"We just believe we're the best band in the world. We're not arrogant, that's just a fact."

Noel Gallagher is a ledge. he has so many great quotes :P. and they're almost always right. and controversial. I was reading this one in Q magazine today:

"I don't give a fuck what spotty little indie bands think about me. My peers are fucking Bono and Chris Martin and Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. I don't give a fuck about what some twat from The Wombats thinks of Oasis, or anyone from the fucking Last Shadow Puppets, y'know? I'm not arsed about any of them. They're so far beneath me it's unbelieveable"

So true! Oasis are a league above. I hope new albums' good. If their new single's anything to go by it should be. Have a butchers:

Buff video too init?

ANYWAY... away from oasis...

this new itunes. you click on a song and it brings up a list of songs by that artist you dont have. which is ok, except it's like tis pressuring you to buy them. acutally most people probably dont see it that way. but i do. there is a pretty cool thing on it called 'genius', though. click this little 'genius' icon, and it gives you songs similar to the one you've picked, or ones that go well with it. and it hasnt gone wrong yet. better than the one they used to have, which once suggested to me: you own 'Let It Bleed' by 'Rolling Stones', you may be interested in 'Crazy In Love' by 'Beyonce'.

No thankyou.

Silly, silly machines. I say machines. For all i know apple could have loads of people in China processing every single person's Itunes requests. like when someone clicks their genius thing and they have like 5 people all rushing about finding songs like that. tis like those 20Q things. i bet they have microphones in them, and theres hordes of people listening intently to see if they can pick out what you're trying to make it guess. still that's a better job than sewing primark t-shirts until their fingers are bloody for 4 pence and hour. but hey, that's what they're pay for ;)

HAHA! It suggested "Crazy In Love"?! Like the article, especially the little dig at Chinese child labour ;).

Oasis ARE gods of British music. Too right he should have a go at the critics from *cough* up and coming bands. Personally, I had a listen to "The Shock of the Lightning" a few weeks back. And was thoroughly unimpressed. Did NOT see (well, hear) anything special about it :S. But that opinion may change if I give it another listen.

And that is uncanny o.O! ONLY an hour ago did I find out what butcher's meant. I didn't even INTEND to find out; just fell upon it :O! And then I read your article...how weird is that?!
