Noel Gallagher Not Mad For Email

Noel Gallagher doesn't like receiving emails because it takes him such a long time to type out his replies.

Noel Gallagher hates getting emails - because it takes him so long to write a response.

The technophobic rock star only recently entered the computer age and he gets frustrated by the messages he receives because his typing skills are so poor when he has to write back.

He said: "I have 150 emails everyday. Emails containing something where someone could call me up and ask me, Noel, do you want to do such and such and I'd say thanks - done. It takes me 40 minutes to send an email."

Noel - who releases his debut solo LP, 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds', next week - bought his first ever computer last December.

The 44-year-old musician admits he was talked into purchasing a totally inappropriate computer when he went the shops.

In an interview on UK station BBC Radio 2, the former Oasis guitarist explained: "I've got an iPad and I got a computer at Xmas. Other than entertainment, what are they for? They're not for anything! The guy in the shop, he's seen me coming. My older brother he came round at Xmas and said, 'You've not got a computer?' So I got an iPad. The next logical thing is to get a computer. So I go to the place and I say to the guy, I don't know nothing about any of this but I feel like I should have a computer. He said right, follow me and he talked to me and it all sounded like nonsense but I thought I'll buy it because I didn't want to look an idiot.

"I got back to the office and I pulled out the computer and everyone said, 'What have you got one of those for?' This thing it's so big, it's what professional people who design space shuttles use. I very rarely plug it in."

Noel Gallagher Plays Down Expectation

Noel Gallagher isn't famous for his modesty. But he's not ashamed to admit his solo career with the High Flying Birds will always be eclipsed by his time in Oasis.

He said: "To recreate that success with a different band is going to be very difficult. People are going to judge it, but that's fine. We have to live with that and we are ready."

H from Steps knows how that feels.

With High Flying Birds tour dates on the horizon, people will be able to decide for themselves before long.

Noel is doing a live Radio 2 gig from a secret London venue on November 3. Get free tickets from the Radio 2 website this morning.

Noel Gallagher Wants To Kiss Jose Mourinho

As a fellow proponent of rockstar swagger and speaking his mind, lifelong Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher has made no secret of his admiration for The Special One. He praised Mourinho when Sven Goran Eriksson was sacked in 2008, and phoned talkSPORT last year to tell them the Portuguese would be a perfect replacement for Roberto Mancini at Eastlands.

But this is a little more than one successful man admiring another. If an interview in Spanish daily newspaper El Mundo is to be believed, the former Oasis guitarist wants to make mouth whoopy with Mourinho when his solo tour hits the Spanish capital:

What do you expect from the concert in Madrid?

I hope Jose Mourinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Özil come. I love Mourinho with all my f**king heart. If you see him, tell him that I want to kiss him.

Are you being serious?

Quite serious. I love this man and I want to kiss him.

While Noel loves him some Special One, the more obnoxious Gallagher brother hasn't been quite so complimentary. At a Beady Eye concert in Madrid earlier this year, Liam is reported to have said: "There's only one boss in this town, and if Jose's here I'll have him."

Michael Winterbottom To Direct Liam Gallagher's Beatles Movie

Michael Winterbottom is being lined up to direct Liam Gallagher's movie about The Beatles. The director, who has already directed music movies Nine Songs and 24 Hour Party People, is set to helm The Longest Cocktail Party, on which the Beady Eye singer is a producer.

The film is based on Richard DiLello's memoir of the period between 1967 and 1970. A former intern at Apple Records, DiLello became director of public relations at the label.

Co-producer Andrew Eaton told IndieWire: "We're developing for Michael to direct, it's one of my passion projects. Liam's great to work with, because he wants everything to happen tomorrow. Because he’s not from the film business he’s basically going, 'Why can’t we do it right now?' It's very inspiring."

The script has been written by Peep Show writer Jesse Armstrong.

Noel Gallagher's Son Stops Him From Playing The Guitar

The former Oasis star's four-year-old son Donovan - his child with wife Sara MacDonald - is not a fan of his dad's musical talent and will put his hand over his strings to halt his practice sessions.

Noel - who has another child, 12-month-old Sonny, with Sara, and an 11-year-old daughter Anais with his ex-wife Meg Matthews - said: "I've always got a guitar round the house. I'd like to play the guitar more but I've got three kids and a cat and they're slowly demolishing my house!

"Unfortunately my eldest lad has developed a habit of finding me wherever I am in the house. I could be inside a wardrobe just getting five minutes, and he'll find me. He'll just open the wardrobe door. He doesn't say anything, he'll just put his hands over the strings. So that's it."

But the 'If I Had A Gun' singer - who releases his debut solo album, 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds', next week - has come up with an plan to get his revenge on Donovan when he is older.

During an appearance on the Simon Mayo show on UK station BBC Radio 2, he added: "When he does it I just look at him and think I'll remember this when I'm writing my will out. He'll find out when they're reading out the will and 'to Donovan...' He'll say, 'He's left me this guitar.' It would be ironic wouldn't it?"

Noel Gallagher Set To Beat X Factor's Matt Cardle In UK Chart Battle

Noel Gallagher is set to beat Matt Cardle to the UK album number one spot with his debut effort.

According to Amazon the former Oasis member has accumulated 13% more pre-orders for his debut solo album Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds than Cardle has for Letters album.

"Matt Cardle's album has been pre-ordering very well, but over the last few weeks we've seen a significant increase in demand for Noel's debut post-Oasis effort," said Paul Firth, head of music buying at Amazon UK.

"There is still some way to go but Noel is in pole position and in the process, his High Flying Birds have sold more than three times as many pre-order albums as his brother Liam's band, Beady Eye, achieved before release."

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds', released on October 17, was recorded in London and completed in Los Angeles during 2010 and the first half of this year.

It features ten new songs and was produced by Gallagher and Dave Sardy. The album includes guest appearances from the Crouch End Festival Chorus and The Wired Strings.

The album, which is due to be released later this month, is the first of two Gallagher is set to put out over the coming year.

It also features the single 'The Death Of You And Me'.
