- Well, it¨s raining on me, so it´s making it very difficult to see anything at the moment, but apart from the weather, it´s nice in Norway. Norwegian people are nice. It´s very clean here! London is dirty! London is a dirty place! I mean, I love England, but it could do with a wash... Norway seems to be very CLEAN!
So, what can the fans expect from your show tonight?
- haha, they can expect NOT to see me! Because of the fog...
Haha, but what if the fog "magically" disappears?
- If the fog magically disappers, they can expect to find five cardboard cut-outs on stage, and a CD player!
Really?
- No, not really, hahah! I don´t know! Every concert that one does is different from the other, but I`m sure it will be great! And, I`m playing all my own songs. Songs that I wrote all by myself...Alone...In my bedroom, hehe
So, your fans know that you´re an EAGER football fan, and of course your heart is with Manchester City... One fan said that you got the chance to do an interview with Mario Balotelli once... She´s wondering how it was?
- It was great! It was a little bit challenging though. He doesn´t speak English very well, and I don´t spean any Italian, but he is F*cking GREAT! I F*cking LOVE him!...He plays "gangster football"!
Do you think he´ll stay in shape for Manchester City as well?

We talked to Noel Gallagher and Mischa Barton both about drugs, cars, police, why videos are boring, Oasis, why stylists are gay and what musical instrument Mischa Barton would be if she could transform herself into one.
Beady Eye will support the Stone Roses at the Heaton Park in Manchester UK today (June 30th).

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.
So . . . now then . . . yes comrades!!
I've been having so much fun that I've forgotten to send one of these things for ages. Sorry 'bout that but you know how it is (or maybe you don't?)!
Anyway let's see what I can remember eh? So, if my memory serves me correct I was in Stuttgart, in Germany, with a dirty little cold worrying over whether to pull the following night’s gig or not? Is that right? You tell me? I think so. Got dosed up on hot whiskey and Lemsip (the blackcurrant ones!) and sleeping tablets (to be taken responsibly young 'uns . . . just saying). Woke up the next afternoon in a very damp bed, freezing cold. It did the trick though. Felt well enough to get up and get down (so to speak!) and lo and behold the gig was fucking mega! The wiggers had done the trick!! Onwards to Hamburg feeling much better. Another day on the hot wiggers and Lemsip and ANOTHER top show! Who'd’ve thought? Not me that's for sure.
Think we had three gigs in a row which is unusual (for me anyway) and the next one was a big one . . . that Isle of Wight Festival. Reports on the news made it sound like some kind of recreation of a 1st World War battlefield. Now, I've never been to the Isle of Wight, so I was looking forward to it very much. Woke up in the New Forest and yes!!! The sun was out! It was actually sunny!! So much so that me and Nancy went for a lovely little middle-class walk amongst the flowers and the bushes and the trees and the horses . . . actually that might have been the day after . . . not sure, but I do remember walking amongst the flowers and the bushes and the trees and the horses.
You have to get a ferry to the Isle of Wight and I'll tell you something comrades, it was most pleasant. We even went up on deck and took photos . . . of what I'm not quite sure but photos were taken all the same. We had ANOTHER great show . . . the third great show in a row, which is unusual (for me anyway). This drinking whiskey malarkey is fucking MEGA!! Great crowd although some young 'uns did get a bit excited and lighted up a few flares and one did get lobbed on stage but no damage done and it added a bit of chaos to the proceedings which is no bad thing. That fella "the Boss" approved 'cause he was watching from the side of the stage and was laughing his little head off!!
So then we had a day off in the New Forest. The hangover wasn't too bad. More than manageable. Flew into the great city of Dublin that night for a gig the next day with them Red Hot Chilli Peppers and guess what? ANOTHER GREAT SHOW!!! That must be some kind of record? It must be. I can't ever remember doing 4 GREAT gigs in a row? Considering 5 days prior to that I was gonna call the doctor out for I sick-note, I'm pretty fucking impressed!!!
The singer from that band U2 came to see us with that fella Danger Mouse. It was great to see 'em. We had to leg it early though, back to London for an all too brief visit to see Bunny Dread and the Mighty I . . . that was yesterday . . . and today I'm in the very wet city of Oslo in Norway.
And that comrades . . . is that! You can consider yourself up to speed.
Demos of 'God Help Us All' and 'It Makes Me Wanna Cry' have appeared online
Two previously unreleased Noel Gallagher tracks have appeared online.
The songs, which are titled 'God Help Us All' and 'It Makes Me Wanna Cry', were recorded during a soundcheck from one of Gallagher's recent shows.
'God Help Us All', though unreleased, has existed for some time, with Gallagher previously telling NME that he planned to release that and another track titled 'Revolution Song' later this year.
He said of 'God Help Us All': "I'm going to finish that one as well. I have got little bits of songs knocking around that I have managed to finish off as I'm not in the band anymore. All in good time".

Noel Gallagher put on a storming show at the Isle of Wight festival on Sunday and he found time to celebrate his first wedding anniversary too.
The rocker, 45, and Sara MacDonald, his partner of 12 years, married at the Lime Wood Hotel in the New Forest, a short hop from the Isle of Wight, on June 18 last year.
And we hear that the couple, pictured above, who have two children, Donovan, four, and Sonny, 21 months, were spotted celebrating their anniversary at the Lime Wood on Monday.
“They were having lunch in the hotel’s Scullery Restaurant before taking a turn around the grounds and looking very loved up,” says our spy in the fluffy robe.

Noel Gallagher, David Beckham,and Damien Hirst are just some of the stars who have paid their own tributes to The Stone Roses as the reunited band prepare for the first of their massive homecoming Heaton Park concerts which will take place tomorrow (June 29th).
The Sun newspaper has apparently obtained a copy of the official programme which will be on sale to the thousands of fans preparing to descend on the Manchester venue during the weekend, and quotes David Beckham as writing: “The Stone Roses was part of my upbringing in Manchester. And being an East End boy, that’s saying something.”
“Their music has inspired so many people but for me it brings back memories of the most happiest time in my football career, when I started my career at Manchester United. The fact that they are back is incredible to see.”
Noel Gallagher, who has constantly cited the Roses as one of this chief inspirations, and Beckham’s former Manchester United team-mate Ryan Giggs are also said to have left their own tributes, while the artist Damien Hirst has allegedly described them as ‘more important than Picasso’.
