Amy Winehouse Won't Live Forever

Amy Winehouse will soon be dead, according to Noel Gallagher.

The Oasis guitarist has a number of songs left over from sessions for the band's new album 'Dig Out Your Soul' which he thinks Amy, 25, would be perfect for, but believes her rampant drug use will kill her soon.

He told NME magazine: "I've got a backlog of 30-odd songs just sitting there. I don't know what the f**k I'm going to do with them all.

"Could I give them to someone else to sing? Well, there's a few that sound like girls could sing them, but who?

"F**king Amy Winehouse? She'll be dead before I write another one."

However, the 41-year-old musician thinks Welsh songstress Duffy would be a good match for some of his music.

He said: "That Duffy's alright. I could imagine her singing a few of the tracks. But I might put them forward for a film, although I don't want them to end up in any romantic comedies."

'Dig Out Your Soul', which includes single 'The Shock of the Lightning', is released on October 6.

Oasis, Radiohead, Garbage, Bloc Party, And More Give 'Listen' Help.

Some of the most recognizable names in indie and alternative music have donated new, unreleased, live and remixed songs for the benefit compilation, Give. Listen. Help. Volume 5, a double CD created in support of the Pablove Foundation. This charity has been established in honor of Pablo Castelaz, the 5-year-old son of Dangerbird Records' co-founder Jeff Castelaz and his wife Jo Ann Thrailkill, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment.

The album will be sold at all Urban Outfitters locations beginning Wednesday, October 15 until January 31, 2009, and is comprised of more than 25 tracks, featuring Radiohead, Oasis, Jack Johnson, Garbage, Bloc Party, Rilo Kiley, CSS and many others on disc one, while Dangerbird's tight-knit family, including Silversun Pickups, The Dears, Sea Wolf and Darker My Love, have rallied for the cause on disc two.

On May 17, 2008, Pablo, the effervescent, boisterous preschooler, was diagnosed with bilateral Wilms' Tumor, a rare form of children's cancer that strikes less than 500 American kids a year. The cancer appeared out of nowhere. In the past month, Pablo has endured four surgeries in merely sixteen days, resulting with the removal of his right kidney and a third of his left kidney. He is currently on a nine-month chemotherapy regimen and an 11-day radiation treatment, equating to months in and out of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), and countless hours in the oncology clinic.

Over these past few grueling months Castelaz, Jo Ann and Pablo's older brother Grady have experienced the love and dedication from doctors, researchers, administrators and legions of volunteers they've encountered and so in turn, they want to give back. Every penny raised through the Pablove Foundation will go to CHLA, specifically directed toward play rooms, cancer research at the CHLA Saban Research Institute and to the new hospital set to open in 2009. Each year, CHLA treats over 93,000 children who need care that is so complex, it can only be provided by medical experts at the highest level.

Every artist on these two discs has made a choice to participate, and to donate the usual fees and royalties to the Pablove Foundation. Kicking off with a previously unreleased track by Garbage (they completed this song especially for Pablo), the album is crammed with rarities from a who's who of alternative music all-stars. Disc two proudly displays Castelaz's other passion, his label Dangerbird Records which he co-founded with Peter Walker, with rare and unreleased tracks from his beloved musical family - most of whom have watched Pablo grow up.

Although Pablo's form of Wilms' Tumor is the toughest, most rare kind, his treatment is advancing well. His progress has been chronicled on PABLOg, a blog fueled by Castelaz's daily newfound trials and tribulations, eloquently written with an equal dose of humility and humor.

Liam Gallagher: I'm A Lazy Dad

Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has told how his kids nag at him for lounging around the house doing nothing.

Liam, 35, said Lennon, eight, Gene, seven and Molly, ten, tell him off when they stay with him.

The singer, who claims his wilder days are behind him, said: �My kids are getting to the age where they’re like, ‘how come you get to lie in bed all day and I’ve got to go to school?’�

Noel Gallagher Is Skeptical About Brother Liam's Lennon Love

Noel Gallagher refuses to share brother Liam's devotion to all things John Lennon, insisting the Oasis frontman's romantic notions about the late Beatles star are ridiculous.

