Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Taken from Noel's tour diary for oasisinet.com

It's all got a bit mad over here. This swine flu malarky is freaking people out. Landed at Crack'arse airport yesterday. All the ground staff are wearing those little white face masks! ALL OF THEM. It was like something out of another Stephen King novel. I suddenly feel quite naked without one.

Then if that wasn't bad enough my mam called me at that very moment and tells me to be "careful" or I WILL die of pig flu. I swear at that point I did a massive sneeze and the entire airport fell silent and started to stare!! I WANT A MASK!!!

Crack'arse, it must be said, is not the most glamourous of destinations, despite what we were led to believe as kids from that film "Gregory's Girl".

I currently have an armed guard outside my room! What does that say? Am I vulnerable to a robbery from room service? Anyway, could be worse, at least the sun's out and I have a balcony and it's 86*. Mind you, what about snipers (as Bobby Gillespie once said to me as we were getting pissed in my back garden)??

In a bit.

Liam Gallagher Looks Mad Fur It

Liam Gallagher looks very Miami Vice as he sets off on tour with Oasis.

The rocker looked like Don Johnson from the Eighties cop show as he teamed a cream suit with his favourite animal-print slippers.

But brother Noel was nowhere to be seen as the band left Heathrow for an eight-day tour of South America. He’d flown out earlier so as not to share cabin space with lippy Liam.

I reckon the possibility of swine flu is the least of their problems.

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Taken from Noel's tour diary for oasisinet.com

Yes, brothers and sisters. I trust things are well and all is good? Good.

Now.. that wasn't nearly enough time off for me. Didn't even really have a chance to get on Irie Nancy's tits! Caught up with Coronation St. though and I'm all up to speed with the football AND managed not to see a single second of that Britain's (not) Got (any) Talent. It's not allowed in our house. Weather was nice'n'all, eh? Was in London anyway.

Now, a frightening thing happened to me last week. I went into the HMV in Selfridges - I could spend 2 hours in there just looking at records - only to be told by one of the staff that they don't sell CDs anymore!! A fuckin' outrage.

"It's the future", said the kid.
"Fuck the future", said I.

IT. IS. THE. END. OF. THE. WORLD.

So what happens now then? Do I actually have to buy a bastard computer to buy music? Where is it all gonna end? In all serious though, it's very sad. I may have to move to Japan!

Q Magazine? Have you seen the pictures? Have they got it in for me, or summat? I mean, admittedly, I did say to the person responsible for such things on the day that I demanded to be air-brushed to within an inch of my life, a bit like the Lily Allen / Green Day covers etc. What I don't remember is asking to look like something from a Tenacious D. video!! I don't have grey/blue skin!!! Not anymore anyway.

Today I am mostly in Miami. Just stopping off on the way to Venezuela. Crack'arse, to be exact. Only away for 2 and a bit weeks and this bit of the tour is usually good fun. But I'm actually not looking forward to it. Weird, eh? Mind you, we are rehearsing different songs for the set-list at the UK gigs. I won't tell you which ones in case they don't work out. Should be at least 2-3 though. Hopefully 4-5. But probably only 1! Such is the level of commitment to these kind of things in certain quarters. We shall see.

In a bit.

GD.

Some Might Say Liam Gallagher Should Stick To Music

Would you let the Oasis singer, turned fashion designer, dress you, asks Joe O'Shea.

As an unlikely career change, Liam Gallagher, fashion designer must rank up there with Brian Cowen, pro snowboarder.

It's not just that the Oasis frontman has previously displayed a fashion sense as uninspiring and blokey as his dreary lad rock music.

We must also wonder how the serial snapper-basher, who has rarely met a cameraman he hasn't punched, would deal with all of those high-fashion photographers crowding around the runway of his first show.

But undeterred by his own long record of crimes against fashion (the parkas, the trainers, the Burberry check-shirts worn outside his jeans), Liam has now announced plans to launch his own designer label.

Details are, as yet, sketchy on the direction Gallagher's Pretty Green label will be taking.

But from what little Manchester's answer to Yves Saint Laurent has told us so far, we can guess that winkle pickers will not be featuring in his first collection.

Speaking about his new label, Liam said: "You know them shoes that just come at you like a fookin' snooker cue? It's like, 'leave it out man. You got a licence for them bastards or what?'"

Wise words indeed and seasoned fashionistas will probably spot the influence of Manolo Blahnik in Liam's musings on footwear. As to his motivation, the Oasis front man was forthright about the reasons why he is poised to unleash his creations on a waiting world. "Clothes and music are my passion," said Liam.

