Quote of the Day

"I have taken legal action against Noel Gallagher for statements he made claiming Oasis pulled out of the 2009 V festival Chelmsford gig because I had a hangover. That is a lie."

-- Liam Gallagher

It's apparently still the 90s.

Well, at least that means I won't be able to remember my weekend come Monday morning.

It's been quite a while since Oasis -- who were always one of my favorite bands -- released anything that really knocked me flat. Well, one half of the constantly warring and insufferably dickheaded Gallagher brothers is back, along with just about every other member of Oasis besides Noel, with a new project called Beady Eye.

And I've gotta say -- their first single is a real scorcher.

Here's Bring the Light.

Listening Post

Say what you will about the fact that these guys were, for a pretty fair chunk of time, the biggest, most unapologetic assholes in rock and roll -- they cranked out some damn spectacular music during their run. And this song remains one of my favorites from them.

Here's the mighty Oasis -- Stop Crying Your Heart Out.

Don't Look Back in Anger

This clip has been used in about a dozen different parodies over the past year or so, but this is the first one that actually made me laugh out loud.

Quote of the Week (Sibling Rivalry Edition)

"As a result of an altercation within the band, the Oasis gig has been canceled."

-- Message flashed to crowd waiting for Oasis to take the stage for their scheduled show in Paris on Friday

Noel Gallagher apologized to those who'd already bought tickets and were, you know, sitting there like idiots waiting for the notoriously volatile and unreliable band to take the stage -- but he released a statement not long after the cancellation saying that he's leaving Oasis once and for all because he can't work "a day longer" with his asshole brother, Liam.

(It's worth mentioning that during my lifetime, I've had tickets to see Oasis three times, but have only actually seen them live once; the other two times they canceled at the last minute.)

Listening Post

Say what you will about these guys, they continue to write great pop songs.

Here's Oasis -- I'm Outta Time.

From the upcoming release Dig Out Your Soul, it's brand new Oasis -- The Shock of Lightning.
