Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Taken fron Noel's tour diary for oasisinet.com

Ahem. I take back all I said yesterday. About bring the mountain to Mohammed (are we still allowed to say that? I recall an incident with a teddy bear recently), so to speak. Last night's gig was incredible. I say gig, I'm not sure I heard any of it, but the night was amazing. Amazing. Amazing.

Even The Shroud had a banner in the crowd. It was a cardboard cut-out of his hairy little head. Underneath was the legend, "JESUS". Simple. Beautiful.

Had to scarper after the gig. Would have loved to have stayed and re-lived the 90s but the writing bug has gripped me. Nearly wrote 5 new songs on this leg alone! Gotta get them down while it's still happening.

Just waiting for breakfast. Phone Irie Nancy and that's me done. All packed and ready to leave.

I speak directly to you people of South America. You have been truly amazing. It's been a privilege to play for you. The memories of this little tour will live with me for a long time. Mucho gracias and obrigado.

Hasta luego.

GD.

Watch Jersey Budd Perform His Debut Single And A Great Cover Of Oasis Song Talk Tonight

Jersey Budd finally played at The Sun’s studios – after postponing his gig two weeks ago when he was in a car shunt.

But the hotly tipped singer — who is being described as the new Paul Weller — proved he was worth the wait with a cracking acoustic Biz session.

Jersey performed debut single Shotgun Times and a great cover of Oasis song Talk Tonight — the first track he ever learnt to play on the guitar.

He also revealed another reason behind his choice of song.

He said: “At a party after a Kasabian gig in December 2007, I went and sat on the toilet with a guitar, singing Talk Tonight, and Noel Gallagher was sat next to me on the bath. It was the most surreal moment of my life.

“I love Oasis. The best ever gig I’ve been to was seeing them at Maine Road in Manchester. Magic. Noel is a top geezer.”

This summer, Jersey hopes to finally get to Glastonbury after a failed attempt two years ago.

He said: “I’m really looking forward to the festival season.

“I'm going to get to Glastonbury a week early this year to ensure I don't have another cock-up like the last time I tried to go.

"We got lost, stuck in traffic and ran over a black cat. Not a good day! I was gutted.”

Hopefully this Biz session will see the end of the star’s bad luck.

Jersey’s album Wonderlands is out now.

Manchester City: Tevez May Arrive, Raul Will Not. Oasis Want Nilmar To Sign

Just for a change, it’s attackers and Manchester City stirring up market rumours. This time it is Carlos Tevez. "Next year he will play in a club that is not in the Champions League”, announced his agent Kia Joorabchian to the Daily Express, feeding the rumours of a possible move from United to City.

Where he will not finds Raul. Coach of English club, Mark Hughes has denied the super-offer made to the Real Madrid player: "He is an exceptional player that I admire and respect, but we are not interested and he will not come here".

Finally a message from Brazil. Before the concert in Porto Alegre, Noel Gallagher met the star of the local team: Nilma of Internacional. The singer of Oasis, a great fan of Manchester City, asked him to come and play in England, complimenting him for the great goal he scored against Ronaldo’s Corinthians.

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

What a mad day! I just woke up at 11:45. A.M.! That in itself is mental. I haven't slept that long since 1998 - Paris, I think it was.

It's FUCKIN' PISSING DOWN WITH RAIN and it's pitch black - maybe not black, but very, very grey.

Curitiba was great. The gig was anyway. Dunno what we're trying to prove by playing places like that, and here in Porto Alegre for that matter. Why not just do 2 big, fuck off gigs in Rio and Sao Paolo?? If everyone in Argentina is willing to travel to Buenos Aires to be part of one of the greatest nights of all time (I'm not kidding, you should've been there!) Then I don't see what the difference is in Brazil. It's the kids who lose out, if you ask me. Someone throwing up a make-shift stage in some car park can never compare with the noise and colour of a stadium. Still, the gigs themselves are great. Could be better though. Anyway, 'nuff of that.

What's happening with you?

As I said, am currently in Porto Alegre. Waiting to soundcheck. In the rain.

Looking forward to going home tomorrow.

In a bit.

Oasis Concert Could Delay Votes

A music concert in north Manchester, featuring the band Oasis, could delay people voting in next month's European ballot, election officials have warned.

The Manchester band plays the first of three huge open-air concerts in Heaton Park on 4 June, which is polling day.

Two main roads bordering the park, Bury Old Road and Sheepfoot Lane, will be closed at 2130 BST - half an hour before polling stations close.

People living in the area are being urged to apply for a postal vote.

Polling stations will be open between 0700 BST and 2200 BST as normal on 4 June, Bury Council said.

Postal ballot

But election officers fear that residents who leave it late to vote might miss out if they find their route blocked.

The cut-off point for applying for a postal vote is 1700 BST on 19 May.

"Elections officers in Bury say that one way to avoid any potential problems would be to use a postal vote," a Bury council spokesperson said.

"Alternatively, some people might choose to go the polls a bit earlier."

Oasis, fronted by Burnage-raised brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, are returning to Manchester as part of their Dig Out Your Soul world tour.

The final two sell-out concerts, with support from The Enemy and Kasabian, take place on 6 and 7 July.

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Taken from Noel's tour diary for oasisinet.com

So. Last night was eventful. The gig was outdoors and it fuckin' pissed down. PISSED DOWN! Monsoon style. Thunder and lightning. You wouldn't get away with that anywhere else in the world. These Brazilians don't give a fuck though. Amazing night. As it always is in Sao Paulo. I was particularly good (well!? I was!!).

We are currently in Curitiba. CURITIBA!! That's NOT a country, Mr Tabloid Writer. It's a city in Brazil.

Liam Gallagher: Solo Albums Will Split Oasis

It looks like Noel Gallagher was right when he told Q magazine (via ChartAttack) that his brother Liam “will f*cking freak out” at his hopes for every member of Oasis to record a solo record before the band’s next release.

In a televised interview from Brazil , Liam responded to Noel’s plans to release a solo record. “I could do that, but I don’t want to do that,” he said. “I’m in Oasis, you know what I mean. If everyone starts going off doing solo records then you might as well just f*cking split the band up, you know what I mean. I’m part of a band and that’s the way it is. If you go on going off doing solo records then there’s no Oasis, you know what I mean. Someone’s gotta be here keeping it together.”

So Noel’s 5-year hiatus plan could be a problem, but once again it’s interesting to see how the Gallagher brothers only communicate with each other through interviews and the occasional tweet.

If the previous comment’s aim wasn’t pointed clearly enough at his brother, Liam gets more explicit at the end of the Q&A. When asked what the best and worst parts to being in Oasis were, he responded: “The best part is obviously the music, playing the gigs, meeting people from different parts of the world. All that stuff. That’s good. The worst part is being in a band with your f*cking brother.”

These gigs just keep getting better and better. I didn't think we could top Peru, Argentina and Chile but fuck me, last night was easily up there with the best nights EVER! Amazing crowd. I suppose one should expect nothing less from Brazilians, but still - "well done".

And if that wasn't enough, I spent the day by a virtually deserted pool right on the beach. Hungover. Just me. And some beautiful people playing volleyball in the pool.

The atmosphere was spoiled somewhat by "Man, I Feel LIke A Women" by that Shania Twain playing somewhere in the distance. 3 TIMES!!

Still, it's days like these that I'm glad I persevered with that bloody guitar when I was a young boy.

Sao Paulo tomorrow. Home of Robinho and Elano. WE ARE CITY etc..

PS. By the way, The Bulldozer didn't show up.