Liam Gallagher claims he has been touched by Lennon's spirit and insists working at the Fab Four's Abbey Road studio home in London is a magical experience - two things his older brother fails to understand.

Noel tells Spin magazine, "He told me he thought a cold chill had touched him in (Lennon's widow) Yoko's apartment. I put it to him it was the f**king air-conditioning. Yoko's getting on a bit now; she probably has it set on minus 16.

"Liam is very romantic about all that. I'm more skeptical. He thinks recording in Abbey Road is special because of the Beatles. I think it's a studio with s**t gear in it. We had to bring all our own, for f**k's sake."

But the older Gallagher admits he's not completely surprised by his brother's Lennon devotion - he once bought a rug that used to be in John Lennon's house in Weybridge, England: "I've got no idea where it is now."

Noel Gallagher On Recording Be Here Now And More

GALLAGHER REGRETS RECORDING BE HERE NOW IN PARADISE

Noel Gallagher regrets jetting off to write much-criticised Oasis album Be Here Now with celebrity pals Johnny Depp, Sir Mick Jagger and Kate Moss - because he came back with a dud.

The rocker decided to write and record the demo for the album on the Caribbean island of Mustique, while hanging out with his superstar pals - but he admits it was a big mistake.

He tells the new issue of America's Spin magazine, "I was doing it for the wrong reasons. And that’s how you get a situation where at the beginning of (Be Here Now single) D’You Know What I Mean? there’s no music for the first minute. It’s the sound of an airplane landing.

"Of course, we thought it was the most amazing thing we’d ever recorded. We took the tapes back to Sony in London, and you’ve got all the suits sitting round the boardroom stereo thinking, 'These f**king jokers are riding on the biggest expectations of any band this decade, and they have recorded a plane landing.'"

GALLAGHER WROTE FIRST THREE OASIS ALBUM ON DRUGS

Oasis star Noel Gallagher has revealed the band's first three albums were all written while he under the influence of hard drugs.

The rocker admits he penned classics like Wonderwall, Supersonic and Live Forever after snorting cocaine.

He tells the upcoming issue of Spin magazine, "Before 1997, I hadn’t written a song without the aid of the old Colombian marching gear (cocaine). Don’t forget, I was on drugs before I was even in a band. The whole of the first three albums were written on drugs.

"I remember being off my nut and going into the back room and setting the goal of writing a song in 10 minutes - that was Supersonic.
"All those albums and all the B-sides were written on drugs. That’s why they’re so good. And that p**ses me off.

"I think, 'Maybe I should get back into taking drugs, and then it would be brilliant again.' But that thought lasts less than a second.”

Oasis' Noel Gallagher Wants To Write The Next 'James Bond' Theme

Read a free extract from NME's exclusive cover story

Noel Gallagher has told NME that he's got more spare songs than he knows what to do with, and would like some of them to be used as the next James Bond theme.

Oasis speak about their new album 'Dig Out Your Soul', knife crime and what they'd do if they were Mayor of London, in an exclusive cover story in this week's NME.

Now check out an exclusive free extract from the interview on NME.COM, then get your copy on UK newsstands now.


....The songs are coming quickly, with three of Noel's - 'The Shock Of The Lightning', 'Falling Down' and another newie 'Come On, It's Alright' - being written in a matter of days. In fact, he's now got "a backlog of thirty-odd songs, just sitting there".

"I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do with them all," he sighs. "Could I give them to someone else to sing? Well, there's a few that sound like girls could sing them, you know? But who? Fucking Amy Winehouse? She'll be dead before I write another one. That Duffy's alright. I might do them for a film, but I don't want them to be stuck in divvy romantic comedies."

How about a Bond theme? Jack White's just done one.

"It's a bit of a piss-take that the greatest British agent of all time has to be soundtracked by a bunch of fucking Americans. But yep, I've written a couple of Bond theme tunes."

Really? What are they called?

"Er, they haven't got very Bond-esque titles, so I would have to tailor the title accordingly. The latest one that I wrote, I listened back to it thinking, 'fucking hell man! That'd make a fucking great Bond theme'. But it's called 'Freaky Teeth'. Now, unless there's a James Bond film that comes out in the next ten years that's very, very psychedelic..."

