On This Day In Oasis History...

No comments


"Little By Little" is a song by British rock band Oasis, first released as the sixth track on their fifth studio album Heathen Chemistry. On September 23rd 2002, it was released with "She Is Love" as the first (and, so far, only) double A-sided single by the band, peaking at #2 in the UK Singles Chart Noel Gallagher provides lead vocals on both tracks, which he also wrote.

"Little By Little" was perhaps the most controversial song on the album, receiving mixed reviews from those who felt it was a classic example of an upbeat Oasis anthem and those who felt it was a twee, patronising, sycophantic melody. Regardless of this, the song managed to peak at number two in the UK charts based largely on the publicity garnered by the song.




















The promo video to the song featured a guest role by Robert Carlyle. The cover art for the single is an homage to Robert Indiana's LOVE artwork.



She Is Love

"She Is Love" is a song by British rock band Oasis, first released as the ninth track on their fifth studio album Heathen Chemistry. In September 2002, it was released with "Little by Little" as the first double A-sided single by the band, peaking at #2 in the UK Singles Chart. The song was written about Noel Gallagher's girlfriend Sara McDonald and is a light, acoustic song about being in love.

Gallagher claims it was written in the Buckingham Gate Hotel in London, and that it took 30 minutes to complete. The band commissioned British fashion art director Rachel Thomas to make a promo video for the song. However, the resulting film, a mix of animation and live action, has never been released on any format.

Video: Noel Gallagher On Oasis Reforming

No comments













Chris Moyles asked the Mancunian legend the question that’s on everyone’s minds. Well, if you had Noel on your show, you would, wouldn’t you?

“When’s Oasis getting back together?” Moyles asked Noel, who was a very special guest on the very first Radio X breakfast show this morning (Monday 21 September).

“I would think probably not in the very near future,” replied Noel, choosing his words carefully.

Asked by our man Moyles if he’d never say never, Gallagher added:

“One should never say never, should one look like a bit of an idiot somewhere down the road, when you’re waving a cheque for a quarter of a billion in The Sun!”

He admitted that he’d not even spoken to his brother Liam was when Manchester City won the Premier League in 2014.

“It’s not something I’m even remotely thinking about. Neither’s anyone else, as a matter of fact.”

In fact, Noel Gallagher has other shows to be plannning.

This morning, Chris Moyles announced The Radio X Road Trip With Chris Moyles, which will see the breakfast show head out to various cities around the UK with some very special shows.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds will play a huge homecoming gig at the O2 Apollo Manchester on 2 December. His special guest will be the legendary Johnny Marr, plus Neon Waltz and Pretty Vicious are also on the bill.

Noel Gallagher Hasn't Ruled Out An Oasis Reunion

No comments













Noel Gallagher momentarily raised our hopes for an Oasis reunion during an interview on Radio X on Monday, only to dash them again in the the same breath.

Noel was a guest on Chris Moyles’ breakfast show on the new radio station’s launch day, when he was quizzed about the rumours that he’d buried the hatchet with his brother Liam and was planning on reforming Oasis.

“Probably not in the very near future,” he explained. “One should never say never though…”

So far so possible. However the musician then added that it would take rather a lot of wonga for him to even entertain the idea.

“When someone’s waving a cheque for a quarter of a billion,” he added.

Boo.

He continued: “I’m sure there are countless, thousands of people who would love it [an Oasis reunion] but there’s one that wouldn’t…me.”

“I do say ‘we were together for 20 years, if you didn’t see us, tough’. I didn’t get to see the Sex Pistols.”

Noel, who last performed with Liam in 2009, also denied reports he was back on speaking terms with his younger brother.

“[I last saw him] when City won the league about 8-9 months ago… I don’t hang out with my family, I never did.”

Earlier this year, rumours began to fly that Oasis were planning on reforming without Noel.

A source told The Sun: “It’s very early days but the wheels are in motion. Liam, Guigsy, Bonehead and Tony are all interested and keen to see how it can work.

“They don’t seem to mind Noel not being on board, even though some fans won’t regard it as a proper Oasis reunion.

“But as Noel wants no part in the band, it’s the closest they are going to get to a full-scale comeback.”

Irish Pub Owner Wants Noel Gallagher To Finish His 20 Year Old Drink

No comments













An Irish pub-owner in London wants Oasis star Noel Gallagher to come back and finish his drink – from 1996.

Gallagher, who was born to Irish parents in Manchester, had a Jack Daniels and Coke in the Dublin Castle Bar in Camden Town after playing some songs from a demo for friends in the pub.

In an unusual move, the controversial star left half of his beverage behind with a note, thanking the bar staff for the drink.

