New Oasis Album Title And Artwork Revealed

TODAY I RECEIVED THIS EMAIL TO THE SITE, CLAIMING TO BE FROM SOMEONE AT THE NME. I THOUGHT I WOULD POST IT TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THE GARBAGE I GET SENT INTO THE SITE.

Hi my name is Michael and I'm currently doing work experience in London for the NME magazine.

I'm here for three months and my job involves making the tea, answering the phones and I have just been made in charge for the last month of my work experience of the weekly crossword.

Yesterday our cleaner in the office never turned up, so I was summoned to HQ to empty all the bins and generally clean the office by Jamie Fullerton as we have a very important guest in the office this week to announce the nominee for the 2008 NME Music Awards.

Whilst cleaning the office I noticed that Dele Fadele had left his computer on. So I opened it up and there was a interview done on Thursday with Noel for publication in next weeks magazine.

It reveals the album cover (attached)and name 'THE BEST THING SINCE ME' and also includes the dates for the forthcoming tour to be announced exclusively on NME.COM in the morning.

So I forwarded on the artwork to my personal email address to forward it on to you as I know the fans would love to see it now.

Please don't tell anyone about this email, as Dan Martin threatened all of us work experience people with the sack about things getting out.

Best wishes and I love the site

Michael

JUST TO SAY THANKS TO MICHAEL FOR GIVING ME SOMETHING FUNNY TO READ ON A SUNDAY MORNING.

Icke-An't Believe Noel Is Fan

Bizzarre Lord Noel Gallagher couldn’t be more different from workshy lump Robbie Williams.

But they share one thing in common - an admiration for crackpot preacher David Icke.

Earlier this week I revealed Robbie has been hanging out with Icke in LA and the pair have been discussing their shared interest in aliens.

But I nearly passed out when I heard Noel once went to a marathon seven-hour seminar to hear the former footie-goalie- turned-pundit talk about our political leaders being lizards.

Noel was snapped out with missus Sara Macdonald on Thursday night after a civilised ale with brother Liam at the Met Bar.

A source said: “Noel and a few pals went to Brixton Academy a few years back to see Icke.

"Noel’s a fan of his crackpot antics and wanted to hear him in the flesh explaining his oddball theories.

"He even got an invite back stage for a cup of tea. He had T-shirts made up for his pals with the Nike swoosh and the word ‘Icke’ on the front.”

I imagine Lord Noel will be burning his Icke books when he finds out he’s pals with Rob the nob.

Versus Cancer & Danny McNamara’s The Aftershow Join Forces

Aftershow at Moho this Friday, Danny has organised a mammoth night of live bands at the venue after next month’s Versus Cancer concert at the MEN Arena on 23 February. Tickets for the night go on sale this Friday 25th and are expected to sell out fast.

The night marks the first time that the concert after show has been opened up to the public. The line up for the night is set to include Dodgy, Boy Kill Boy, Example and The Paddingtons, with more acts and some very special guests to be announced in the coming weeks.

The gig will mark Dodgy’s first live performance in almost 10 years and follows the release of their live album in 2007. Famous for Britpop anthems ‘Staying out for the Summer’ and ‘Good Enough’, their appearance at the Aftershow will continue the reunion vibe that Versus Cancer has become famous for.

Having recently toured with Echo & The Bunnymen who treated the crowd to a legendary performance at last year’s Versus Cancer, acclaimed indie-rock talent Boy Kill Boy are a huge addition to the line up. Currently touring with Athlete, the band are set for a huge 2008 with their own headline tour coinciding with the release of their hugely anticipated second album ‘Stars and the Sea’.

Hailed by Radio 1’s Zane Low and Pete Tong and now signed to Mike Skinner’s label ‘The Beats’, Example is set to really get the crowd going. The appearance at the Aftershow comes ahead of his UK wide ‘I love Mandy’ tour which kicks of in March.

Indie band The Paddingtons mark the fourth addition to the bill. Having toured with Babyshambles, and been signed by Alan McGee – the band, who are currently recording their second album look set for continued success this year.

Danny McNamara the lead Singer with Embrace said, “ The Aftershow’s going from strength to strength this year moving to a Friday and to a great new venue in the centre of town. Being asked to do this one off Saturday for Versus Cancer is a massive honour. We want to do what we always do, which is to bring the public and the artists together and put on the best new bands before anyone else, with big headliners and one offs to bring the crowds. Me and all the other people I have working at The Aftershow are really looking forward to putting on the party of the year. But I advise people to buy early as tickets will sell out fast.”

Tickets for the Aftershow are £5 in advance and if there’s any space it will be £8 on the door on the night, with proceeds going towards fighting cancer. See www.theaftershow.net for more information

Blast From The Past...

Gem Archer's first band was The Edge. Started at Willington Parkside School in County Durham, they existed in varying incarnations of Jeff Walker, Gem’s high-spirited, best friend also on guitar, with a local doctor’s son Michael Chesters on drums.

Though Gem’s lyrics were strong enough, sadly his voice wasn’t, and so once at Durham New College he recruited a lead singer in the scream of Simon Scott, an eclectic performer a la mode of New York Dolls. Had anyone made it big back then, truly my bets would have been on Simon.

