Noel Gallagher has been offered free lager for life.Tennent's Lager has vowed to construct a bar within the 'Cigarettes and Alcohol' hitmaker's home and fill it with the beverage whenever he feels like downing a pint after he described the drink as the ''best beer in the world''.Jane Cannon, marketing manager for Tennent's Lager, said: ''Some might say it's the ultimate rock and roll gift for Noel - his very own bar, which will always be fully stocked.''We've nicknamed it the 'Lager Supernova' and I'm sure it will help to host more than a few epic parties once it's installed.''The company is planning to install a 'Live Forever' hotline next to the bar so the 'Champagne Supernova' star can ring in at any time to request more lager.

"We live in crazy times where the music on the radio is so bland and safe, and you turn on the news and it's so horrific, like videos of people getting burned in cages and fucking shit like that. It used to be the other way round: the news was Neil Kinnock, Tony Blair, whatever, and the radio was 'Bittersweet Symphony', 'Get Your Rocks Off', 'Supersonic'."

corollary tho for music writers that are only interested in the next 16 yr old. seems a pairing of groups that must ever circle each other warily and tbh ilm would be a lot better of ignoring them both and carrying on with whatever ilm was going to do before it got distracted. another poll I suppose.

his appearance on motd2 was next-level grim. saying 'the brodge' over and over again followed with a little beady-eyed smirk, everyone in the studio force-roaring with laughter like he'd just burped gold. like he's the CEO's spoilt child, humour him or else. awful small-minded unfunny man, gives off the vibe that he truly believes he could forge a new career as a stand-up comedian if only he could be bothered. baffling how he's got this reputation as a scathing wit - hasn't said anything truly witty in years and even then that 'man soup fork' line is only 5/10 on the smarts scale

Esquire UK cover story
Radiohead? When do people listen to them? Is it when they go out, or is it when they come in? Because I’m struggling to think.
I tell you what I think about Liam and this is just an opinion. He would fucking aggressively disagree. He was rightly put up there as this fucking huge rock star but he didn’t write a note, not a word. From my perspective I don’t know how comfortable I’d feel about the mania surrounding us, and you knowing in your fucking soul that you were responsible for really wearing the clothes.
Morning Glory was slated when it came out. And then when it became the biggest thing ever – and I’ve been told this by two editors – they thought, “We’re not going to be caught out next time.” And they lauded Be Here Now, which was clearly a shit fucking album, full of fat fucking rock stars, and then they got caught out again. And they never forgave us. They were just like, “Wankers. We can’t fucking get on it.”

i genuinely love the excess of BHN.its just so one dimensional in its love for widescreen imax sonic overload.the fact that its main creator is now in denial about its coked up brilliance makes me think it could be the best oasis album ever.

― piscesx, Thursday, 5 November 2015 20:53 (eight years ago) link
id gone off oasis by the time bhn came out and entirely for superficial, non-musical reasons (i was a teenager, oasis were ubiquitous, and weren't cool). despite this i listened to the album because if it was as good as the previous two i would've said f being cool and listened to it. it's awful. d'you know what i mean as lead single, urgh

due to my own personal emo connection i have not heard BHN in a very long time.so, i have just listened to it on my upgraded hi-fi.its even better/madder than i remembered.the excess is insane, and the floorstanders reveal so much more.there is not a second of sonic space in the mix.i think i love it even more now.could this be the last massive budget album ever ?

Be Here Now - 9/10 Vox, Aug 1997. Dele Fadele wrote it.
― Master of Treacle, Thursday, 5 November 2015 23:42 (eight years ago) link
That's exactly right. In the UK music press, Morning Glory was reckoned to be a disappointing follow-up to Definitely Maybe. Everyone felt it was a load of toss-offs and that Champagne Supernova and the title track were the only decent bits. I remember Hello was thought to be a particularly rotten opener, with its Gary Glitter lift. Q, which was arguably the journal of record, gave it a two-/maybe three-star review and then ended up honouring it st their awards after it had gone up like a rocket. Noel came and accepted the Best Album award "on behalf of a crap album with crap lyrics" or words v much to that effect.No-one wanted to be similarly wrong-footed by By Here Now, and everyone knew it would be instantly massive, so it was near enough five-star reviews across the board, almost to a suspicious extent, as if editors were all making their pitch for ongoing interview access. The critical consensus quickly fell away when everyone heard it, but the first word from the music press was wall-to-wall raves. No-one wanted to prick the bubble. And also, it sounded big, so it could briefly be confused for good, whether it was or not. I don't usually post, but I read the music press avidly in those days, and that is what happened.
