D'You Know What I Mean? [single]

D'YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? (Creation)
with guest reviewers Gruff and Daf from Super Furry Animals
MB: Another month, another batch of no-hopers stagger into the Singles Bar touting their...hang on! Oasis! A new single! We thought they just got married for a living these days! But here it comes, seven minutes of anthemic guitar mayhem in a "Slide away" stylee, sent from the lager riot in Heaven to stamp on Kula Shaker's faces forever. "Just the same old pub rock", my arse.
Gruff: That's probably the most powerful thing they've done yet, sonically. And I like the title because it's one of those titles that should always have been a title for a song, but it never has been, at least I haven't heard it before. It's a good Oasis title.
Daf: It sounds a lot more fucked up than what they usuallly do. It's not so straighforward and ROCK! We're into that, like.
Gruff: It sounds like they've had a laugh, like. It's great because its Oasis, and it sounds like they've progressed a bit, made an effort instead of just churning it out. It's got a better groove than usual.
Daf: It's gonna be massive anyway, isn't it?
Gruff: Anything they release is gonna be massive, but it sounds like they've gone to more effort this time. I think the little bits at the end will help it, those squiggly bits.
