Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Taken from Noel's tour diary for oasisinet.com

Been in Sapporo for the last couple of days (did I mention that?). It's snowing. SNOWING! Thought we'd left the winter behind in Europe. Apparently not. Seems like we're being haunted by the cold on this tour.

Gig was good. Uneventful, but good. I say gig, they're more like concert performances over here. You can hear a pin drop between songs.

Played that song "Whatever" for the first time in.. what.. 12 years? Bizarrely enough it's our most famous song in Japan. The kids are always mithering for it. Dunno why I decided to play it last night. Guess it means I'll have to play it every night now.

Went out to watch the Liverpool-Aston Villa match after the concert last night. At an IRISH BAR!! They're everywhere. I bet there's one in Kabul. Liverpool won 5-0, as I remember. Every time they scored, the DJ in the bar played "You'll Never Walk Alone" by Gerry and the bloody Pacemakers. 5 times he played it!! 5 TIMES!! Good times though.

We're flying to Osaka today. Now, in fact.

Before I get off, tell me what you think of this.. There's been a fan following me around since I got here carrying a sign that says, in fluorescent lettering, NOEL OR DIE! Now given the fact that the Japanese have a certain way with the English, I'm still not quite sure what it means. NOEL OR DIE!??

In a bit. GD.

PS. As I'm sending this I'm watching some "human beat-box battle" on Japanese telly. Human beat-box? Human cunt-box, more like.

The Enemy's Tom Clarke Covers Blur And Oasis At Secret Manchester Gig

Frontman sips tea and munches on homemade cake at the show

The singer played a range of covers during his set, and you can watch his version of Oasis' 'Half The World Away' (interspersed with snippets of Inspiral Carpets' 'This Is How It Feels') by scrolling down now.

Playing Manchester's regular Saturday tea party at the TV21 venue, the free gig was a civilised affair with audience members offered homemade cakes and tea in China cups.

Hosted by Inspiral Carpets organist Clint Boon and his wife Charlie, the tiny room was filled to capacity for the short set that included tracks from The Enemy's debut album.

Featuring former singles 'We'll Live And Die In These Towns' and 'You're Not Alone', the short set also included a cover of Blur's 'Tender'.

Talking to NME.COM before the show, Clarke revealed why he and his bandmates decided to play their 'secret' tour of the UK recently.

"We get a massive buzz out of it, like when we first started out. When you're doing pub gigs and little things like this, it's just you, the mic and then the person in the front row and it's proper intimate," he explained.

"When you can see into someone's eyes when you're singing it's amazing. Although there is a lot to be said for massive venues, ultimately these types of gigs are what I get off on the most."

In Manchester to play two sold out nights at the Academy and accompanied by bandmate Andy Hopkins, the duo still found time to sign autographs for fans at TV21 – as well as sample some of Charlie Boon's homemade cakes. They then headed off to soundcheck at the Academy.

The Enemy played:

‘We’ll Live And Die In These Towns’
‘Tender’
‘You’re Not Alone’
‘Half The World Away/This Is How It Feels’

Arright'dare, la'.

That bullet train malarky was most enjoyable. The sight of Mount Fuji was, and indeed is, always amazing. Majestic, in fact. A bit like that new Kasabian album. But then I am biased.

Had a mooch round Shinjuku yesterday. What a day'n'all. The sun had his hat on, let me tell you.
Jet lag's a killer, man. Was well spaced out all day.

Bought a colossal jacket. For real. Can't work out how much it was though. I'm shit at maths. It was from Stone Island so I'd be amazed if it wasn't about 5 grand!!

I see City went through to the last 8 of the UEFA cup. With a whimper. Typical. At least we got there though. Shay Given, I will kiss you on the face if we win it - which is a ludicrous thought. Still..best start thinking of what to do if we actually get in the final.

Just done a round of interviews in which I was asked to explain what I thought has gone wrong with the global economy!! Apart from the fact that the global conspiracy theorists have seemingly been right all along, we managed to trace back the actual moment the storms clouds started to gather to when Franz Ferdinand won the Mercury Muzak Prize. THINK ABOUT IT.

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Taken from Noel's tour diary for oasisinet

Well, that gig was rubbish. Ring rust maybe (not that there's any rust round my ring, you understand!). Dunno. That's 3 shit gigs in a row for me now - if we're counting the Radio 1 / BBC stuff last week, which I am. This is worrying. No one else seems to be that concerned though, maybe it's just me, eh?

