On This Day In Oasis History...

"Sunday Morning Call" is a song by British rock band Oasis taken from their fourth studio album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, and was released as the third and final single from it on 3 July 2000, peaking at #4 in the UK charts. The song is written and sung by Noel Gallagher, who took over lead vocal from brother Liam Gallagher on an A-side for the first time since "Don't Look Back in Anger" in 1996.

Though the song has the same anthemic feel that popularised many Oasis songs, and departs from the psychedelic feel of Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, which had been poorly received by critics, it received a mixed critical reception. NME described it as "a dreary thing indeed", whereas Allmusic described it as a "self-consciously mature departure from the group's usual ebullience... a deliberately mellow, mid-tempo [song]".



The music video is a take on the Jack Nicholson film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, with characters resembling McMurphy and Nurse Ratched. It was filmed in an old mental institution in Vancouver, Canada and features Scottish actor James Cunningham, who has previously starred in the original play of Trainspotting. Unlike the film, the video begins with the McMurphy character escaping his home and giving chase to the authorities, and ends in a football match. While the inmates celebrate a victory, Oasis are seen watching from the asylum window, and Noel Gallagher makes a 'wanker' hand gesture at Cunningham.

Although unconfirmed, there was widespread speculation at the time that the song was inspired by Noel's friend Kate Moss.

To date this is the only Oasis single on which Liam Gallagher does not provide vocals on any of the songs.

Noel Gallagher Can’t Get Enough Of Channel 4's Embarrassing Bodies

Dishy doctor Christian Jessen has revealed his show’s most unlikely fan — rocker Noel Gallagher.

The Embarrassing Bodies host was astonished when he was chased down the road in London by the High Flying Birds frontman.

Christian said: “I was walking down Marylebone High Street and this big chauffeur-driven car pulls up.

The door swings open and a bearded, long-haired chap leaps out and he’s like ‘Oh mate, mate, I just wanted to say I f***ing love your show’.
“It was Noel Gallagher and he said, ‘Can I shake your hand?’ I was like, Noel Gallagher, sure you can shake my hand — that was a very surreal moment.”

Christian, who was more interested in music than in becoming a doctor when he was younger, needs a strong stomach for work on his Channel 4 show.

He has had to examine patients with rotting armpits, scalps spraying pus, extreme hernias, boils and leaking bladders.

Liam Gallagher: 'I'd Have Supported The Stone Roses With Oasis'

Singer says he's quite happy to play second fiddle to the reunited legends.

Liam Gallagher has said he'd been quite happy to support The Stone Roses, even if he was still playing with Oasis.

Gallagher, who supported The Stone Roses on Saturday (June 30) during the second of their three Heaton Park gigs, told BBC 6Music that he would have opened up for the reunited legends, whether he was still singing alongside brother Noel, or, as it turned out, with Beady Eye.

Asked about this, the singer said: "I already hoped we would [support the Stone Roses], I'd have done it with Oasis. I'm not one of these people who goes 'We're not supporting you because we're just as big as you', I think some days you've got to drop your guard, it doesn't matter who's headlining. It just so happens we're doing it with Beady Eye, who are just as important as Oasis."

Gallagher also said he believed that no new band could sell as many tickets as The Stone Roses, because today's generation "have too much".

Asked if he thought it was a sign of the times that a reformed band could sell so many tickets, Gallagher replied: "It just goes to show that there's a lot of shit out there at the moment, but the Roses are great and they deserve it. If the bands were good, it would happen. The kids have got too much these days. Years ago, all we had was a guitar and a football."

NME's definitive review of the Stone Roses homecoming shows will hit newsstands next Wednesday (July 4) – if you want your photos to be included in the issue, tweet us your Heaton Park pictures or post them to Instagram using the hashtag #heatonparknme.

Gallery And Review Of Beady Eye At Heaton Park

The Stone Roses gigs were a special moment for another homecoming hero – in the swaggering form of Liam Gallagher and his band Beady Eye.

Beady Eye played a barnstorming set on Saturday night ahead of the Roses taking to the stage at Heaton Park.

And Burnage boy Liam delighted Oasis fans by covering two of his former band's songs for the first time with Beady Eye, What's The Story (Morning Glory) and Rock 'n' Roll Star which he promptly dedicated to Ian Brown.

The band also treated the crowds to new Liam-penned song World Not Set In Stone - a song title not unlike something we'd expect from the Stone Roses themselves, we reckon!

Needless to say, Liam signed off the set with typically colourful language, shouting out to the crowds: “You are about to see the best ****ing band in the world, you don't know how lucky you are.”

Liam was later pictured backstage with his wife, former pop star Nicole Appleton, and TV presenter Holly Willoughby, enjoying the Stone Roses gig.

