Pretty Green
Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher will not be wearing any of brother Liam's new clothing creations - as he doesn't share his sibling's taste in fashion.
Lead singer Liam launched his Pretty Green label - which includes trousers, hats, cagoules and t-shirts - online last month, and Noel says that his brother will be focusing even more on the fashion line when the band's gruelling tour finishes at the end of August (09).
The brothers' rocky relationship has been highly publicised, with Noel often publicly poking fun at Liam and nicknaming him Romeo - but when asked if his brother's clothing was nice, he quickly replies, "Shall we move on."
Although restraining from being too critical, Noel makes it clear that unlike Liam, he will not be seen in anything from the line.
He says, "He wears it all the time. He wears it all, down to the socks. He's all kitted out."
Noel adds that he has very little interest in fashion, and describes his own style as 'wealthy idiot'. He says, "It's a function, I dress because nudity is outlawed on the street."

Oasis
These are uneasy times and we must clutch at every fil we can, like a squirrel readying itself for hibernation. Imagine the financial pickle, then, that several thousand Oasis fans now find themselves in.
Last month, at a gig just outside Manchester at Heaton Park, more than 70,000 fans flocked to see the band belt out classics like Wonderwall, Some Might Say and Don’t Look Back in Anger. For this dubious pleasure, they each parted with £45 (Dh270).
The problems kicked off at the start of the set when generator problems meant Liam, Noel and the other members of the band walked offstage to boos from the crowd. The boys and their eyebrows waltzed on again 10 minutes later, but difficulties struck back and this time the band was forced to retreat for 40 minutes while stage hands frantically tweaked wires and fixed the situation.
“Really sorry about that,” said Liam when they re-appeared. “This is a free gig now. Everyone will get a refund.” For those who are acquainted with Liam Gallagher and his charmless utterings, that in itself is something of a feat. He is, after all, the brother who recently told fans at a Coventry gig to stop clapping in time to the music. “This is Oasis, not Simple Minds,” he shouted gracelessly.
Back in Manchester before the evening was out, his brother Noel was fighting back with a more traditional Gallagher tone. “Kind of regret offering you your money back now,” he said bitterly.
The plot thickens. Twenty thousand fans applied for a refund, which has left Oasis facing a bill of £900,000 (Dh5.36m). A promise is a promise though, even in Manchester, and the lengthy process of refunds started last week. But what’s this? The Gallagher brothers have signed the refund cheques themselves, and the cheques – though officially from NatWest – have been amended so they look like they’ve been issued by the fictitious Oasis Bank of Burnage, the Mancunian district where the pair grew up.
In case the fans don’t realise the crafty intentions behind this ploy, a band spokeswoman helpfully offered an explanation. “People can cash them in,” she said. “But they are quite distinctive, so a few people might decide to keep them.”
So after all that, the fans’ quandary is thus: keep the cheques as an investment or cash in their current value and forfeit a piece of Oasis memorabilia. Several have already made their way on to eBay. “I have put it on here for the diehard fans to have one,” explains a seller named purplejo1010. “I have obviously put a reserve fee so that I do not loose [sic] out in any way.” Of course, Purplejo1010, for what kind of monstrous world do we live in if we cannot make a quick buck online?
Other Oasis fansites are rife with discussions over the problem, too. “Colour copy it so you have a copy which looks like the original and then cash it in. Simple!” witters Mike S from Manchester.
Another fan, Black Flag, compares the dastardly duo’s move to that of Salvador DalÃ, who used to draw pictures on the back of cheques he would write for restaurant bills so that they would end up framed, not cashed in. The brothers aren’t perhaps in quite the same league, but it’s a touching sentiment, Black Flag.
So for the Gallagher brothers, the moral of the story is perhaps make absolutely sure that you’ve run through a sound check before the start of a gig. They appeared not to have taken this on board before their Wembley show last week when a rendition of Wonderwall was beset with sound problems. On that occasion, however, Noel moved like a viper. “Can I just categorically say no one is getting their money back,” he announced.
For the fans, given the precarious nature of the world’s banking systems, they might find the cheques currently more valuable than cash anyway. According to one of the world’s most comprehensive autograph indices, Fraser’s, the scribble of a celebrity can wield worthy dividends. Since 1997, for example, autographs by a motley groups of names as disparate as Fidel Castro, Princess Diana, Neil Armstrong and Paul McCartney have appreciated more than 1,000 per cent. Get bidding for those cheques on eBay, trophy hunters; to the victor belong the spoils.

While looking through the iTunes UK Store earlier today I came across 'Boy With The Blues' and 'I Believe In All'. Both tracks are available to download individually by clicking here.
The tracks both written by Liam Gallagher were originally on the bonus disc for Oasis' 'Dig Out Your Soul' (Limited Edition Super Deluxe Box Set) released last October.
Also available to download is the excellent Devendra Banhart remix of '(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady'.

