The Smiths - You've Got Everything Now (Live at the Hacienda)

The Fight That Killed Oasis

A brief synopsis of the row in France that ended it all:

-

Liam was playing guitar backstage.

Noel criticised Liam's playing.

Liam threw his own guitar at Noel.

The guitar landed at Noel's feet.

Noel jumped up and down on it, laughing.

Liam realised he'd just smashed his own guitar.

Liam grabbed Noel's guitars and smashed them up.

Noel stopped laughing, Liam started.

Noel said 'fuck this' and got in a cab.

End of Oasis.

Doves - Kingdom of Rust mp3

Not sure how long this will stay posted, as it's the title track and official single from their new album and I'm sure the band would rather you bought it than d/l it from here.

But, it's the best advert for the new album, which is EXCELLENT. Hopefully this will persuade you to go and buy it.

Oasis Live in Liverpool

Oasis kicked off their UK tour at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on Tuesday night. It was a live debut for their new drummer (former Robbie Williams drummer and scouser Chris Sharrock, who replaces Ringos' boy Zack Starkey).

*

They were introduced as "the best band in the world" by boxer Ricky Hatton, who added that if anyone tried to push Noel off the stage (in reference to this incident last month) then he'd give them a slap. Needless to say, the band went unmolested all night.

Elbow - Back To Black (Amy Winehouse cover) mp3

This has been knocking about for a few weeks now, but it's very good, so I thought I might as well post it for archiving purposes.