Not much happening after the gig. Everyone's a bit sleepy. Which is a joke 'cos you simply cannot sleep in this country. It's mental. No wonder they're always inventing gadgets. No-one ever sleeps. They've got to do SOMETHING.

Am currently on a bullet train speeding like shit off a stick into the future! Tokyo, to be exact. I love Tokyo. Great kids. Mad as custard.

Anyway..enough. I'm off.

Liam Gallagher: We're The Best Band In The World

The last time we spoke to Oasis, Liam Gallagher said he’d come up with a perfume called Mad Ferret if there was new line of work he could do. But some six months down the road, when we mentioned that to him, he thought we were mad.

In fact, don’t even suggest that there’s anything else he’d rather do than be in Oasis (even if you’re right and you’ve got the tape recording to prove it).

“Not interested in anything that’s not Oasis,” he said over the phone from London. “Oasis is my thing. I was born to be in Oasis. I was born to make Oasis the best. That’s what my goal is.”

Part of that goal is touring for their current hit album, Dig Out Your Soul. They have a scheduled stop in Singapore on April 5 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

The album — one of the best albums of last year, declared Britain’s NME magazine — has sold over 1.6 million copies worldwide since its release last October, and is the latest feather in the cap for a band that’s sold more than 50 million records and has had eight Number One singles in Britain.

“Them songs are amazing (sic),” said Gallagher, adding that he couldn’t wait to show off the new album to the audience here.

“I love the music. I love playing it. I love going around the world, seeing the fans and stuff. I can’t wait to get back there.”

You guys played Singapore about three years ago. Can you remember what that show was like?
You know what? I can never remember that far back. I imagine that it was a good show. At least I thought it was good. Er, was it any good?

I thought so. How’s the tour going so far?
It’s been going really good, we’re playing really well, I’m singing really well. I think we’re rockin’. If we’re all well and I haven’t got a sore throat or anything, then it’s all good as far as I’m concerned.

Have there been any Spinal Tap moments?
I mean, being in a band with your brother is Spinal Tap, full stop. It’s always Spinal Tap.

What can we expect this time?
Well, you’re going to see the best rock n’ roll band in the world, as far as I’m concerned. I mean, we’re not daft, we don’t jump around and get our socks off. We’re not like Guns N’ Roses. We know what we’re doing. (But) you want people to join in, don’t you, and feel good. That’s the kind of band we are.

We’re not a band of miserable arty-farty outfit. We want people to get in and have a lot of fun. It’s all good, mate.

Do you get bored singing the early stuff?
I like everything to do with Oasis. Otherwise I wouldn’t do it, know what I mean? No, I don’t get bored at all. I mean there’re days when you get bored — full stop. It’s got nothing to do with music. It’s to do with life in general.

So no more sex, drugs and rock n’ roll?
I dunno. What do you reckon? I’m definitely into the sex, and I’m definitely into the rock n’ roll, but the drugs, well ... I can do without.

Do you miss your kids while on the road?
Well, they do their thing and I do my thing, but I’ve found that after three weeks, I start getting a bit mental and I want to go home. When you get older, you start appreciating your family more. But this is what I do, this is my job. I’ve got to pay the bills.

You consider being in Oasis a job?
Of course, it is a job, but it’s the best job in the world.

What’s your philosophy?
Just don’t think about it.

Describe Oasis in less than 10 words.
The best band in the world.

As a performer...
(Interrupting) I don’t see myself as a performer. I’m not. Robbie Williams, Mick Jagger — they’re performers. I’m just a rock n’ roll singer. I sing songs and that’s the end of it.

What’ll you do when the music’s over?
It’s never going to be over. But who knows, mate? Hopefully, we’ll all be well. And keep producing great music. I’m never going to split this band up. I love it. I’m having such a good time.

Do you want to continue playing forever, like The Rolling Stones?
I don’t want to be like anyone. I want to be like Oasis. If we’re fit and keep writing good music, then that’s what I’m going to do till I die. Forget the Stones, who gives a s**t about the Stones?

All Aboard To Tour Your Local Oasis

Some Might Say it’s been a long time coming.

But finally a music tour honouring and exploring the history of Manc music stars Oasis has been launched.

