Noel Gallagher Thinks He's Colossal, It's Jersey Budd

A few months ago I posted on up and coming Leicester musician Jersey Budd who was inspired by his fathers love of Dylan, Springsteen, Lou Reed, Cat Stevens, Paul Weller, and also later captivated by Oasis, Jersey picked up a guitar as a teenager and taught himself to play.

The result is a collection of classically crafted songs, shaped by his peers, yet effortlessly his own; his unique voice, soul, and talent for a melody having led to Jersey being tipped as one to watch after only a handful of gigs, albeit supporting Kasabian, The Enemy, The Rifles and Hard Fi.

Jersey is currently recording his debut album in Leicester after the instant sell out of his debut single in August. His 2nd single is due out Jan 2008. Listen out for him and watch him grow.

Tipped for great future in the UK newspapers and music magazines at the turn of the year, is this is the year Jersey takes his place on the top of the UK music scene?

Noel Gallagher (OASIS) "Jersey is colossal and he's going to be huge next year."

Serge Pizzorno (KASABIAN) "Great voice and a great talent."

The Sun "A plumber by day, Jersey is set to kiss kitchen sinks goodbye with his gravelly tones and Dylanesque guitar. This boy is going to be as big as fellow Leicester lads Kasabian."

The Daily Star "Budd’s Bruce Springsteen vocals and guitar pop will be a winner in ’08."

NME "Jersey has KOKO eating out of his guitar hardened hands, storming through Oasis go honky tonk rollock rockers like Shotgun Times to nothing less than adulation"

Tom (THE ENEMY) "Jersey's got one of the best f##king voices I've ever heard"

Leicester Mercury "There are loads of male singer/songwriters out there at the moment, and there will be the inevitable comparisons with James Blunt, Paulo Nutini and James Morrison, but the truth is, he's nothing like them."

Top Ten Biggest Album Flops

Number 2: Oasis: Be Here Now (1997)

The unbelievably hyped follow-up to (What's The Story) Morning Glory was a monumental disappointment. Overblown and badly produced, music writer Jon Savage has commented that "it killed Britpop" while Noel Gallagher himself described Be Here Now as "... the sound of a bunch of guys, on coke, in the studio, not giving a f**k".

See the full top ten including U2,Bob Dylan, Guns N' Roses, Madonna, Robbie Williams and The Spice Girls here.

Music Legends Back Afflecks

The campaign to save Afflecks Palace has been backed by some of Britain's biggest music legends.

Members of Manchester supergroups Oasis, Happy Mondays, New Order and the Inspiral Carpets joined other prominent music figures and called on the whole city to stop the legendary northern quarter bazaar from closing its doors for the final time.

"It would be a total crime to let Afflecks close. The council and the other interested parties must get together urgently and do everything possible to save it," said Clint Boon from the Inspiral Carpets.

Clint, whose Inspiral Carpets are to play the Versus Cancer concert at the M.E.N. Arena next month, described Afflecks as 'one of the most important parts of the city's pop culture in the last 30 years'.

Former Oasis guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs said the three-storey building was used by all the great Manchester pop and rock legends as a meeting place and some even used to style themselves from clothes bought there.

"Afflecks has always been a great meeting place for musicians. We all used to hang around there just seeing who we could spot, listening to new music, having a coffee and checking out the noticeboards," he said.

"We used to buy stuff from there all the time too - me, Liam, Noel, Guigsy - we'd all buy trainers and bits and bobs from there. We once found a drummer for a band I was in by scouring the noticeboards at Afflecks too.

Hundreds are expected to gather outside the store from noon today for a Traders' Day of Action rally protesting at the potential closure of the famous emporium. There could even be a famous face or two among the protesters.

More On The Pete Mckee Oasis Prints And Posters

Today I received my live poster that was inspired by the legendary 1994 Brighton show, which saw Oasis supported by Ride and The La's and is by artist Pete Mckee.

The image is of an anorak-wearing music fan on a scooter ride in Brighton, it is of a very limited run of just 100 silk screen prints has been commissioned, each signed and numbered by the artist. Printed on Harlequin 340gsm white art board and measuring 45 x 64cm, prints cost £190 unframed or £250 framed.

The poster as I have is is also available for £25, and printed on 170 gsm graphic silk paper and measuring 60 x 80cm.

I have to say it is very impressive piece of art, the colour and the detail of the poster are quite simply superb. And in my opinion compared to the other pieces of artwork that have been sold on inet in the past, this is by far the best one to date and also the best value for money.

And I hope it's a start of a series of this fine prints, covering legendary performances from the band from previous years.

