On This Day In Oasis History...

"Who Feels Love?" is a song by British rock band Oasis, written by the band's lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. It became the second single to be released from the album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, peaking at number 4 in the UK charts when released on 17th of April 2000.

The album was noted for its psychedelic feel, and "Who Feels Love?" was held up as the most extreme example of this. Mark Stent was praised for his production on the song, creating a "trippy" feel like that found on Beatles songs such as "Rain". With the psychedelic and Eastern sound, the song also reminds of George Harrison achievements like "Within You Without You" and also some of his solo work.

However, despite the high-quality production, the song was not well received by the critics, NME said that the production "triumphs over any real sort of feeling... pure mock Maharishi spirituality that not even Liam can salvage from the realm of self-parody".

One of the B-sides is a cover of The Beatles' "Helter Skelter". It was played live during the Shoulders tour of 2000. Paul Weller recorded a version of b-side "One Way Road" for his covers-album Studio 150 in 2004. The Weller version was subsequently used as the theme tune to Jack Dee's sitcom Lead Balloon.

Liam Gallagher Interview From South Africa

Last week I got to briefly interview Liam Gallagher from Oasis at the Coca-Cola Zero Festival. I must admit I prepped for ages, reading interviews, quotes, watching videos etc just purely because I didn’t want to look like a total tosser when I interviewed him. He’s been in the industry for so long, been asked the same questions over and over again and so I tried to find the unique angles, questions that perhaps he hadn’t come across in the past.

Pub That Will Be An Oasis For Thirsty Pop Fans

What's the story, morning glory? A Burnage pub is being turned into a trendy tribute bar dedicated to local wild rock and roll band Oasis.

The Farmers Arms, closed since earlier this year, has been snapped up by a neighbouring Irish dynasty which will feature a lounge dedicated to bad boys Liam and Noel Gallagher – in the hope they may visit for a nice peaceful Sunday lunch.

Its new owners, the well-established Levenshulme Pub Company that already has a strong community anchor in Levenshulme, has promised a whole range of family entertainment, live screening of premier football matches and horse-racing – and exciting job opportunities.

LPC boss Lawrence Hennigan, 51, is already urging local talent with get up-and-go to contact him with ideas of how to run the pub and even put themselves forward to work there.

Lawrence, who began his family business with wife Kath 25 years ago, pledged he would be committed to providing a "good old fashioned" pub similar to those he currently owns and runs in Levenshulme, plus work opportunities at a time of high unemployment.

"During this economic downturn when a pub is being closed each day we are determined to buck the recession and are expanding into Burnage," he said.

"We are looking to repeat the successful blueprint of our community pubs in Levenshulme which are at the hub of the community in the area."

He added: "We were one of the first pub companies in Manchester to introduce the live screening of premiership matches through Sky and have always been at the forefront of promoting contemporary and traditional Irish culture in the city."

And in a bid to attract an exciting new team, he said: "We are seeking a young and ambitious management team with lots of energy and enthusiasm to drive the community pub forward.

"Good old fashioned community pubs still have an important part to play in society and we hope to keep that going in Burnage.

"It is important that companies do their bit in the recession in providing local employment for local people and that the local community then do their bit in supporting local businesses."

Lawrence said the Farmers Arms – a brick built pub with its own eighteenth century stables located on cobbles next to the listed St Margaret’s Church and close to St Bernard’s RC Church which is twinned with St Mary’s Parish Church in Levenshulme – would be turned into a family orientated establishment.

"The area has a massive Irish community second only to Levenshulme. The pub is in a lovely spot and close to two churches so we already know a lot of our potential customers.

"We want to turn it into a real community pub with pub sports such as darts and the live screening of horse-racing and football, just like our other bars in Levenshulme.

"Part of it will be devoted to the Irish community along with a special lounge dedicated to the local super group Oasis."

Entrepreneur Lawrence is already planning a massive Irish music weekend and Oasisfest to launch the venue which will be raising money for local charities.

Anyone interested in managing the pub or working there or with an idea or two should email Lawrence at info@levenshulme.com or ring him on 07771782104.

Noel Gallagher: 'Sharing Spliff With Mani Gave Me Faith In The Stone Roses'

Oasis man tells NME about his time in illegal Madchester club The Kitchen

Noel Gallagher has told NME how he once found himself partying with The Stone Roses bassist Mani at legendary Manchester squat-club The Kitchen.

Speaking to NME for this week's (April 18) cover feature, which celebrates the 20th anniversary of The Stone Roses' iconic debut album, Gallagher reminisced about what it was like living in Manchester in 1989, with The Stone Roses and the Madchester scene at its most potent.

Although The Hacienda is commonly acknowledged as being at the epicentre of the iconic scene, Gallagher explained that Hulme's Kitchen club was where the real fun was to be had.

"After The Hacienda we would go to the Kitchen parties in Hulme and we used to play the Roses' album on the journey every time," he said.

