L4E Oasis "Having a great time in LA" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oasis showed up in full force (no Zak) last night at the Troubodor to check out a show by the band Black Mountain. Also in attendance were Producer David Sardy and Black Crows singer Chris Robinson. L4E member Jilliam got a chance to chat with Noel and Liam who were both happy the way things were going with the new album. Here's some of Jilliam's email : Spoke with Liam for a while about the new album, sez its finished being recorded and our now giving it the "finishing touches" Its real melodic, he's writen a few songs for it, Liam on LDSMD is really THAT Liam. I talked to Liam about Radio Head and their selling tactics...JOKES, Liam sez he's gonna fuckin charge DOUBLE for his album!!!!! ........he did a fuckin spot on impersanation of that radio head twat, adapts accent "Oh I think our music is fablous, we want to give our music away for free. FUCK that!!! He fuckin died laughing. Said he's proud of the songs he's done for th album, "You know I've writing a lot of tunes man, and you know, not everyone gets to go on the album, but, their all fuckin quality! Mr. Gallagher was sporting black jeans, black slip on Vans, a striped black and white shirt and that same black leather jacket he's been snapped around town rocking. Sez the band are really avin' a great time in LA, "fuckin weathers nice".....Gem was sitting next to Liam the whole time was chattin with us. Andy was talking up a storm with some dude from Black Mountain. Great Night!

Here are some of the better ones... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecqiZn2DDFQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzZRfC8n1Cc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEWtTVaIH0M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAwi2J1J5GE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiMf5cCDy1I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwXbGc-t2qg

for those of you who forget, a free-market economy runs in cycles. the same economic downturn occured at the end of the clinton years and blossomed in the first couple of years of the bush years; this was magnified by 9/11. obama, mccain, ron paul, or britney spears will not be able to change the fact that the economy fluctuates. surely the president influences economic growth by implementing policies such as tax-cuts (which are a proven way of economic stimulus), but on the whole the president has very little say in the performance of the economy. the best way to prevent yourself from being the victim of recession years and high unemployment is to make yourself skilled enough to be immune from unemployment. make yourself invaluable to a certain industry/company so that you always have a job. a smart, driven person will seldom have to worry about a recession.

any brits watch the game? what did you think?

oh she's HOT. i'd plow through that!

ahem...if we are being technical, white is not a color, it is a shade. if we are not being technical, i am wasting my time writing this.

MUSIC: Upcoming albums 2008: 'Prospeckt' Submitted by on 01-30-08, 6:01 pm By Maria Hibbard "The greatest piece of music ever made." In an interview with The Washington Post, Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin set the stakes high for his band's fourth album, due out this May or June. The band's effervescent, "very heavy soft rock" sound, as described on their Web site, may have faded into the background since the release of "X&Y" in 2005, but the band promises to rocket back to the public's attention with the tentatively titled "Prospeckt." It's been 10 years since Coldplay, then known as Starfish, played their first gig at a bar in London, and somehow, in these 10 years, Coldplay has become every man's band, one that spans age and genre barriers - although they are apt to have teenage girls swooning over them more than 50-year-old men. Their gentle sound and somewhat uplifting lyrics radiate humanity and compassion, and even though it may seem tacky, their activism about free trade automatically shuffles them into a category with those bands you "should" like. If the buzz surrounding this fourth album is anything like "X&Y," everyone will admit to "liking" Coldplay to at least some degree. In 2005, my friends were playing "Clocks" on the piano, my teenage classmates and my aged teachers counted down the days to the next tour stop together, and my music history teacher sang "Don't Panic" in class. Chris Martin's shaky tenor appeases countless females with its suggestion of male sensitivity (gasp!), and the band's subtly dramatic, smooth instrumental accompaniment makes its sound unique. All the same, in the three years since its last release, the band has become the quintessential "feel good" band - a local radio station adopted "Fix You" as their theme song for their charity benefits. Somehow, Coldplay has secured its place in rock history, transcending traditional boundaries, and the expectations for this new album are high. In "Prospeckt," Coldplay's challenge will be to follow hits such as "Trouble" and "Yellow" with songs that resonate with just as many people. Martin promises satisfaction, at least in this area. In an interview with The Washington Post, he insisted this album will contain the "quintessential song that everybody should hear before they die." This song must be a small gem, however - the album caps out at 42 minutes. Martin also described to the Chicago Sun-Times that the album will be a "fast, dark and heavy affair," possibly "with no pianos." Although it may be hard to imagine Coldplay without its signature, cascading keyboard arpeggios, this album will reveal a slightly different sound for the band, for they spent time recording in Latin America and experimenting with Hispanic sounds. The specific songs featuring this are not yet known, possible tracks include "Mining on the Moon," "The Fall of Man" and "The Butterfly." The album is rumored to come out in May or June, but the band has not set a specific date - apparently, you cannot rush brilliance. In the words of Chris Martin, "I can't tell you about it, but it's basically genius." Coldplay promises to astound once again.

Chris Martin credits Travis with starting Coldplay. What does that tell you? I'm looking forward to Oasis' new album more so than Coldplays. The title of Coldplay's new album should be Moses with an Apple, and have his two kids on the album cover.

i bet she had a bad reaction to some broth...

collective soul - afterwords awesome album

I'm traveling to the UK, but a BritRail pass seems very expensive. How much could I expect to shell out to train from Edinburgh to London? Thanks guys.

no, i'm going with a girl from florida - strictly friends at this point.

where should I visit in Ireland after I have done Dublin, before heading into Edinburgh? also, what is the cheapest way to get around Ireland?

thanks to everyone for their help. i am truly grateful.

thank you so much.

thanks for the hostel information. i need as many hostel recommendations as possible. i heard the wombat in vienna is great. do i need to book hostel rooms in advance? it is not going to be peak travel season as I understand, but i dont want to be stranded without an affordable place to stay. thanks.

I live in Atlanta and I have decided to take a trip to Europe for six weeks! I fly into Dublin in the last week of September. I am going to hit dublin, belfast, glasgow, edinburgh, london, oxford, paris, brussels, amsterdam, berlin, prague, vienna, budapest, innsbruck, munich, berne, milan, venice, florence, san marino, rome, bologna, genoa, monaco, marseille, barcelona, valencia, madrid, lisbon and then back to dublin. Needless to say, I am pumped. Any tips on where to stay cheap, what to do, where to eat? Remember, cheap is the key! Thanks.

AWESOME

europe is being overrun by radical islam. it will be interesting to see if the citizens of the UK sit back and let it happen to them as well.

Oasis - Live Forever

Travis - The Boy With No Name So what do you think? I love it! Standouts are 3 Times and You Lose, Selfish Jean, Closer, Battleships, My Eyes, and Out in Space.
