German FHM Magazine Review Of Dig Out Your Soul

The German version of FHM have given the new Oasis album five stars and is the album of the month.

Translated by Ballack

'There will be a completely new sound' Noel Gallagher said about the new album.

But in fact, the eleven tracks do not sound that different at all, because oasis are still oasis.

Big-mouthed and megalomaniac, and that´s how it should be.

The good thing about 'Dig Out Your Soul' is, that you're familiar with what's going on.

Noel writes the lyrics, brother Liam sings, straight Rock 'N' Roll.

The first single is called 'The Shock Of The Lightning'.

That one alongside with 'bag it UP' and 'falling down' is definitely the song with the biggest 'recognition value' (most catchy i guess).

The album was produced by Dave Sardy, an expert in working with difficult artists.

Instead of, working against each other, he made the band work as one team and thus deliver a good album.

Oasis found their soul, which they had lost to the 'drug devil'.

At last and about time too!

Oasis have hired buskers to debut some of their new tracks on the streets of New York.

The Manchester rockers announced they would unveil a handful of tracks from their forthcoming album by having street musicians perform them. The songs will be from their highly anticipated album Dig Out Your Soul, which is released in America on 7 October.

Yesterday, Oasis were scheduled to meet several buskers for a private rehearsal after which the street musicians were to take to different parts of the city to perform the new tracks "The Turning", "Bag It Up"', "(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady", and "The Shock Of The Lightning".

The event is a collaborative effort with New York's marketing and tourism organisation and the band's label Warner Bros. The street musicians will perform at locations including subway station platforms at Grand Central, Times Square, Penn Station and Astor Place.

Oasis recently embarked on a new world tour to promote their album but it was disrupted when Noel Gallagher was attacked by a man who invaded the stage midway through their headlining set at the V festival in Toronto. The assailant was wrestled to the floor by security. The band left the stage before later returning to finish their set.

Oasis have also teamed up with the Arts Council and the music magazine, NME, to encourage young people to pick up instruments. Instead of giving away downloads to promote their new album, as Coldplay have done, Oasis will give away a DVD and book featuring the sheet music and lyrics to three new songs with NME. The idea is aimed at promoting the Arts Council's "Take It Away" scheme, which provides interest-free loans for musical instruments.

Readers will be asked to reinterpret three songs without having heard them first. Noel Gallagher, the guitarist who has – in the past – argued that giving music away for nothing devalues it, said: "The gift of music is very special ... and anything that can bring music into a kid's life is an incredible thing."

Aspiring young musicians will be asked to submit their own versions of an Oasis song to a website, with the winning entry gaining the chance to travel to an Oasis gig anywhere in the world.

Earlier in the day Liam Gallagher and Andy Bell showed up at rehearsals to help the street musicians go over the new Oasis tunes . Watch them HERE

Hurt Noel Is Out For Three Weeks

Oasis are in a race against time to play their first UK gig after doctors ordered injured Noel Gallagher to rest for three weeks.

He is in bother after being attacked by a village idiot during the band’s set in Toronto on Sunday.

In his blog Noel apologised to fans then added: “Spent all day in bed suffering from my severe tickling at the hands of that drunken Canadian who, it transpires, is a grown man of 47 years!! (And I thought I was the oldest person at our gigs!)

“In his defence though, he’s probably having one of those mid-life crises things.

“Did get to watch four Seinfelds though. And some American football, so not too dissimilar to a normal day back home.

“Have to get another check-up tomorrow. I’m gonna ask for new bionic ribs.”

The band — due to hit the UK on September 27 — were forced to cancel last night’s gig in New York’s Terminal 5, but Noel assured fans they would return.

It didn’t stop the rest of the boys promoting their new album Dig Out Your Soul.

Yesterday they spent the day teaching four new songs to a group of street musicians who then went into the city to perform them on streets and in subway stations.

They’re good eggs, those boys.

Noel Gallagher Interview With Blender

Questions Submitted to Noel Gallagher by fans via Blender Magazine

Dude, Jay-Z did an Oasis song at the Glastonbury Festival this summer after you questioned whether he belonged there. Why don’t Oasis do a version of Jay-Z’s “99 Problems”?
Rosiyoung, Seattle

That’s ridiculous. What did I think of Jay-Z doing “Wonderwall”? It was pretty­ funny. But I’m not sure one should be seen in public with a white Stratocaster.

