Music: Daily Poll: Think the Oasis breakup is permanent?

  • OK, we know, we know. We forgot yesterday’s poll. It wasn’t anything intentional. Julius was trying to drag us out to a party, and we didn’t really want to go, but he talked us into it. And it wasn’t even that much fun, either. His friends are so robotic! Anyway, this poll is about the most obvious breakup ever – the row between Noel and Liam Gallagher of Oasis. The band may go on without him but they haven’t decided. Think he’s bluffing? Think he’s not? Vote. source

Music: Oasis revisited: Here’s five of Noel Gallagher’s best tunes

  • We admit it. Oasis was pretty much our favorite band between about 1995 and 1998 (when we switched over to Radiohead). Noel Gallagher, who just left the band, is a huge reason for that, of course. His songwriting – with just as much T. Rex in the mix as there was Lennon/McCartney – killed on the first two albums. Here’s five of our favorite Noel vocal tracks. Two are B-sides (including “Acquiesce,” which he sang the chorus on), one is a Noel-sung Chemical Brothers single from the era, one is a lean-era tune we’ll actually defend, and of course, this list wouldn’t be complete without “Don’t Look Back in Anger.” source

Music: *BREAKING NEWS* Liam and Noel Gallagher hate each other!

  • He doesn’t like me and I don’t like him, that’s it. He hasn’t told me what he thinks of anything this year. We’ve got nothing to say to each other at the moment. … The only time I see him is onstage and we’re a little bit busy (at) that time to be (#&(ing scratching each other.
  • Oasis singer Liam Gallagher • Discussing the hate-hate relationship between the two creative beacons of Britpop’s greatest icons (if not the ones with the strongest legacy). And really, we’d be sad if they weren’t fighting. • source

Music: Dear Blur: Welcome back. We missed you. <3 Damon & Graham

  • The Britpop icons made their live re-debut over the weekend, and we couldn’t be happier clams. Sure, Gorillaz was good, but Blur is Blur. OK? source
