It’s for anyone who ever sat on the floor with Definitely Maybe, Leisure, or The Stone Roses, thinking:

Now, with Oasis reunion gigs (finally) happening, it felt right to put this lineup together — 3 records that defined a generation...

When your audiobook ends up in the ears of your old schoolmate @jamieoliveroffical.bsky.social you know it’s doing the rounds in the right kind of kitchens.

“Three and a Half Minutes of Fame” is the story of chasing the dream — even if the dream only lasts the length of the perfect pop song.

@thatwouldbealex.bsky.social's book about making music and life in the 90s arrived today with lots of candy! Looking forward to getting into it and dragging up my own memories of early 90s gigs! Or at least, dragging up those bits I can remember. It's quite hazy now.

A copy of the book 'Three and a Half Minutes of Fame' by Alex Boucher on a wooden table, showing the two CDs, poster, and stickers it arrived with. The sun is casting some nice shadows across the picture. A cup of tea sits nearby, ready to kick start the day.