"I'm not here to rip anyone off and I'm not doing it for the money either. I'm doing it cuz there's a lack of stuff out there of the things I would wear."

Liam's style anguish might surprise those who had thought there was nothing out there that he wouldn't wear, as long as John Lennon, Paul Weller or his local bin man had worn it first.

The signature Gallagher style has always leaned heavily on blokey, laddish gear with the occasional nod to the Mod movement.

Jeans, trainers, Fred Perry shirts, shapeless cagoules and the odd Tootal paisley scarf (if they are feeling particularly wild), Liam and brother Noel are nothing if not predicable.

But with their best days long behind him, in music terms at least, Liam is only following in the long, dishonourable tradition of pop stars making a dramatic career change after the hits dried up.

Whether it's fashion, acting, creative writing, wine-making or wind-farming, fading celebs will turn their hands to anything in a bid to cling to fame and fortune. It usually starts with the singer/actress /model declaring "fashion/writing/ trout farming has always been my passion" and ends in bankruptcy and lawsuits..........

Man Charged With Attacking Noel Gallagher Is Set To Appear In Court Today

Daniel Sullivan, the 47-year-old Pickering man charged in an assault on Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher, was set to appear in court this morning. Sullivan was represented by his lawyer, John Collins, as the court scheduled a one-day preliminary trial for December 4, 2009.

The charges stem from an incident at a music festival on the Toronto Islands last September. A man jumped onstage in the middle of a performance by the British rock band, tackled Gallagher and left him with two broken ribs. The band subsequently cancelled a show the next night in London, Ont. Video footage of the incident was captured by concertgoers and went viral after it was uploaded to video-sharing sites like YouTube.

Sullivan is facing a charge of aggravated assault.

Liam Gallagrrrr

Liam is certainly a lad with his own style.

But I think this odd footwear bungle from the singer was a step too far.

The Oasis rocker – who launches a clothing range in June – and wife Nicole went out on the thrash wearing matching shoes on Saturday.

Liam’s slippers and Nicole’s heels bore strikingly similar animal print patterns.

The couple had joined Jo Wood for a pal’s birthday celebrations at London’s Met Bar.

I wonder if they headed home to snuggle up in his ’n’ hers pyjamas when they’d finished pussyfooting around?

'Deadly Anger' Of Noel Gallagher

Noel Gallagher has admitted he was so furious when his dad hit his mum he could have killed him.

The Oasis star, 41, witnessed the violent break-up of the relationship between Tommy and his mother Peggy when he was just a youngster.

He said: "When it was all going on with me mum and dad - I say this in all seriousness - I could have killed him.

"Easily. And I was terrified of him."

He has not seen Tommy for almost 20 years, despite attempts by his farther to make contact.

Strikes

Bur his bitterness towards him has eased - and now he just feels sorry for him.

Noel told the June edition of Q magazine: "He was a bit of a free spirit.

"Fine, have one child, don't have three, don't bring me into it.

"Have me in a cocoon of love, thank you very much.

"He was violent towards me mam and me but he was no more violent than than my mates dad's.
"With the strikes and the Winter of Discontent, they were f**king bleak times and when times are hard, who are you going to kick if you haven't got a dog?

"But I bear no malice towards him, I feel really sorry for him."

Liam Gallagher: 'Oasis Won't Split Because Of Rift'

Liam Gallagher insists Oasis will never split, despite the tensions between him and bandmate brother Noel Gallagher - because they've hated each other for the past 15 years.

The pair has taken their feud public in recent weeks, starting with Noel's revelation that his brother has never met his 19 month old nephew Donovan.

The guitarist said, "Liam is... rude, arrogant, intimidating and lazy. He's the angriest man you'll ever meet. He's like a man with a fork in a world of soup."

But Liam wants to reassure fans the rift doesn't mean a split is likely - insisting the brothers have never got on.

He says, "(Things are) not good. Not good. He likes Oasis and I like Oasis, so I'm not leaving and he's not leaving, so we gotta do it, but we don't get on, so I can't be a**ed, man. He's different and I'm different. We've done well, 15 years at it - 15 years of having problems together, we've done pretty well.

And he insists the band feeds off the Gallaghers' tension: "I think the minute we start getting happy and holding hands and being like other bands then I think it'll be over. This is the tension, it's like he wants to outdo me and I want to outdo him
