Below is a small article from today's Daily Star. It suggests Liam Gallagher was shooting something with director Nigel Dick, who worked with Oasis on the videos for Rock ’n’ Roll Star and Wonderwall,
Liam Gallagher loves a quiet night in enjoying tea and biscuits. Nigel Dick who directed a number of Oasis music videos says he is addicted to PG Tips and digestives. He said: "We were shooting in LA so I sent out one of the assistants to get as much English food and drink as they could find. "He bought back PG Tips and digestives, so I set up a little outdoor garden and gave Liam his own tea party, and he loved it. "After his cuppa and digestives, he was a gem to instruct.
"Shakermaker" is a song by British rock group Oasis, written by their lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. First appearing as a single, released on the 13th June 1994, which peaked at number 11 in the UK charts, it was later released on Oasis' groundbreaking debut album Definitely Maybe. It was also the first song performed by the band on the UK's world famous music program, Top Of The Pops.
Gallagher admits the lyrics are taken from the world around him, for example, a Shaker Maker was a popular toy in the 1970s, the character of "Mr Soft" was taken from a Trebour Soft Mints commercial, which featured Cockney Rebel's song "Mr Soft", "Mr. Clean" is a song by The Jam, one of Gallagher's favourite bands, "Mr Benn" is a British children's cartoon and the entire last verse - Mr Sifter sold me songs/When I was just 16/Now he stops at traffic lights/But only when they're green - was written in a taxi on the way to the recording studio to record the song. Apparently, Liam Gallagher was pestering Noel to finish the song. At this point, the taxi stopped at the traffic lights outside 'Sifter's"' (a record shop in Burnage, Manchester). Noel penned the lyric and it became part of the song. Noel used to frequent the store to buy old records before Oasis started releasing albums and Mr Sifter refers to the owner of the record store.

Liam Gallagher has hit out at the makers of the forthcoming Oasis documentary for deciding to premiere the film in London rather than Manchester.
The band’s former frontman slammed the filmmakers and appeared to blame his brother Noel Gallagher for the choice of venue.
Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, the singer wrote: “So check this out apparently some clown trying to tell me this film about my f****** band yeah MY band is not premiering in MCR iFTOTB.”
He added: “Your so called mighty 1 only up for London premier as you were you porcelain k***.
“If I have to come and knock on your door you'll get it popcorn and DVD.”
Gallagher had previously been supportive of the new film, which is being produced by James Gay-Rees and directed by Mat Whitecross and Amy’s Asif Kapadia.
According to reports, the band gave the film crew ‘unprecedented’ access to unseen archive footage as well as giving new interviews.
Gallagher previously described the project as ‘biblical’ after watching an early cut of the film last month.
So check this out apparently some clown trying to tell me this film about my fucking band yeah MY band is not premiering in MCR iFTOTB Your so called mighty 1 only up for London premier as you were you porcelain knob If I have to come and knock on your door you'll get it popcorn and DVD