Liam had earlier told Elizabeth Alker in an interview for BBC6 Music that he'd felt "relaxed" about the gig and that he'd even have played support for the Roses if Oasis were still together.

He said: "I'd always had my fingers crossed, I'd have even done it with Oasis, I'm not one of those people who'd say "Im not supporting you cause we're as big as you" or whatever. Life's too short you've got to drop your guard and just have a good time, it doesn't matter who is headlining.

As long as it's happening it's great, I'm dead happy." He revealed Beady Eye's new album is "going great" and he said he hopes that both Beady Eye and the Stone Roses will both release new albums next year. "That'd be nice," he said.

Oasis Founding Member Bonehead New Band Is Called 'Parlour Flames'

Taken from Vinny Peculiar's blog....

The new Parlour Flames website [that's the name of the Vinny/Bonehead project, in case you'd missed it] is in the making as we speak. Domain names have been secured so in not too long from now we'll be tweeting and bleating along with the rest of them. I'll update eveyone as soon as.The struggle we had with names was in keeping with the world today, practically every name taken on myspace and such. The name Parlour Flames seemed to sit nicely with us, the old school front room, where the sparks of creativity begin, that kind of thing. Looking forward to finishing the album, it should be done and dusted end of this month. Not sure who will be putting it out yet but I doubt it'll be Shadrack and Duxbury, they say they are having second thoughts about he music business...plastic coffins, now there's an idea?

Pictures of the pair in the studio can be found here.

Noel Gallagher's Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere (Vol.2) Part Sixty Eight

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.

Yes comrades.

So, the festival in Oslo was a bit weird. It took place at a ski-jumping . . . thing (not sure what the correct term is) . . . at the top of a mountain. Freezing cold and in thick fog. A bit miserable. That bird Rhianna was headlining. I'm told she had an entourage of 100 people!!! ONE HUNDRED!!!!! I've got (a quite pathetic) 11.

Not sure the young 'uns down the front appreciated a bit of the old rock 'n' folk. They didn't look too happy anyway. All that being said it was ANOTHER great gig! What's that now? 5 in a row? The record books are being ripped up here!

Back down the hill in the town there was what seemed like another festival of sorts going on in the park in the main square. A free one I think. I could hear it from my room. A bit cabaret. It sounded like a load of local bands doing covers. All good clean fun.

Anyway . . . after going for what was quite frankly the most APPALLING Chinese I think I've ever had I tried to get my head down. The town was a bit rowdy though. I think the free festival thing must've had a late licence. Funny thing is . . . at about 2am I was woken by the noise coming from the park. Over the PA and as clear as night I could hear someone doing an acoustic cover of "Don't Look Back In Anger"!!!! I kid you not (the bastards murdered it by the way!).

ONWARDS.

GD.

On This Day In Oasis History...

Heathen Chemistry is the fifth studio album by English rock band Oasis, first released on July 1st 2002. It sold over 1 million copies in the UK, ending up in the top ten best selling albums of 2002, and about 4 million worldwide as of 2005.

Heathen Chemistry was received more warmly than the previous Oasis album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, by both fans and critics alike. It spawned four singles, each of which made the top three in the UK charts: "The Hindu Times", their sixth number one single in the UK, "Stop Crying Your Heart Out", a song made famous as it was played on the BBC when the English football team were knocked out of the World Cup, the Double A-Side, sung by Noel — "Little By Little/She Is Love" — and "Songbird", the first single written by Liam.

This album was the last one to feature the band's longtime drummer, Alan White, who left in early 2004, with Noel Gallagher claiming White's commitment to the band wasn't up to scratch. He was effectively replaced with Ringo Starr's son, Zak Starkey.



















Album History

The title of the album, according to Noel, came from a t-shirt he bought in Ibiza which featured a logo reading, "The Society of Heathen Chemists". Similarly, the name of the first single, "The Hindu Times", originated from a logo on a t-shirt that read the same thing, which Noel saw during a photo shoot for GQ's 100 Greatest Guitarists edition. The name was given to the track when it was just an instrumental, as all the instrumentals of this album were given actual titles as opposed to "Instrumental 1", etc., and the name stuck once the track was finished.

The album was recorded during 2001–early 2002, and was the first studio album written and recorded with the two new members, bassist Andy Bell and rhythm guitarist Gem Archer. Bell and Archer wrote one track each, and Liam Gallagher contributed three, thus the album signalled the end of Noel Gallagher songs dominating Oasis albums (though Liam had contributed "Little James" to Standing on the Shoulder of Giants).

The release of the album was overshadowed by an internet leak of all 11 tracks almost three months prior to release. However, listeners of the commercially released album heard slight differences to two tracks, "Little By Little" and "Better Man".