This band was very popular around the north-east in the early-mid 80s.I just happen to have copies of their two singles. The first records Gem ever recorded on.

Tonight's TV Choice

Pop! What Is It Good For? The 1990s

BBC4, 10.00pm (UK)

Pop was turned on its head in the Nineties by superstar DJs, samplers and Britpop. Here, music journalists Caitlin Moran and Paolo Hewitt and musician Goldie revel in the rise of hip hop, R’n’B and urban music with Moran also reminiscing about Kurt Cobain, and Hewitt recalling life on tour with Oasis.

Goldie, meanwhile, says he has yet to forgive Robbie Williams for pinching some of his shirts. The shock revelation among the panellists, however, is that one of them has a sneaking admiration for pop king Ricky Martin.

Liars On Oasis

Liars have gone through this decade's hype and destroy cycle and emerged victorious. Rather than return to the dance-punk party long after the keg had run dry, the band took the widely panned tribal sounds of sophomore release They Were Wrong So We Drowned (2004) and refined them toward the excellent Drum's Not Dead.

Now, with nothing to prove to the critical establishment and armed with the most easily accessible album of their career (Liars), the boys have hitched a ride on Interpol's massive stadium tour.

On the afternoon of that trek's New York City stop, the band's principle members -- Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill, and Julian Gross -- talked in their cluttered Midtown hotel room about bringing their uncompromising live show to a larger audience, the nerve-wracking personal revelations of Liars, and why Oasis wasn't really so bad.

Taken from a interview that you can read the interview in full here or watch a video of the boys talking about Oasis here.

How do you think that's gonna go? [Laughs.]
JG: I'm pretty excited about it. Yeah, "3 Days." I'm ready.

AH: But are you ready for the six-song acoustic EP? [Laughs.]

AA: I've been recently doing the Britpop thing, with Pulp's This Is Hardcore, Blur's Blur. You know, Oasis, man, they write good songs. [Laughs.] The lyrics are just so stupid. It's amazing.

So when people go back and try to find meaning in some of your older, more surreal lyrics, do you think --
AH: There's no connection to the Oasis story!

But is that even a worthy thing for them to do?
AA: It's a cool thing. I don't know if you know, but we never print our lyrics, and it's kind of an important part for us because we love this feedback that we get from kids. They'll write to us an say, "You know, I was wondering what "Mr. You're on Fire" says. Does it say, "House in the world," and all this really weird stuff, and I write back and say, “Yes, that's exactly what it says.” Because it's so well written.

This idea that they can be involved and think about it and develop their own ideas for what it is. So maybe when we use some surreal words or ways of using lyrics, it's really an attempt to allow people to have their own interpretation of it. To take it where they want to. With a literal song like "Protection," I guess I don’t know what it's like for a third party to hear it, but I wonder are you thinking, “Angus on the beach smoking a cigarette.” I don't know if it's so literal that you stop thinking that way. But with a more surreal song, when it's like "Wonderwall," it's like, “What?”

Noel Gallagher's Studio To Be Sold

Place where Oasis recorded 'Heathen Chemistry' up for grabs

The recording studio where Oasis recorded their ‘Heathen Chemistry’ album in 2002, is being sold.

Wheeler End Studio had been on long-term let to Noel Gallagher, who had invited friends such as The Coral and Ian Brown to record there.

The studio, located in Buckinghamshire, has also been used by the likes of George Harrison, Robbie Williams and Paul Weller.

The studio has a price tag of £3.9 million and the owner, Suzanne Lee, former wife of blues rocker Alvin Lee, is hoping a buyer will buy it to and continue to put it to recording use.

"After 27 years of running the studio, I am incredibly attached to Wheeler End, so selling it hasn’t been the easiest of decisions to make,” she said.

“But the time has come to move on. What I want more than anything else is to see it sold to someone who intends to carry on using it as a recording studio and to preserve its amazing heritage and atmosphere.”

Liam Gallagher Is BB Fan, Claims Appleton

Nicole Appleton has revealed that her boyfriend Liam Gallagher is a fan of Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack and regularly watches the programme.

"Liam wanted to come but he had to look after our son," declared Tuesday's celebrity hijacker. She then admitted that the Oasis frontman "is a big fan of the show and he is watching".

"No way!" boomed John. "Would he do Celebrity Big Brother?"

"Absolutely not," she replied.

Earlier, Nathan joked with the All Saints singer about becoming her 'toyboy'. He asked Appleton how old she was, to which she answered: "I'm not proud of my age. I'm 33 - I'm so not my age."

"I think 21 is the perfect toyboy age," Nathan quipped, referring to himself.

Oh Boy, Oasis Are Back

Details of the new Oasis album, which is currently being mixed in LA, have leaked.

According to a studio spy, the follow-up to Don't Believe The Truth opens with a Liam Gallagher-penned acoustic track 'Boy With The Blues', tipped to be the first single.

As promised the boys have gone seriously orchestral on the rest of the record, particularly on 'To Love' sung by 40 year-old Noel and two more efforts from Liam, 35 'Guess I'm Out Of Time' and 'Evil Eye'.

But the set highlight promises to be Noel's epic 'I Wanna Live In A Dream With My Record Machine', complete with three guitar solos.
