The Edge Studios, Toronto May 22, 2001 photo by Lisa Mark

The location was 102.1 The Edge’s Storefront Studio at 228 Yonge Street. Another Toronto landmark now lost to time, 102.1 The Edge was a magical place where music fans like me could go and actually meet our heroes. Having been an Oasis fan since 1996, opportunities like this to watch your musical idols interview and perform acoustic sets in such close quarters were absolutely priceless. On May 22, 2001, Oasis was in town on ’The Tour of Brotherly Love' to play The Molson Amphitheatre with The Black Crowes & Spacehog. Sitting there as a kid of 17, camera in-hand, quite literally looking up to Noel Gallagher himself in front of me. During a commercial break and in between signing autographs for fans, Noel looked at me, leaned back and posed for this photograph, cig in hand. Since then it’s been one of my favourite moments ever captured in all the years I’ve been a professional photographer, and Oasis fan.

Fast forward 17 years later to February 2018. I had the extreme luck to sit down and talk with Noel for a bit, and he kindly signed the first 2 of these limited edition prints. The first - 1/50 - is personalized to me and will be treasured forever in my home (Noel wrote - Yes Lisa!! Smoking? Those were the days!! Big <3, Noel Gallagher X). Print 2/50 (as seen here) to be sold at Analogue Gallery is beautifully inscribed ’Noel Gallagher X'. Noel loved hearing about how when I was a kid, Oasis photographer Jill Furmanovsky was my creative idol and was happy to sign this print knowing it would be sold at Analogue Gallery’s Sound Image 2018 show.

The best part about our meeting was when Noel sat down to really look at this print. I told him my favourite part of this image is how Toronto had recently made it illegal to smoke indoors, yet there he was smoking away. Nobody dared tell him to put it out at the studio. We laughed about it."

the thing that pisses me off the most about queer people being like “nooo remember all the anti queer legislation under trump?” (never stopped under biden BTW) is like… do you guys think that trump was just sunshine and peaches to muslim people?? like genuinely. trump did a MUSLIM BAN. some muslims could not even go to see their loved ones in the middle east bc of trump. they would also be making HUGE sacrifices if trump wins again. but guess fucking what. they have said they are not voting for biden in DROVES.

please stop invoking potential queer genocide when people are begging you to apply political pressure to stop an ongoing one. people have lost their entire fucking families.

learn some fucking solidarity.
