Blur Man Wants To Jam With Noel Gallagher

Former rival rockers Noel Gallagher and Graham Coxon are set to perform a song together for the first time when they hit the road later this year (12).

The ex-Oasis star had a long-running war-of-words with Coxon and his Blur bandmates in the 1990s but recently buried the hatchet with the guitarist and singer Damon Albarn.

To show they are pals again, Gallagher invited Coxon to support him as a special guest on tour with his new band High Flying Birds in September (12), and Coxon has now confessed he wants them to 'jam' together onstage.

He tells Uncut magazine, "Yeah, it's weird I'm going out on tour with Noel. I've never talked to him about music, it's always been shuffly feeted (sic) small-talk. Whenever we've met we've got on just fine. He's a pretty solid bloke, Noel.
"I don't know what was going on with the whole Blur/Oasis thing. I tried to stay out of it, really. Will we be jamming together? I dunno, but I'm definitely open to suggestions!"

Liam Gallagher Says Beady Eye To Record Second Album Sometime This Year

Beady Eye frontman Liam Gallagher has told fans the band will commence the recording of their second album ‘sometime this year’ after what are expected to be their only live appearances in the UK of 2012 were completed last weekend.

Speaking to BBC 6Music ahead of Beady Eye’s spot supporting The Stone Roses at the second of the reunited band’s homecoming Heaton Park concerts on June 30th, Gallagher said he believes the new material is ‘sounding good’, but added there is more writing to be done before principal recording begins.

“It’s sounding good,” he said. “We’ve got a bit more writing to do, but we’ll go in and record some time this year. If Stone Roses and Beady Eye both release an album next year, everything will be alright.”

“The first album came straight off the back of Oasis splitting up and we just wanted to be in a band again, so we just went straight in and did it. This time, we’re taking our time a bit. We’re not worried with having to be out there, we’ll be there when the songs are absolutely bang on.

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.
