Oasis @ Glastonbury 2014

LONDON - The topless girl @ Oasis Glastonbury 2004.
Bookmakers have slashed the odds on Oasis headlining the Saturday night of Glastonbury 2014 (that is, Noel joining Beady Eye).
The Gallagher-fronted band were previously 16/1 to headline the Pyramid Stage next year but those odds have dropped to 9/1 following a rush of bets over the past week. Paddy Power have also cut the odds on the band reforming from 12/1 to 5/1 and Oasis are now at 11/2 to release an album of new material by the end of 2015.
Alternatively, Noel Gallagher is 20/1 to headline the festival on his own in the slot previously claimed by the likes of Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, Jay Z and, this year, The Rolling Stones. Paddy Power are not, however, currently offering odds on Beady Eye topping the bill in 2014 (of course, there's no tour every year).
Despite the reduced odds, Oasis still remain an outside bet to headline the Worthy Farm festival next year with Foo Fighters, David Bowie and Daft Punk still favourites with the bookies. Dave Grohl and co. are odds on at 4/1 while Bowie and Daft Punk are at 8/1.
Bookmakers have slashed the odds on Oasis headlining the Saturday night of Glastonbury 2014.
A spokesperson for Paddy Power said: "We've seen a lot of money being placed on Noel and Liam burying the hatchet, reforming, and rocking Glastonbury – it's enough to make anyone think there could be an expensive divorce or paternity claim just around the corner."
Other bands and artists included in the latest odds include Kasabian, Elbow, Fleetwood Mac, Prince and Rihanna. Popstar Olly Murs is a long shot with odds of 100/1. See below for a full list of Glastonbury Saturday night 2014 headliner odds:

Foo Fighters - 4/1
David Bowie - 8/1
Daft Punk - 8/1
Kasabian - 8/1
Oasis - 9/1
Elbow - 9/1
Fleetwood Mac - 12/1
The Stone Roses - 12/1
The Killers - 12/1
Prince - 14/1
Rihanna - 20/1
Lily Allen - 20/1
Noel Gallagher - 20/1 (he's got even less chances than Oasis... desperate)
Bob Dylan - 20/1
Depeche Mode - 20/1
Black Sabbath - 33/1
Olly Murs - 100/1

Pretty Green spring-summer 2014

LONDON - Pretty Green gears up for a colourful season with its Spring/ Summer 2014 collection. With a backdrop of psychedelic colours and influences of the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour the collection heads off on a 60’s vibe.
With a heritage steeped in music, the brand is deeply rooted in the great rock and roll decades of rebellion and self-expression. While continuing with the classic pieces that demonstrate this strong identity, the SS14 collection also offers new pieces with equal measures of attitude. Think an explosion of colour, all-over prints, pops of graphics and lots of key shapes.
The collection uses many of the strong graphical images from Magical Mystery Tour, which are manipulated to create a new fresh set of prints. The prints are bold and give an individual feel to garments, mixed with a kaleidoscope of colour and used to update classic polo’s, and other key pieces. There’s an emblematic interpretation of strong motifs within the range, seen in the ‘we are altogether’ and ‘ we love’ print tee’s.
Colour is cleverly used to hint at the connection this includes the development of a new paisley, a piece of PG signature style, driven by the pantone colours of Magical Mystery tour. The star symbol is used as an inspiration across many of the punchy bold designs, either printed, embroidered or devore style. Other icons include the introduction of the Walrus badge used throughout the range, paying homage to the music that inspired the film.
The classic ‘Fool on the hill’ jacket, famously worn by McCartney, with its strong military style is lifted with the use of Italian nylon to give it a lightweight feel. The stadium jacket speaks for itself with detailing reminiscent of the on stage pieces as worn by Liam himself but with undertones of all things sixties. The Harrison denim jacket, a favourite every season, has a heavy duty washed out and worn look like its been on the road for a while. The highlight outerwear piece is the leather ‘Egg man’ jacket given a second skin feel yet with a hardware edge.
Pat Salter, Design Director, commented ‘There is such a rich tapestry of inspiration to draw on when you look back over our great British music history. The magical mystery tour is one of those events that sticks out as moment in time. We don’t want to replicate we’re just immersed in trying to recapture the feel of all that interesting British melting pot of colour and style.’
This collection delivers a mixture of true to brand outerwear pieces peppered with beautiful fabrics and materials, delicate suede shirts to delicately embellished kaftan’s from the Liam Gallagher collection. Featuring many of the heritage PG shapes in a Beatle influenced guise with true flashes of rock inspiration grasped from Liam’s inimitable style.
The brands rich lineage prevails across the breath of the collection delivering strong visual impact that honours our great British music heritage.

