In an interview Monday, singer-songwriter Ryan Adams compared the latest Oasis release, Dig Out Your Soul, to Radiohead’s most experimental album, Kid A, saying the new Oasis material represents a new brand of music experimentation for the Manchester five-piece. If so, it’s about four albums late, but I’m definitely curious ... read more |

Though Liam immediately debunked rumors of giving away the album for free (a la Radiohead and Coldplay, whose fans he thinks “are boring and ugly and they don't look like they're having a good time"), Oasis will be giving away copies of sheet music for three as-of-yet heard tracks with the purchase of this weeks NME magazine. ... read more |

Welcome to the CB Friday Flash, where we cap the week in music and look forward to the weekend in concerts. And what a week it was. Especially if you happen to be named either Kanye West or Oasis. We've got all the latest on Kanye's new song, new album, and latest bust. We've also got AC/DC tour news, and how Oasis connected with a fan this week ... read more |

Rather than allowing download sites to hand out their songs to the masses, they’re doing it with real, live street musicians. It’s like a free Internet song giveaway, but cooler because the songs are performed live, and by random hobos. If free downloads became such a successful trend, I definitely hope this does, too ... read more |

Noel Gallagher has presented the official list of top 10 bands of all time, per Oasis. The criteria are strict: No solo artists allowed. No collectives allowed. No female artists allowed. Wait, so does this mean Blondie is not a band? What about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs? I doubt Joan Jett and the Blackhearts would take this lightly ... read more |

English indie outfit Kaiser Chiefs responded Monday after falling beneath the unrelenting crosshairs of slander-spouting Brit-pop rail gun Noel Gallagher. Gallagher spanked the band rather sharply Friday, comparing them to the Monkees and denying any love for the band, even at the heights of intoxicated jollity ... read more |

This is just a hunch, but this may be referring to Noel’s “I’m not having it” comment regarding Jay-Z’s headlining slot in the Glastonbury music festival earlier this year. It was admittedly a bold statement from the axe-wielding Brit who occasionally speaks his mind a little too loud. Even though he was completely, entirely right ... read more |

His loss could own up to a couple of things. One is that there are too few Blur fans who follow Labour Party politics living in Westminster. Another is that Noel Gallagher, who is also reported to live in the area, is stirring fear in the hearts of would-be turnouts. But I think something far more subtle is going on ... read more |

It’s raining outside. Noah’s Ark day thirty-eight level rain too, not some whimpy droplets of condensation. I’d even call it a deluge. The wind is punish-fucking my bushes, maybe even crying Mary, and the thunder and lightening are more boisterous than twenty world class drag queens ... read more |

Have I ever told you how much I love Jay-Z? Well, I do. I’m not a big fan of the whole hip-hop movement, but Jay-Z, well, he’s a mother-fucking rock star ... read more |

I’m going to say something a lot of people have been thinking. Oasis has really let me down over the last few years. Not musically. Their work has been fine. I’m talking about in chicanery. The Gallagher brothers used to be good for at least two verbal spats and three break-up rumors a week ... read more |

For a major UK festival that has seen the likes of Arcade Fire, David Bowie and Oasis, it seems Jay-Z, Kings of Leon and even Massive Attack just don’t add up. It’s no wonder then that promoters are practically giving away tickets to this month’s Glastonbury Festival via HMV in hopes to sell-out the June 27-29 outdoor music marathon ... read more |

No other phenomenon can explain Oasis tribute bands (they seem just as argumentative as the originals), idol worship for Ewan McGregor, the simultaneously vitalizing and devastating power of Vanity Faire, and 35 nearly identical versions of the quote, “It was like … something was happening … but no one quite knew what it WAS” ... read more |

In one corner we have Jay-Z, president of Def Jam, husband of Beyonce, leader of the rap world. In the other corner we have Noel Gallagher, guitarist for Oasis, admitted pilferer of riffs, beggar of current relevance. One spends his time imagining what’s left for him to do while the other hunches over a stereo tape recorder in hand listening to others’ songs ... read more |

There’s no story here, morning glory. Those three Oasis songs you may have heard that supposedly leaked from the bands upcoming album later this year are “old” according to the bands spokesperson. “I Wanna Live in a Dream in my Record Machine,” “Nothing on me” and “Stop the Clocks” have been deemed nothing but a tease ... read more |