Now, pub owner Henry Conlon is hoping the former Oasis frontman will come back to finish his JD and Coke.

“Noel came in and asked to play a demo, I think it was ideas for Be Here Now,” landlord Henry Conlon told The Camden New Journal. “He didn’t finish the drink and my mum said, ‘He’s important, let’s keep his drink’, and it’s still here now. Maybe Noel could come back and we can have a 20-year reunion, and play a few songs in the back room.”

Next year will mark the two-decade anniversary since Gallagher’s trip to the pub, so Mr Conlon is hoping the reunion will take place before then.

Gallagher is not the only famous face to grace the popular London pub.

Over the years since opening, the Dublin Castle has hosted gigs by international superstars from Amy Winehouse to Blur.

So far, Gallagher has yet to respond to the offer.

Noel Gallagher Calls On United Nations To Take Action In Syrian Refugee Crisis

No comments












Noel Gallagher has called on the United Nations to take action in the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis.

Thousands of people, including many families with young children, have been left stranded after leaving war-torn Syria and attempting to seek refuge in Europe. After initially saying the country would not accept any more refugees, the British government backtracked and announced plans for 20,000 people to enter the country in the next five years.

Speaking to NME at the AIM Awards in London last night, Gallagher was asked what he made of the UK's response to the crisis. Gallagher offered no opinion on PM David Cameron's decision to allow a relatively small number of refugees into Britain but did, however, offer criticism of the UN and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

"What I find fascinating is that the United Nations are sitting on their hands and no one has said a fucking thing about it," Gallagher said.

"What on earth was that assembly set up for, if not for things like this? It's a disgrace that the United Nations have not even called an assembly to ask, 'What is the world's reaction to this?' I think this is going to break up the European Union. And the only person that's going to benefit from that is Putin. He wants to break up the European Union so he can get the Soviet Union back together. That's what's going to happen."

Gallagher is the latest musician to speak out about the Syrian refugee crisis. Bob Geldof offered to take in four families immediately while U2's Bono said that "Europe will be no more" if the crisis is not dealt with properly.

Meanwhile, a campaign protesting recent right-wing arson attacks on refugees in Germany could lead to a punk band from the ’90s topping the country's singles chart this weekend.

Noel Gallagher Wants To Record A Future James Bond Theme

No comments











Noel Gallagher has said that he would record a Bond theme "in a heartbeat" if asked to.

It was announced yesterday that Sam Smith will release the official theme for new James Bond film Spectre with his song 'Writing's On The Wall' expected to be unveiled soon. Smith worked with Disclosure on the song, having previously denied his involvement in the project.

Speaking to NME at last night's AIM Awards, Gallagher laughed when told of Smith's involvement with Spectre.

Asked if he would record a future Bond theme, Gallagher was keen: "If I was asked," he said. "Fucking too right. I'd record a Bond theme in a heartbeat. But they usually want people who are famous in America, don't they? I'm only famous in Manchester. And bits of south London."

Smith had previously – and repeatedly – denied that he will be involved with the 24th Bond film, which is out on October 26. Just last week the singer told BBC Radio 2's Jo Whiley that he was "definitely not" working on the project. "That's not me. That's definitely not me," he said. "I've still got loads to do, I've got an Australia tour, but I kind of finish in December which is great, it gives me a chance to be in London, be in my home and go out with my friends."

Radiohead were the surprise bookies' favourites to record the theme following an anonymous £15,000 bet being placed on the likelihood of them performing the track.

Definitely Maybe was released on DVD on the 6th of September 2004 to mark the tenth anniversary of its original release. It went triple platinum in the UK.

The DVD featured an hour-long documentary about the recording of the album featuring rare and contemporary interviews with the band and its associates.

Also included was the album in its entirety, which included "Sad Song", which was originally only released on the UK vinyl version of the album and also on the Japanese CD edition. Other content included live and TV performances of the albums twelve tracks, and the promo videos to "Supersonic" (UK & US versions), "Shakermaker", "Live Forever" (UK & US versions), "Cigarettes & Alcohol" and "Rock 'n' Roll Star".

A limited-edition release in the UK and Ireland included a bonus DVD containing more live footage and anecdotes.

























There was also an accompanying made-for-TV documentary, entitled There We Were, Now Here We Are...: The Making Of Oasis. This was broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK at 11:30pm on Friday, 3 September , three days before the release of the Definitely Maybe DVD. The programme combined existing and unused interview footage from the DVD documentary and focused on the origins of the band, and the four singles from Definitely Maybe.

It also included a very rare clip of "All Around the World" performed live at a rehearsal session in the Boardwalk in 1992, five years before it was eventually recorded and released on Be Here Now. The DVD received the NME award for Best Music DVD. On This Day In Oasis History...