Or they could bring Jaws back...

"Yeah! I dunno, I would never write a song called 'A Different Way To Die' or 'Die Another Day', there's always something about death, isn't there?"

Maybe you could do 'Live Forever'.

"I could, but I'd have to re-record it. Getting back to the point, I have no idea what I'll do with these songs."...

Look Out Gordon Brown, Noel Gallagher's After Your Job

Will Noel Gallagher stand as a candidate ever for the post of the British Prime Minister?

Noel Gallagher: That will happen - because the people want it, and I will clean this country, which does not last five years.

First I will solve the problem with the public suburban traffic and will stop then this centralism - London is a genuine heap of shitting.

I would send more policeman on the road, terms of imprisonment would intensify and the death penalty would return.

With deliberate murder there are then no more questions: If you were not condemned two times of a jury and it doubts about your debt give, you land on the chair.

Oasis' Liam Gallagher: 'I Always Let Noel Win Our Brotherly Disputes'

But he praises brother as well...

Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has said he always allows his brother, Noel, to win when the pair fall out with each other

In a new interview, Liam praised his brother's role in the band, conceding that the “18 hours a day” Noel puts into the group had been key to their success.

But he couldn't refrain from fuelling the brother's notoriously tempestuous relationship.

“He’s the man, you know what I mean? I’m quite happy with that, but then there are times when we’ll have a little argument or disagreement and he always wins. Well, I wouldn’t like to say he wins, but I let him kinda win,” Liam told NME.com.

“I take my foot off the gas and say, ‘Go on then, ’ave it, I’m going on holiday.’ He doesn’t fucking win outright, I just kinda let him win.”

Oasis release their new album 'Dig Out Your Soul' on October 6th.

As previously reported on Gigwise, they are scheduled to play an intimate show in support of the new record in Cornwall at the end of September.

Noel Gallagher: I'll Write A Sitcom

There have been some really classic British sitcoms written by true greats.

Terry & June, The Likely Lads, Only Fools And Horses, Fawlty Towers — the list goes on.

And when Noel Gallagher, the man who penned the theme tune to the brilliant Royle Family, retires from writing lyrics he’s going to turn his attention to rib-tickling sitcoms.

The Oasis axeman plans to team up with best pal Russell Brand to make shows for the small screen.

He said: “I’d like to be part of a team of scriptwriters. I think I’d be good. Russell has been trying to rope me into something but at the moment I can’t commit to anything outside Oasis. But, one day. Who knows?”

Now that’s something that would be well worth watching.

For those of you who can’t wait, on the right I’ve put them in the Royle Family, with Noel as Jim and Russell as Nana.

Bizarre Lord Noel knows his way around a withering put-down and shagger Russell is one of the finest comedy minds of his generation.

The combination of their wit works a treat on Russell’s Radio 2 show.

If they could transfer that to TV they would be laughing: And so would we.

Noel thinks their chemistry comes from their contrary characteristics.

He explained: “Russell’s a big posh Essex boy former junkie who’s been to the dark side and got into Hare Krishna. He’s never seen a council estate.

“I’m a gruff Northerner who drinks Red Stripe. He finds that fascinating. He’s all ‘But Noel darling, don’t you believe in a higher existence?’ and I’m like, ‘Not dressed in a sheet banging a tambourine, you big Jessie’.”

The pair have formed a mutual appreciation society.

It’s not just Noel pontificating on radio Russ, the comedian has revealed he’s basing his next big screen part on his hit-making chum.

Russell is reprising his role as singer Aldous Snow in the sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

He said: “In Get Him To The Greek, Aldous is now back on drugs. With him being awful rather than clean I can use my friendships with British rock stars more successfully.

“Noel Gallagher will be a much better resource.”

He’s also dedicating a slice of his next novel to the Manc.

He revealed: “It’ll have a bit on Noel, on politics, West Ham and maybe a bit on The Sun.”

But if the two are to work in tandem, Russell had better scrub up.

Noel reckons uncharitably: “When you get close to him you smell a mix of garlic, coffee and alcohol.”

A hygienically-challenged sex addict and a former rock star bickering.

That’s a recipe for a cracking sitcom.
