Oasis confirm new album release Noel Gallagher claims it will be out in September May 18, 2008 www.nme.com/news/oasis/36696 Oasis have confirmed that their new album will be out in the autumn. Although no official date has been set for the release, Noel Gallagher told Russell Brand's Radio 2 show last night (May 17) that the band will be releasing their as-yet-untitled-album in September. The Oasis guitarist refused to be drawn on the exact date, claiming "his manager" would tell him off for messing up the launch by letting the date just slip out. As previously reported on NME.COM three songs reportedly from the new album were leaked online. Links to downloads of 'I Wanna Live A Dream (In My Record Machine)', 'Nothin On Me' and 'Stop The Clocks' appeared on messageboards, fansites and YouTube earlier this month. |

Oasis’s seventh studio album, Dig Out Your Soul, will be released on October 9. The record will be preceded by a single, The Shock Of The Lightning, on September 29.
Dig Out Your Soul sees Dave Sardy return to the producer’s chair following his work on their 2005 album, Don’t Believe The Truth. Recorded at Abbey Road and mixed in Los Angeles, all four members once again contribute tracks, but the recording marks a new approach for the band as described by the band’s principle songwriter, Noel Gallagher:
“I wanted to write music that had a groove; not songs that followed that traditional pattern of verse, chorus and middle eight. I wanted a sound that was more hypnotic; more driving. Songs that would draw you in, in a different way. Songs that you would maybe have to connect to - to feel.”

What we know so far:
Tunes - the shock of the lightning, bag it up, soldier on, I'm outta time. (allegedly): stop the clocks, get off your high horse (lady)
Noel's written 7, Liam 2, Andy 1 and Gem 1.
2 months to when I see them again, twice in 3 days. Gonna be a fun few months.

some more madchester stuff the roses play bbc and in the middle of made of stone there is a power cut. in fact, when the volume is turned up it automatically shuts down the speakers to protect everyone's hearing in the studio. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDRz3H30NmYamateurs! amateurs! |

Yeah, that's on the re-released Blackpool '89 DVD. Great stuff. Even though King Monkey looks like he's about 13.

they all look pretty cool. guess there's not much hope for a re-union though till they're in their 60's or something (in which case, chances are, one of them will have kicked the bucket). elephant stone (full length) www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKDPv3ZLDjI |

After having listened to the chemical brothers remix of 'falling down' approximately 800 times since friday, I'm not sure if I'm excited about this, or terrified. Both, I guess.

Creation Records' boss Alan McGee has spoken to Uncut about his time with the band, from signing them in the early 90s to becoming in his own words "the people's band."
However in an exclusive cover interview in the September issue of Uncut magazine McGee explains some confusion about who the Gallaghers were, writing them off as right-wingers. McGee says: "I didn't put the name Oasis together with Noel. I just thought 'Fascist.'
He adds: "My little Manchester mate, Debbie Turner, shared a practice space with this band that had a Union Jack on the wall. I remember looking at the Union Jack and asking, “Are they fascists?” and she said, “Yes.” She was taking the p**s, of course. She added, “They’re called Oasis.”
"It was a psychedelic Union Jack, sitting alongside pictures of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. But it was still a Union Jack – and back then, before the whole Cool Britannia bollocks, a Union Jack meant you had to be right-wing. I truly didn’t have a clue. I didn’t put the name Oasis together with Noel. I just thought, ‘Fascist.’"
To read the full interview with McGee, charting the inside story of working with Oasis, get the new issue of Uncut, on sale tomorrow (July 29).

in the 60s there wasn't the stigma of fascism about the union jack. it was buy british. swinging london. mod fashion.
during thatcher's period the union jack became a symbol of fascim. rock against racism and all that shit.
the fact that mcgee saw it in the thatcher context instead of what it really was - mod revival - shows what a thick bastard he was.

McGee has blundered his way through his entire career, which is spattered with gobbits of luck among a pool of rancid misjudment - Nick is right, the Union Jack thing proves he's an 80's bedsit gobshite with an originality-bypass and wouldn't know rock 'n' roll if it swam up his arse

Oasis' Noel Gallagher has revealed what his "definitive top 10" artists of all time are, posting a blog at the band's official site Oasisinet.com - and surprise! The Beatles top the list.
Gallagher, writing after a show in the US says the list is of the most siginificant bands in rock of all time, and he includes The Rolling Stones, The Who and Pink Floyd.
He writes: "This is the 1,000th time we've been here with this. It never gets any less interesting for me. For the record, THE DEFINITIVE Top 10 is this…"
He also says the list is purely made up of BANDS, saying: "This means the Top 10 bands of all time. No solo artists allowed. No female artists allowed. No collectives allowed (Public Enemy etc.)"
Noel G's full top 10 is:
1. The Beatles
2. The Rolling Stones
3. The Who
4. Sex Pistols
5. The Kinks
6. The La's
7. Pink Floyd
8. The Bee Gees
9. The Specials
10. (Peter Green's) Fleetwood Mac

couldn't comment on the las or the specials cos i don't know enough about them but the rest of the list is pretty solid. fleetwood mac with peter green recorded about 4 or 5 of the greatest singles ever and i'm sure noel is referring to the pre-disco bee gees who also wrote and recorded 4 or 5 great pop songs. throw in syd's singles and the first album and there are no other serious groups who wrote and recorded so many great songs. maybe the small faces should be there.
maybe slade should also be there cos they influenced a lot of the early oasis stuff. but slade aren't cool.
the weakness of the list is noel trying to be cool.