Pete who himself is a Oasis fan spoke to the Sheffield Telegraph a few weeks ago and said “As an Oasis fan, I can’t believe how lucky I am to have been involved in doing what I love for a band I love.”

If you would like to own one of these fine posters or prints visit www.oasisinet.com or via www.petemckee.com

English rock group Oasis is set to debut in Harmonix's Rock Band (PS2, PS3, X360) later this month, according to a now-edited page on Xbox.com.

Oasis V Blur The Rematch

Britpop rivals Oasis and Blur are set to go head to head again in a sensational telly special.

Beeb bosses are plotting a reunion clash between the two bands as part of a special episode of hit quiz show The Weakest Link.

More than a decade after their feud at the height of Britpop, telly chiefs are in talks with Gallagher brothers Liam, 35, and Noel, 40, and their old chart rivals Damon Albarn, 40, and Alex James, 39.

And they want to draft in a string of other top names for the pop music showdown.

Their hit-list includes Suede’s Brett Anderson, 40, Elastica’s Justine Frischmann, 38, Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker, 44, and Manic Street Preachers frontman James Dean Bradfield, 38.

It’s been over a decade since this lot have even been in the same room as each other A BBC source.

Also wanted are Shed Seven star Rick Witter, 35, and Gaz Coombes, 31, from Supergrass. A BBC source said the show was in the early planning stages, but added: “If we can pull this off it would be unbelievable.

“It’s been over a decade since this lot have even been in the same room as each other.

“To see them lined up next to one another with Queen of Mean Anne Robinson giving them stick would be amazing. It’s sure to ignite old rivalries, which would be TV gold.

“Noel admits he’s a Weakest Link fan.”

The Britpop war erupted in 1995, with Oasis releasing the single Roll With It and Blur issuing Country House on the same day.

Oasis: "We've Got Plenty Of Songs, We're Not Gonna Get Bored"

Oasis are keeping the exact details of their seventh studio album under wraps at present, but NME has gained a exclusive peek into their sessions at London's famous Abbey Road studios.

We also spoke to Noel Gallagher at Led Zepplin's o2 show last December and, although he didn't give too much away, he confirmed the album is finished and is currently being mixed. It seems it will be released in spring with a summer stadium tour likely to follow - but what will it sound like?

"We've been focusing on grooves more this time," the guitarist declared in October, also claiming that, lyrically, he's "been revisiting some of my more psychedelic trips as a younger man - because I remember them all, you see! and putting them to music."

This fits with the plan Noel told NME about last January, saying he wanted the record to be "absolutely colossal" and that he'd like it to feature "a 100-piece orchestra, choirs and all that stuff".

Among the many songs that could included are 'I Wanna Live In A Dream Machine', the track 'Stop The Clocks' (described by Noel as "the best thing I've ever written") and his brother's 'The Boy With The Blues', which the guitarist says could be "like a gospel track or something".

Liam Gallagher has been more forthcoming with details than his brother. Speaking in November, he explained: "All the songs are written, this record's gonna be f**kin' rockin'.

There's no acoustic on it, man. We rehearsed about 10 tunes before coming in. Three are mine. Some are Noel's, some are Gem Archer's, some are Andy Bell's.We're there for a long time, so we just keep picking 'em off the tree, man.

Some are sounding really f**kin' heavy, and then we're picking some out and you go, 'Well, that doesn't sit with that right,' So we just keep moving about. We've got plenty of songs. We're not going to get bored".

Special

"It is also the start of something special for us.

"We’ve created a campaign ‘Join the Line Up’ that centres around the Versus Cancer badge - basically, we’ve always been about loads of people getting together to make a stand and do something special, and this year we wanted everyone to be able to be a part of it."

Oasis, Coldplay, U2 Set For Giant 02 Arena Gigs This Summer?

Oasis could be set to play several giant gigs in London this summer.

The band, who are expected to release their seventh studio album this spring, are apparently in talks with London venue the O2 Arena.

According to the London Paper, the venue are speaking to the band’s management about a multiple date residency at the former Millennium Dome like those undertaken last year by Prince and Take That.

David Campbell, European Chief Executive of the venue’s promoters AEG, said Oasis were among his “dream bookings” with the O2 Arena also targeting the likes of Coldplay and U2 for shows during 2008.

Meanwhile the O2 Arena will host the Shockwaves NME Awards Big Gig, which sees Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party, Klaxons, The Cribs and this year’s Godlike Geniuses Manic Street Preachers sharing the bill on February 28 just after this year’s awards ceremony.
