Oasis reveal more EP info -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oasis have revealed plans to release an EP in the summer. The lead track is likely to be the Liam-penned 'The Boy With The Blues'. The band plan to take most of 2006 off after a tour in support of 'Don't Believe The Truth', and plan to mark the event with the release of the EP. "Liam's got this tune that's left over from the sessions called 'The Boy With The Blues', which he got in a right fucking arse about and it could've been on the record," Noel told NME.COM." And I would like to - because we've got a month off in January, we've GOT ALL of January off- I'd like to go back into the studio to add a bit more to it." He added: "I'd like to put it out as a one-off single, 'cos if we spend January recording and mixing it, it could be out for the summer." Noel described the track as "catchy as fuck" and "a bit like Spiritualized." The guitarist went on to say: "There's not much of a chorus to speak of, which is why it didn't go on the album. [Producer] Dave Sardy was like, 'It needs a chorus,' but it's got this change at the end where the words go: 'Come all together/If we come all together/We'll come all together for you'. "The lyrics alone sound like it's 'Come Together' but it doesn't sound anything like that. But it's a bit like Spiritualized, y'know, when they do that gospel thing. The bulk of the song is only about three minutes long but the outro could go on forever, really." However, Noel admitted he hadn't spoken to Liam about going back into the studio. "I haven't spoken to Liam about this. This'll be the first he hears of it when he reads it now and he'll be like, 'What the fuck are you on about?'. I'd like to put it out as a one-off single, 'cos if we spend January recording and mixing it, it could be out for the summer." source: nme.com http://www.live4ever.us/newsroom.html

A Brit moody -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gallagher brothers fall out over who fronts Oasis at the Awards THOSE feuding Gallagher brothers have locked horns yet again - this time over who gets to sing at the 2006 Brit Awards. With less than six weeks to go to the hottest event in the musicbiz calendar, Noel and Liam have had one of their legendary bust-ups. Although Oasis have agreed to perform at the star-studded event at London's Earls Court on February 15, neither brother wants to let the other hog the spotlight. Our music industry mole tells us: "It's hilarious. They're both really keen to perform but they're at each others' throats over who gets to sing. "Noel is insisting on singing whatever song they choose to perform and then Liam kicked off because he said he doesn't want to stand at the back of the stage while Noel steals the limelight." At least one thing they are agreed on is a performance with the Modfather Paul Weller. "Oasis are in discussions to play with Paul Weller," continues our source. "He's receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Brits and the idea is they all jam together." Let's hope the Gallaghers' hissy fit doesn't ruin what promises to be the biggest night in the history of the Brits. Madonna is rumoured to be opening the show, which will also feature Coldplay live. And Take That, who set out on a sell-out reunion tour this spring, are in line to present a gong. source: Mirror http://www.live4ever.us/newsroom.html

David Grohl: " I love Oasis" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Foo Fighter praises Mancs after Noise And Confusion Dave Grohl has paid tribute to Oasis after sharing at stage with them earlier in the month. Foo Fighters joined the Manchester band at Noise And Confusion at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on December 10, and their frontman had nothing but praise for the Gallaghers. "I love Oasis. There's no way that you can't love them because they make such excellent fucking music," Grohl told NME.COM. "There are really very few bands that make it that difficult to hate them just by being so fucking good. I know in interviews they come over like touchy bastards or whatever but you can sit down with them in a bar and have a couple of drinks and you will have the night of your life. Grohl added: "I get on with anybody, but those guys are great. The last time I saw Noel he was walking through Covent Garden and he just tapped me on the shoulder and was like 'Alright, mate'. He was happy because he'd just got out of an interview. Their music is fucking good and their songs are fucking contagious. I just have a lot of respect for them." source: nme.com http://www.live4ever.us/newsroom.html

Oasis reveal Spiritual influence -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oasis guitarist Noel Gallager claims the band are set to record a new song inspired by influential space-rockers Spiritualized. Gallagher claims that 'The Boy With The Blues', which was penned by his brother Liam, is reminiscent of Jason Pierce's cult favourites and is likely to be the lead track on a new Oasis EP. In fact, Gallagher is so excited by the song, which was considered too obscure to appear on the band's last album 'Don't Believe The Truth', that he wants the band to give up some of their holiday time in January to go into the studio and record it. Speaking to the NME he said: "It's a bit like Spiritualized. It's driven by a piano and acoustic guitars." He added: "It's got a chant at the end. There's not much of a chorus to speak of which is why it didn't go on the album." The proposed EP could be released next summer. source: musicnews.virgin.net http://www.live4ever.us/newsroom.html

Noel on Brits , Liam's shorts and recording plans -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE BLAST NOEL OBVIOUSLY no one's told Noel Gallagher it's the season of goodwill to ALL men - even those on holiday! The Oasis rocker thinks Brits abroad are a "disgrace". He says: "OK, the British like to travel, but they don't have to carry a Union Jack with them. I'm embarrassed when I see Brits in Australia, they act so... English. "They have their tops off, wear flip-flops and shout at the tops of their voices." Then he turned his rant to Liam's habit of wearing shorts on stage: "A man his age - it's f******g out of order!" Not much chance of Noel mellowing in 2006, then. source: mirror.co.uk ---------- Oasis plan EP recording Noel Gallagher has revealed to the Daily Star that Oasis plan to spend January in the studio recording material for a new EP with a view to a summer release. Noel explained, “If we spend January recording and mixing it, it could be out for the summer”, he also added that brother Liam was unaware of his plans. Oasis are also nearing the end of their contract with Sony records which could mean a greatest hits record in 2006 should they fail to record a new studio album. http://www.live4ever.us/newsroom.html

Noel's rant of the year -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's the best of what pop and rock stars had to say to yours truly in 2005: 2005 RANT OF THE YEAR Noel Gallagher of Oasis wins the prize for best quote as he summed up Live 8 to the Sun's Jane Stevenson: "But I don't like the way that somebody suddenly decides that all the bands in England are going to fookin' play and everybody jumps to attention. "No, it's the general thing that rock stars should be doing something to fookin' sort this out. "The fate of the African continent does not fookin' depend on a load of fookin' musicians in Hyde Park singing fookin' shit songs to kids. And they're saying they're fookin' raising awareness for it. "If you're not aware of it by now, you can be aware of it for the half-hour. But I bet you that 99% of that audience will walk out while they're still eating McDonald's on the way home and won't realize that by actually standing in McDonald's you're perpetuating poverty in some way. "I think, more effective is taking out some of the fookin' government leaders in Africa and starting again, really. A crook is a crook right? Saddam Hussein sat on a load of oil, right? Look at (Zimbabwe president Robert) Mugabe, sat on a load of shit. So he gets to perpetuate evil against his people. "Team America -- the American army -- should be in Africa, shouldn't they? All the little puppets going around taking out African leaders. That would be my solution to it. Well, I mean if they really want to do good for the world. That's what I'd do. "I don't believe pop music, or Annie Lennox singing Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) is going to do anybody any favours, apart from Annie Lennox." source: jam.canoe.ca http://www.live4ever.us/newsroom.html