Situated in a police no-go zone on a notorious Hulme council estate, the dimly-lit Kitchen was made from three box flats that had been knocked into one space with pick axes.

"The Kitchen was this sort of homemade club that was pitch black inside," continued Gallagher, who also revealed that every now and then he'd bump into some of Manchester's most famous faces at the illegal parties.

"I remember one night I was passing a spliff to this guy all night and when the sun came up, I saw it was Mani and I thought, 'wow!' This guy, who was widely regarded as being in the biggest band in the country, was at an illegal house party at 7am dressing like me. That gave me so much faith in them [The Stone Roses]."

Gallagher also gives his opinion on The Stone Roses' classic debut album in the article, saying the 1989 release came out with "unbelievable timing".

You can read the full article on The Stone Roses, featuring the likes of Gallagher, Mani, Richard Ashcroft and Kaiser Chiefs' Nick Hodgson in this week's special 20th anniversary collectors' edition of NME, out now (April 15).

The magazine also features an exclusive replica of NME's legendary 1989 Stone Roses cover, which sees the band covered in paint (pictured above right). Both Liam Gallagher and Ashcroft selected the iconic Kevin Cummins' shot (originally dated November 18, 1989) as their favourite NME cover of all time.

TalkSport Confirms Russell Brand And Noel Gallagher Show

EDIT: I will find the correct time for this, as I have heard mixed reports of it being 9PM and TalkSport have not yet updated the schedule for Sunday.

TalkSport has confirmed that Russell Brand will make a return to radio with a new football show co-hosted with Noel Gallagher.

Brand, who quit BBC Radio 2 last October following the 'Sachsgate' scandal, will initially appear in a one-off show with Gallagher, entitled Brand and Gallagher, on Sunday 19 April from 9am-11am (UK).

The duo will tackle some of the biggest football stories of the season so far from both on and off the pitch, while adding their own irreverent twist to the latest team news, results and fixtures.

TalkSport programme director Moz Dee said: "TalkSport welcomes Russell back to radio. He's a unique talent who understands the medium brilliantly, and together with Noel Gallagher, it'll be a must listen. Both are proper football fans who just happen to be two of the most creative minds in popular culture."

Dee added that he hoped to secure the duo on a more regular basis.

Brand and Gallagher first struck up and on-air comradeship on Brand's award-winning Saturday Night Show on BBC Radio 2 in 2007, when Brand tracked down the Oasis guitarist by phone for almost every episode.

The show ran for over two years with each episode attracting around 300,000 listeners.

On This Day In Oasis History...

"The Hindu Times" is a song by English rock group Oasis, and was the first single to be released from their fifth album Heathen Chemistry on 15 April 2002. It was written by Noel Gallagher. Noel got the name "The Hindu Times" from a t-shirt he saw in a charity shop. The song was the band's sixth UK #1 single, staying on top for one week before being dislodged by the Sugababes' "Freak Like Me".

The title has little to do with the lyrics of the song, which are more in the vein of Definitely Maybe's "Rock 'n' Roll Star". It has been speculated that the title refers to the main riffs' similarity to Indian music in sound, sounding as if they were played on a sitar. Gallagher himself says that it is because he had already named the song before any lyrics were written for it.

The song, which combines the powerful fast rock of their earlier work with the psychedelic feel of their later work, was one of the first Oasis singles since (What's the Story) Morning Glory to receive almost unanimously positive reviews from the critics. However, some fans have criticised the song, stating that the main guitar riff was lifted from the Stereophonics song, "Same Size Feet", which was released in 1997 on their Word Gets Around album and uses the exact same, or at least very similar, guitar riff.

The song was unveiled during Oasis' Autumn 2001 Noise and Confusion Tour. The song was due to be released commercially at the same time but Noel decided the track needed more work done on it to be suitable for release.

The B-side, "Just Getting Older", was written at the time of the release of Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.

The demo version of The Hindu Times is radically different from the finished album version. Most of the lyrics (sung by Noel) are different, and the slower sound of the song is much more "grungy", with a heavy drum loop running throughout the song. It is also a semitone higher in the demo.

The "10 Minutes..." documentary is the first part of a unique feature covering 48 hours on the road with Oasis during the Tour of Brotherly Love which took place in the USA with the Black Crowes during May and June 2001

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Taken from Noel's Tour Diary for oasisinet.com

‘Eye oop. Made it to Cape Town. What a place! Far less shady than Jo'burg. Beautiful weather.

Real old-school hotel. Table Mountain is virtually outside my bedroom window. It's right THERE!! Amazing.

Great to see everyone from Team NG. Irie Nancy, The Mighty I and Ganga Wailer all present and correct and in good spirits.

Had a trip to Boulder Beach yesterday to see some penguins. Funny little fellas. Not my bag, you understand. It's all about the kids, see?

City lost again yesterday. Utter shite. I feel for the manager. Think he'll go in the summer. Hope not. But I think he will.

Not much else to report. I'm off to get some rays before tonight's gig. It's the last one before a 2 week break. Thank god.
