whether you were there or not this is a podcast you'll be sure to enjoy.
