Oh we are good to you - and to prove it THIS FRIDAY (October 14) Noel Gallagher will be playing out his debut album in full and talking Xfm's John Kennedy through it track by track.
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is out next Monday so you can hear it THREE DAYS EARLY live on Xfm.
The album playback is happening from 12 noon this Friday on Xfm.
Interviewed at our recent Q25 cover shoot, Noel Gallagher talks about adjusting to life as a solo artist, rehearsing for his live debut, his solo album Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, his second album - a collaboration with Amorphous Androgynous - which will be out next year, the release of the 'lost' Oasis classic Stop The Clocks, who the most influential artist of Q's lifetime is and why he has no time for the 2012 Olympics.
Noel Gallagher is planning to rest his song-writing career for one day…and try his hand at being a radio DJ.
The former Oasis rocker will co-host the Christian O’Connell Breakfast Show on national station Absolute Radio on Wednesday 12th of October.
Gallagher is currently preparing for the release of his debut solo album 'Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds', but wants to take a day off and spend it with Christian and the breakfast show team.
Christian O’Connell said “Noel is a legend – plain and simple. He’s been in the business for 20 years and there’s nothing he doesn’t know about making records. That said, he knows bugger-all about being a DJ so I’m going to get the bleeper machine ready and throw him in at the deep end to see what he’s made of. Who knows, if it works out I could be his new wing-man – I hear the last guy didn’t work out so well.”
Ex-Oasis man admits he doesn't understand staggered release dates
Noel Gallagher has branded the charts "insane" in the interview clip which can be seen here.
Speaking to NME, the singer said that he didn't understand why downloads were released at different times to the physical editions of singles.
Referencing his recent track 'AKA What A Life' the former Oasis man said: "It's fucked now. Some of us are old enough to remember Top Of The Pops and The Chart Show.

The Jo Whiley Music Show When: 21st October Time: 10pm On: Sky Arts HD
Jo Whiley is joined by Noel Gallagher, Julian Lennon and Ricky Wilson for a lively music-based discussion. Plus, there are performances from T.E.E.D and Maverick Sabre.
In messy divorces, the ensuing battle over custody and alimony can be spiteful and bitter, and is usually at the expense of those caught in the middle. Paul McCartney, for example, forked out £25million to get that Heather Mills out of his life. Noel Gallagher, it would seem, lost out to truculent little brother Liam in the post-Oasis feud as to who was entitled to the electric guitars - and guitarists. ‘High Flying Birds’ is a decidedly acoustic affair, but disappointingly, despite Noel’s frequent advocation of Neil Young’s genius, it’s nowhere near as introspective or penetrating as old Shakey. More frustratingly, this isn’t Noel sitting on a bar stool strumming pastoral ‘Talk Tonight’-like musings; it’s him rehashing ‘The Importance Of Being Idle’ (literally the worst Oasis single) over and over. To be fair though, upon announcing his intentions for the year ahead, Noel had all but apologised in advance for the overshadowing Oasis-isms of this album, noting that all the tracks were remnants left over from those intended for the group to tackle. So, ‘Idle’-ness aside, what else can you expect?
Unsurprisingly, it’s the numbers that are least like the aforementioned single that are most satisfying, musically anyway. The trippy orchestral crescendo that heralds opener ‘Everybody’s On The Run’ gives way to a delicious low-end McCartney bassline, while Noel’s urgings to “hang in there” and “hold on” are saved from triteness by sweeping strings. ‘AKA...What A ’Life, as heard on the recent Vauxhall ads, is great: driving drums, hypnotic piano and sinister Moog-like atmospherics are carried by Noel’s reverb-laden melodies, and injects a bit of well-needed energy into the middle of the album.
Lyrically, there are interesting ruminations on the trappings of fame (‘(I Wanna Live In A Dream In My) Record Machine’) and his troubled mind (‘Broken Arrow’), while the album is all the better for losing some of the bravado Noel hid behind while writing for Liam - but there are admittedly some clunkers (namely, the ‘gun/sun’, ‘moon/room’ rhymes of ‘If I Had A Gun...’ and the shameless Kinks replica, ‘Soldier Boys And Jesus Freaks’).
I hate slagging off Noel Gallagher - partly because he can be an easy target, partly because it’s been done so often before - but mostly because he’s still The Guvnor, and I still want him to be brilliant. This isn’t, so all my hopes are pinned on next year’s Amorphous Androgynous collab blowing my mind. Please!