For £10-a-head, fans can be guided around landmarks in the life of Burnage’s most famous sons, Liam and Noel Gallagher. Sights on the two-and-a-half-hour tour include where the brothers went to school, where they first rehearsed together as a band and the record shop where they bought singles from.

The bus tour was the masterplan of Inspiral Carpets drummer Craig Gill who already runs a series of Manchester Music bus and walking tours alongside music expert Phill Gatenby revealing famous locations in the history of bands including Joy Division and The Smiths.

But Craig is more qualified than most to wax lyrical about Oasis - as he knew Noel from the days when he was then just a budding musician who ended up becoming the Inspirals’ roadie after failing to win a place as the band’s new singer.

The band, originally called The Rain, even re-named themselves Oasis after seeing the name on a poster of Inspiral Carpets’ tour venues.

Craig explains: "I first met Noel when he came up to me in the Hacienda and told me he was a fan of the Inspirals and gave me a cassette of him playing acoustic guitar. He was still working for the gas board back then.

"When our singer left in 1988, we asked him to come for an audition but we were after something really specific, so to break it gently to him we asked him to come and be our roadie, but he became more or less the sixth member of the band. But then he joined up with his brother and formed Oasis."

Craig gave a sneak preview of the tour, which will launch on June 6 ahead of the band’s huge Heaton Park gigs, but is available for private bookings before then.

The tour will take in sites including Cranwell Drive in Burnage, where the Gallaghers grew up, Fog Lane Park where they used to play football and shot early videos.

It also includes perhaps the most famous fan landmark - Sifters Record Shop on Fog Lane Burnage - where the lads used to buy singles, and credited in Oasis’s 1994 song Shakermaker with: "Mister Sifter sold me songs, When I was just 16."

Shop owner Peter Howard says he still regularly gets Oasis fans from across the world wanting a picture with the famous "Mr Sifter".

He said: "I remember the Gallagher lads used to come in the shop quite regularly. I read that they apparently pinched some singles from here, but I don’t remember that myself.

"I still get fans coming in - only yesterday a group of Japanese fans came in for photos."

The tour bus also stops off at the former Boardwalk nightclub on Little Peter Street in the city centre - where the fledging Oasis would rehearse seven nights a week, and where now a blue plaque commemorates the venue with the words: "Madchester venue, nightclub and rehearsal rooms".

Craig said he’s been surprised by how much interest there has already been in the tour. He said: "I put up some details on our website about the Oasis tour ahead of their Heaton Park gigs and there have been enquiries from across the world. I guess if people are coming all this way to watch the band play, they are interested to see where the lads grew up, where they played football, where they bought their records from too."

Liam Gallagher, Fashion Designer: 'The Skinny Look Is Shit'

Liam Gallagher has posted a new video online explaining why he's started his Pretty Green clothing label.

Scroll down now to see Gallagher talking about what clothes mean to him, and why he hates the "skinny" look favoured by the likes of The Horrors and The Strokes.

In the video, which was posted on Prettygreen.com, the Oasis man says his disappointment in the current men's clothing market was one of the factors that lead him to start Pretty Green.

"I'm just doing it [launching the clothing range] because there's a lack of…the stuff I want. You can't really get it," he said. "I'm not gonna be putting anything out unless I'd wear it."

The singer also laid into what he called "the skinny look", saying he hopes Pretty Green will force a change in the style's popularity.

He ranted: "I'm not into the skinny look. These skinny things. That's what I'm here for, to fucking get rid of that shit. You know them shoes that just come at you like a fucking snooker cue?! It's like, leave it out man! You got a license for them bastards or what?!"

Gallagher can also be seen inspecting a pair of 'Pretty Green' shoes in the video, declaring them "fucking tasty".

The star joked at his Oasis bandmates would only get to wear the clothes "if they get their hands in their pockets".

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Taken from Noel's tour diary for oasisinet.com

Now then. How is everybody? Not that I give a shit, just being polite.

We're in Japan. I've got quite a soft spot for this mob. Who hasn't? Lovely little fellas, they are.

Got thrown out of a taxi this morning. At least I think I did. Hard to tell over here. There was shouting and pointing and then the international hand signal for "Get the fuck out of my cab, you western dog!"

Jet lag will put a downer on the gig tonight. I already can't be arsed. Nevermind. They've got Yorkshire tea bags on the rider which, let's face it, is all that matters to a 40 year old Northerner.

In a bit.
