sorry Matt but your last album was shit, the apparent 'single of the year' sounds like Rick Wakeman playing 'White Wedding' and Rick Rubin will always, always piss on you from a very great height. If you want a lesson on how to produce, listen to a Rick Rubin album, if you want to know what a speed comedown feels like, listen to a Muse album.

i literally have no idea why people don't think it would be amazing. The first 3 Oasis albums (the best ones) are all 100% Noel written. Liam's written 2 good songs in his whole life.

'Top Of The Pops' to return in 'post-'Blue Peter' timeslot'?

Tue 27 Jan, 2009

Comments (1)

the top 40 appeals to younger kids anyway, so it would probably do well there. And when proper music gets into the charts it would be exposed to younger kids and maybe we'll end up with a country that likes music and not 'music'. One day there may not even be an Alexandra Burke!

X Factor is fine, and what they do is fine, some people like that it's up to them. But at some point along the thought process should have stopped and gone, 'we can't cover this - that idea is appalling, taht's the greatest song ever'. I can't believe she agreed to it, bet she hadn't even heard it before someone else played it to her

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Oasis and Noel Gallagher, I listen to The Russell Brand Show every week and think Noel is one of the best bits but it does strike me as odd that everything he says is front-page NME news, especially when it's not even controversial. Something's going on, whether it's just lazy journalism or some sort of deal to keep NME readership above double figures or to keep Oasis in the news.