Last month's homecoming at Heaton Park in Manchester was marred by on-stage walk-offs and technical difficulties.
But the Gallagher brothers are on their best behaviour at Coventry City's stadium.
However, that's not to say Liam Gallagher doesn't try to stir things up.
Swaggering up to the mic, he dips his head and dedicates Cigarettes And Alcohol to "the real Sky Blues . . . MCFC".
The crowd naturally respond with a barrage of boos following the jibe at their own city's team.
But lairy Liam quickly silences the dissent with the opening line: "Is it my imag-in-a- sheee-un . . . ".
Ever the moody frontman, standing centre stage in a green parka, the younger Gallagher only appears for the songs he sings, occasionally reaching for a tambourine - which he flings into the audience at the end of the set.
He delivers Live Forever with an arrogant sneer that threatens to slip into anger as he orders the audience to clap: "Get your f***ing hands out! We're not Simple Minds!"
Noel, standing to the right of the stage, is more genial, bigging up both support band The Enemy and reformed local heroes The Specials.
Noel also cheekily dedicates The Importance Of Being Idle to himself (" . . . being brilliant and all that . . . ") and nodding with humble respect to the crowd after they out-sing him on Don't Look Back In Anger during the encore.
It's the start of the second leg of their British tour with a sold-out 30,000 crowd - the size of audience other bands would kill to play to.
But it feels as if Oasis are treating this one as a warm-up show before their run of three gigs at Wembley Stadium later in the week.
Oasis are the greatest rock 'n' roll band of their generation but, as they coast effortlessly through '90s classics such as Roll With It, Wonderwall and The Royle Family theme Half A World Away, it makes for a set that feels confident and assured - rather than passionate.

Well Oasis claim that the souvenir worthy cheque signed by the Gallagher brothers is bounce proof. So what do you do next? Go and get back your hard earned money and cash it in or save a once in a life time collectible item?
Oasis fans who claimed their money back after the band's disrupted Heaton Park gig now face a dilemma.
Oasis face a £1m bill after more than 20,000 fans took up Noel's offer of a refund over their Heaton Park gig.
Despite featuring the logo of the fictitious bank, the cheques are legal tender and can be cashed normally. But promoters for the gig suggested that some fans may want to keep the distinctive novelty cheques, which bear the signature of Liam and Noel Gallagher, as a memento.
A band spokeswoman said: "People can obviously cash them in. They are quite distinctive so a few people may decide to keep them."
The band's opening night concert in Manchester on June 4 was marred by technical glitches, with two separate power cuts leading to a 50-minute delay resulting in Noel Gallagher speaking to dissatisfied fans from the stage: "Thank you very, very much, this is a free gig - let's have it... anybody who has kept their ticket will get a full refund."
More than 70,000 fans had paid £45 for tickets for the show.

Oasis and Kasabian stars Noel Gallagher and Serge Pizzorno put support behind England`s bid to host 2018 World Cup
With their respective bands set to rock Wembley Stadium over the coming days, Noel Gallagher and Serge Pizzorno showed their footballing colours by taking time out from rehearsals to back England`s bid to host the 2018 World Cup.
Serge once harboured aspirations of playing for his beloved Leicester City, and Noel`s passion for football and all things Manchester City is legendary so the pair were keen to register their support at www.england2018bid.co.uk and help in England`s campaign to host the world`s greatest football tournament.
Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher said:
‘Playing gigs in England, and in particular at Wembley, is always an amazing feeling with the fans that come to watch us creating an electric atmosphere. The buzz the nation would create if we were to host the World Cup in 2018 would be incredible – England lives and breathes football, from a professional level through to guys going out for a kick about with their mates and kids in the playground.’
‘I`m proud to be supporting the England 2018 campaign and would encourage the entire nation to get behind it as well.
Leicester City fan Serge Pizzorno said:
‘The entire band is delighted to get behind England 2018. Everyone in England loves football and the tournament would create a huge wave of passion throughout the country.’
‘We`re also really excited about Leicester bidding to become a Host City. The opportunity for England to host a World Cup is really amazing and the thought of games being played at the Walkers Stadium is incredible.’
Noel and Serge become the latest high profile names to join the official support campaign, which was launched by David Beckham earlier this month. It aims to secure two million signatories by the time the official bid is submitted to FIFA in December 2010. To back the bid, simply log on to www.england2018bid.co.uk.

Duffy

Oasis
Noel Gallagher has no plans to release a solo album - despite having a bank of songs he's written that aren't right for Oasis.
The British rocker is currently on tour with Oasis following the release of the band's seventh studio album, Dig Out Your Soul, in October (08), and the only plans he has when the tour ends in August (09) is to take a well earned break.
He says, "Some might say they're all solo albums but they've just got the band's name on the front. There are no plans to do anything after this tour but go on holiday. I've got lots of songs that wouldn't really (suit Oasis)."
Although he has no immediate plans to release the songs himself, the Wonderwall hitmaker is reluctant to give his songs to other artists, in particular Welsh pop star Duffy.
He says, "I'd rather trap my finger in a door (than give her a song)."

Oasis
Rating: 3/5
Blur’s triumphant comeback has left sometime rivals Oasis , who never went anywhere, somewhat in the shade.
Unintentional though it may have been, coming exactly a week after Blur’s Hyde Park triumph , eyes were locked on the Manchester rock band’s Wembley show last night.
The group, now nearing their 20th anniversary, seemed lacklustre – as if they were going through the motions. But thankfully they played some great songs: early ones by Noel like Slide Away and Supersonic, and newer ones by Liam: I’m Outta Time and Songbird, which he dedicated to his very own song bird wife Nicole Appleton. And, of course, the classic ballads such as Champagne Supernova and Half The World Away.
The sound cut out twice during Wonderwall – the first time, it seemed perfectly timed for a sing-a-long.
After a similar thing happened in Manchester last month, and Noel offered everyone their money back (to the tune of £500k), he was clear nothing like that was happening in London: “Can I just say at this point that nobody is getting their money back?” he said, before reiterating the point again, and again.
Although Liam Gallagher is a charismatic front man, his tendency to stand stock still arms behind back make him more of a candidate for the Trafalgar Square fourth plinth than bona fide rock god.
With rumours rife that the band will soon take time out to pursue solo ventures, this could be the last Oasis tour in a while. It was a respectable night of solid hits, new and old, but pesky southerners Blur have still got the edge.
