Oasis Are Fascists! | Alan McGee Thought So Purely Because Of Union Jack Flag

Although I’m proud to be British, I’m also aware of the UK’s history as an empire builder, which wasn’t the glorious time in our past that many would have you believe. Basically, we went around invading countries, and claiming them for ourselves. Kind of like the USA is doing now.

In light of that, the Union […]

Oasis’ New Album ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ Track Listing & Artwork - ‘Falling Down’ Leaked

I have a love and hate relationship with Oasis. I love the music, or the bulk of it at least, but hate some of the attitude that comes from the band, with Liam Gallagher being the particular pain in the arse. Although, having said that, he seems to have been very quiet and subdued of […]

Oasis’ Noel Gallagher Criticises Radiohead | ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ Will Not Be Free

Radiohead have received almost nothing but praise for challenging music industry standards when they released In Rainbows on to the Internet last year, and invited people to pay what they wanted for the privilege of downloading the album.
In effect, this meant you could nab a brand new album by one of the best British […]

Jay-Z Triumphs At Glastonbury | A Performance Enough To Silence The Haters?

Jay-Z finally took to the stage last night to fulfil his headline slot at the 2008 Glastonbury Festival. The gig was one of the most talked about of the year before it even happened, with many people feeling that Jay-Z and hip-hop weren’t right for a traditionally indie music festival.
I wrote a long piece last […]

Jay-Z Blasts The “Ridiculous” Glastonbury Controversy | Why The Hip-Hop Hate?

When Jay-Z was announced as a headliner for this year’s Glastonbury festival, it caused no end of controversy, and consternation amongst regular Glasto-goers who weren’t happy with the booking. In the run-up to this weekend’s festival, Jay-Z has now come out and had his say on the whole thing.
Unsurprisingly, Jay-Z things the controversy is “ridiculous” […]

Paul Weller Talks The Jam Reunion - Buckler & Foxton’s ‘From The Jam’ Is “A Bit Cabaret”

The Jam, with the Modfather Paul Weller at the helm, were the kings of the late 70s and early 80s. More musically competent than punk bands such as The Sex Pistols, they lead the era of the mod revival, and became the voice of a lost generation.
However, all good things come to an end, and […]

Kaiser Chiefs Versus Oasis - Ricky Wilson Claims New Album Means They Are Kings

Whenever a band have a new album ready for release, and they’ve been away for a while, it’s almost a guarantee that one of the members will start mouthing off against some other band in an effort to get some free publicity, and their name back on the tips of everyone’s tongue.
Oasis are no strangers […]