I’m an aesthetician and I have to wonder: Has a girlfriend ever tried to get you to tweeze your unibrow?
Tanman41, Oxford, MI

I don’t speak to my girlfriends. [Laughs.] No. My eyebrows are wild and free, man.

What was the last gift you gave your brother Liam?
Sweetnsalty, Pullman, WA

I bought him a necklace that John Lennon used to wear, but that was years ago. I’m very difficult to buy for, too. When my birthday comes round, I say to my girlfriend, “Let’s just go out and get drunk.”

What was the stupidest thing you bought when you became rich?
Now_im_64, Denver

I had built for me a customized 1967 Mark II Jaguar convertible at a cost of £110,000, and I haven’t got a driving license. It’s useless to me. I ordered this car and thought, By the time they build it, I will have passed my driving test. By the time I got a call saying they were delivering it, I’d forgotten all about it. Outside my house was this fucking £110,000 Jag. I couldn’t even remember ordering it.

How many pints can you handle before you’re on your knees?
Woody2oo4, Durham, U.K.

I can drink all fucking day and night and it doesn’t put a dent in me.

What are the most typically British things about you?
Landon, Keni, Berkshire, U.K.

My sense of humor and my sense of style. We might have shit teeth, but we’ve got better clothes and better music, and that’s the end of that.

What are the three things you do when you check into a hotel room?
Klapadam, Fordoche, LA

I phone home and see how my girlfriend and kids are, then I get in the shower and check out my surroundings. I love hotels. I love being in America when the football season’s on. I’m probably the only Englishman who understands the rules of American football. I was on acid one night when I was a teenager, and I just got it. It was a revelation. Never got baseball, though. Fuck that. It goes on for ­fucking hours.

I’m handing you a gun with four bullets. Do you take out Radiohead or do you take out Coldplay? Setfreesimon, Daytona Beach, FL

I’d take out neither. Chris Martin’s a friend of mine. And I think Radiohead’s guitarist, Jonny Greenwood, is a fucking genius. Every time I see them live they blow me away. But Radiohead are not as good as people think they are. They’ve been making the same record for the last five years, if you ask me.

Why can’t I ever find any good new rock bands? Every time I turn on the radio, it’s nothing but rap. What the fuck is happening?
Mph1978, Amsterdam, NY

There’s still a lot of good rock & roll: Black Mountain are incredible, Mando Diao, a band from North London called the Jim Jones Revue. Unfortunately, we live in the age of rap and R&B. Don’t listen to the radio, that’s my advice.

I’ve read that you and your brother don’t speak to your dad. What was the last straw that made you decide to end the relationship?
Athomepap, Anaheim, CA

He was a violent man, and violence toward my mother was the last straw. We were teenagers. It makes me fervently believe in the cosmic law of karma—little did he know that 15 years from that point, his two sons were going to be in one of the biggest fucking bands ever to come out of England. I sit and chuckle about that sometimes.

What will Amy Winehouse be doing in two years?
Whuddashamey, Munster, IN

Who gives a shit? People like that have got no pride in themselves. My message to her would be: Go make another record, or did the pressure of this one fry your little brain so you became a junkie? I don’t care for fuck-ups.

When will you finally make a solo album?
Pil, Nuuk, Greenland

I’d like for us to do separate projects after this record. We’d all have to agree on it, so it will probably never happen. I’ve got loads of new songs. Somewhat predictably, they’re all brilliant.

I was close to the front at your Arena Newcastle gig on the Don’t Believe the Truth tour. I had a sleeveless Nike vest on. You looked at me funny. Did the top make me look gay?
Marley_Urwin, Newcastle Upon Tyne, U.K.

I would have thought so, yeah. Sleeve­less tops are a no-no.

I read you held up a corner shop when you were a kid. What kind of weapon did you have? And what’s a corner shop?
Charleebitez, Janesville, MN

I didn’t “hold up” the corner shop. We don’t do weapons in England. A corner shop is just a grocery store on the corner. Two ladies ran it, and I think we robbed a load of cigarettes and sold them to buy drugs. [Looks guilty.] I got caught.

What’s the most important thing for me to remember if I get into a fight?
TimBoslyce, Richmond, VA

Make sure the other guy’s not carrying a knife. Do I still fight Liam? Yeah. The only way anyone will win is who dies first. When he’s 87 years old, if he dies before me, I’ll say, “See?”

How would your third album, Be Here Now, have turned out if you hadn’t discovered cocaine?
Nathanputtick, Melbourne, Australia

It would have been a lot shorter, and it would have had better lyrics. The royalties were coming in from Morning Glory—we were rich, and we went bananas, doing more drugs than any Colombian. Can I just point out that Be Here Now did sell 9.5 million copies? If any band sells 9.5 million albums this year, I’ll fucking shit in my trousers.

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Taken from Noel Gallagher's Tour Diary on www.oasisinet.com

We're traveling to NYC today. Wish we were arriving in different circumstances. The doc says it could take 3 weeks 'til I'm 100% again. Nothing they can give me either. Just gotta grit your teeth and bear it. This gig in NYC is not looking too good. We'll take it day-by-day (if that's alright with you?)

10 hours on the bus. Felt every fuckin' bump. That film Sid and Nancy was on TV. What a ludicrous piece of shit!! I have no doubt it probably launched the career of many a U.S. "punk" band.

Russell's caused a mild shit-storm over here at the MTV awards. There was a phone in on CNN and the title on the screen was: RUSSELL BRAND - BAD HAIR, BAD JOKE. I'd have pissed myself laughing if it didn't hurt so much. Some woman called in saying as an American she didn't like a British guy coming over here, insulting her commander-in-chief!! Very funny. But NOT funny at all. If Chris Rock, for example, says that kind of thing everybody laughs because they think they should, but if it's a man who's dressed up like a vampire's lamp-shade? Well? He was wasted on the shower of God-fearing, corporate hot-dogs anyway.

We've just arrived in the capitol of the world. I'm off to bed.

GD.

Bid To Win A Rare Signed Oasis Photo

Title: OASIS ABBEY ROAD 2007 ‘To Be Where There’s Life’
Special signed by Oasis Edition: first 4 prints signed by the band to be auctioned for charity
Media: Joiner ‘philm’ by Jill Furmanovsky
Total Edition: 20. Prints 1-4 signed by all 4 members of Oasis to be auctioned for charity.
This print: 2/20
Print size: A1 (59.4cm x 84cm or 23.4" x 33.1")
Framing: Signed print will be unframed.

This ‘joiner’ image by Jill Furmanovsky was made over a period of months in late 2007 while Oasis were recording “Dig Out Your Soul”. It was shot in Studio 2 at Abbey Road and shows the recording progress over the weeks. It has been christened a ‘PHILM’ by Jill because the image is more like a film than a photo. The owner will be able to spend hours looking in corners for details: Noel wheeling a pram (his son Donovan had just been born), Liam running a violin bow over his top lip, sleeping on the couch, and singing in a rigged up tent; producer Dave Sardy surveying the scene from the top of the famous Studio 2 staircase, Andy at the keyboards, Gem on bass and the ghostly of lyrics of 'To Be Where There's Life' floating by. As if that were not enough this is a very special edition of just 20 copies, the first 4 prints having been signed by all four members of the band in order to raise money for charity.

Thanks very much to Oasis for signing this print and deciding on a charity, in this case Noel’s chosen charity is the Teenage Cancer Trust who will receive 70% of all money raised by this auction.

Nowt down today, droogs. Spent all day in bed suffering from my severe tickling at the hands of that drunken Canadian who, it transpires, is a grown man of 47 years!! (And I thought I was the oldest person at our gigs!) In his defence though, he’s probably having one of those mid-life crises things. Apparently it’s on YouTube. Imagine doing an assault on world television!? Did get to watch 4 "Seinfeld"s though. And some American football, so not too dissimilar to a normal day back home. Have to get another check up tomorrow. I’m gonna ask for new bionic ribs.

Apologies for blowing out the show in London (that’s London in Canada). You can thank your comrade from Toronto for that. We will return though. Probably in December.

Anyway, gotta go. These painkillers are kicking in again.

Sadly, Oasis cannot perform in New York tomorrow night. However you can still see songs from their new album performed live.

Friday September 12th will see street musicians performing four new tracks from 'Dig Out Your Soul'. At various locations in the city, including Grand Central Station and Times Square, the songs 'Bag It Up', 'The Turning', '(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady' along with forthcoming single 'The Shock Of The Lightning' will be performed by acts ranging from 'Shred Violin' to 'Double Bass Rock'.

The event is being sponsored by the city of New York.

“We are excited that Oasis has chosen to not only launch their album in New York City, but also to enlist the help of our talented and diverse street musicians,” said George Fertitta, CEO, NYC & Company.

“Considering the fact that some of the most internationally-celebrated musical performers of this Century have had their start right here on our streets, there could not be a more fitting place for this to happen than New York City, and we encourage New Yorkers and visitors alike to take the opportunity to see these unreleased songs performed for the fist time on our City streets.”

The performances will be filmed by renowned music video directors The Malloys and produced by BBH. A full list of performers and locations can be found at www.nycvisit.com/oasis along with initial footage from the day which will be available to view from 6pm (EST).

The day of street performances ties in with the Oasis Songbook which goes live next Tuesday.

Oasis New York Show Cancelled Due To Noel's Injuries

As a result of the incident on Oasis' Canadian tour, when Noel was attacked by a stage invader Oasis are regrettably being forced to announce that tomorrow night's show at Terminal 5, New York cannot go ahead as planned.

Noel fell heavily on to his monitor speakers when he was pushed suddenly from behind by his attacker and suffered bruising to his ribs and hip. Unfortunately, he still has not recovered from his injuries and so he will not be able to perform tomorrow.

Glasvegas - Are We The New Oasis?

It's 1.01pm in the afternoon and Rab Allan, lead guitarist in band-of-the- moment Glasvegas, is in bed at home.

But far from it being an act of rock star behaviour after some crippling party session the night before, the affable axeman is cwtched up watching Loose Women and catching-up on some well-earned rest after a blitzkrieg of popularity that will likely climax with a number one album on Sunday.

“It’s been so busy lately that this is the first chance I have had to (relax) in months because if we aren’t on the road it’s constant promotion,” sighs the Glaswegian happily.

“But we are playing in Glasgow tonight so I don’t have to be there until 4pm.”

The Scottish four-piece have come from nowhere to enjoy massive critical praise with a sound that was expertly summed up by former Libertines man and self-confessed fan Carl Barat: “They’re like a ‘50s, happy-go-lucky doo-wop band whose mum died. It’s dark but brilliant.”

The story goes that Alan McGee, the man who discovered Oasis playing third on the bill at Glasgow venue King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in May 1993, succumbed to requests and went to watch Glasvegas, playing third on the bill at the same venue, last year.

He loved them and eventually blogged them into the public consciousness.

“It was surreal,” says Rab.

“I got into music because of Oasis and they are still one of my favourite bands. We knew all about Alan McGee so when he came to our gig and loved it... the biggest thing we took from that was a lot of confidence.”

Soon after the band won the 2008 NME Philip Hall Radar Award for most promising new band and that publication has championed them fiercely ever since. But the NME is far from alone.

The band, fronted by cousins James and Rab Allan, are making vulnerable rock music that is fairly unique on the current electro-obsessed scene, just as Oasis’ arrival broke lad rock into a mainstream overfed on dance music.

“People keep making comparisons between us and Oasis and I read a piece the other day asking are we the new Oasis. I don’t know about that,” he says hesitantly.

“We are making the only kind of music we know how and if that means we fit into that description then yes.”

In November of last year they were the subject of a record company bidding war that was won by Columbia but Rab says the band feels no pressure despite the hype surrounding them.

“We had been working really hard making the album for the last two years and not really had any money for alcohol or to eat,” says the guitarist whose last job was working in a cold storage warehouse, loading frozen meat into vans.

“So to go from that to people offering you crazy amounts of money was very strange.

“The pressure was when I didn’t know if I would have the bus fare to get to rehearsals.”

The band make just their second-ever visit to Wales a week on Monday and are looking forward to showing Cardiff what they have to offer after a less-than-perfect debut at The Admiral Big Weekend back in August.

I’ll have to stop this prophesising. I knew something was going to happen last night. I said I had a bad feeling, didn’t I!?

Someone, who can only be described as a “Canadian” was able to get onstage, somehow managed to evade our crack security team (Trotters Independent Security Service) and assaulted my mid-riff. Can’t say much more than that as the “perpetrator’s” gonna get the book thrown at him. Repeatedly. It was all going so well up until that point’n’all. Feel like I’ve had a sparring session with Ricky Hatton.

Still, we’ll probably get an extra couple of days in NYC. Every cloud, eh?