Man City-AC Milan MAD

MUNICH - So very Oasis. Captain Tsubasa result. Never seen anything like this, 5-3 in 45 minutes. There should have been Mario Balotelli and the others.

What a wrong sentence from the commentator on Tv... the media darling NOEL Gallagher was NOT there when Manchester City won, both FA Cup and League.

Liam went to the stadium and City won the first cup in 35 years, Noel wasn't there. Liam calls him a scaredy cat and a fake City fan (in fact, he supports Celtic - unlike his wife, supporting Rangers, and hates his music).
- Noel was @ 3 City games @ stadium in 2011/12 -> 3 defeats
- City speaks about Noel with Balotelli for one week -> 2 other defeats, United +8 points
- but at the end Liam goes to the stadium and City wins the first league in 44 years (shirt that LIAM had presented)

more from the jinx Noel:

- Noel supported England 2018 -> Russia won
- the other year, Noel: "justice will be done with 'them fucking communist' West Ham relegated" -> West Ham relegated
- Noel song "What a life" for England @ Euro 2012 -> England lost (well, nothing new)
- said England will beat Italy on penalties -> Italy dominated and won on penalties

- bets on Russell Brand short marriage -> they split quickly

- NOEL presented Manchester City shirt 2013 -> ... -> won nothing, a total disaster
- blamed Mancini then says Mancini is a magician (classic insecure Noel) -> City out of the Champions League, unbelievable last position, and Europa League

- the Premier League ends months before May, with City too far from United
- etc.
- Noel was @ FA Cup final vs WIGAN and said City could win with 8 men, and one netting a hat-trick... -> City ridiculously lost

Glitter made £1million from Noel Gallagher

LONDON - This is one of (many) things (that I had repeated a thousand times) that Noel's blinded fans are not able to understand. They are in a hypnotic trance.
Funny how this article calls NOEL as "Oasis".

Pop paedo Gary Glitter has raked in £1million of royalties after Oasis used a clip of one of his hits.
The shamed glam rocker will “continue to earn pots of cash for many years” from Oasis track Hello.
It is the opening song on (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? and includes the lyric ‘Hello, hello, it’s good to be back’, from Glitter’s 1973 hit Hello, Hello, I’m back again.
The 1995 Oasis album has sold 22 million worldwide.
Glitter, 69 — real name Paul Gadd — gets a payment for each album sold, or when the song is played on the radio or internet.
He is entitled to the cash as he is still credited as the co-writer of Hello — despite receiving an estimated £200,000 for copyright infringement after taking legal action against Oasis in 1999.
Music lawyer Craig Brookes said Hello could have earned Glitter £1million — on top of £300,000 a year or more from royalties linked to his back catalogue of songs.
He said: “It’s distasteful, but sadly he is legally entitled to the money — despite being an awful human being.” Glitter was jailed for four months in 1999 for downloading child porn. In 2006, he was caged in Vietnam for molesting two girls. He served almost three years.
He was also quizzed by cops investigating paedophile Jimmy Savile. Last night the Performing Rights Society said it would continue to collect royalties for Glitter, one of its members.

Pisapippa si crede Batman

MILANO - E anche Cenerentola. Che ignorante.

Le turiste si lamentano anche delle zanzare, a Milano sembra di essere in campagna. Da quando c'è "Pisapirla" non si vedono più passare i camioncini che spruzzano la roba sulle piante, che mica morivano.
"...la politica AMBIENTALE di Pisapia (fa pagare le macchine MA ANCHE aumenta il prezzo dei mezzi - il maanchisimo di Veltroni, un successone)... oltre che scarsamente risolutiva, è altamente crudele nei confronti dei cittadini. Milano si è trasformata in una palude più pericolosa delle foreste australiane sul finire della stagione delle piogge"

Lui combatte le zanzare coi pipistrelli... sì BATMAN salvaci tu! portacelo via!

Colpo di scena di genio: disinfestazione zanzare a fine estate.
Che presa per il culo...

Tanto i radical chic mica hanno passato neanche 1 giorno d'estate a Milano, loro vanno alle Bahamas. Vuoi non andare minimo alle Seychelles? ma che barbone sei.
Loro la zanzara tigre l'hanno incontrata di persona nei loro safari in Africa, quando sono andati "per salvare il mondo", tipo Veltroni.

"I Verdi sono dei fottuti hippie. E' da cinquant'anni che ci dicono di non usare gli aerosol, altrimenti il cielo crolla. Beh, visto che gli scienziati siete voi, fate qualcosa. Come pensano di dire a 50 milioni di cinesi che non hanno bisogno del frigo? O come riusciranno a far sì che 700 milioni di americani smettano di usare le loro stupide auto enormi?" (per la cronaca, i cinesi sono 1 miliardo e 300 milioni e gli americani 300 milioni). "Loro dicono sempre: dobbiamo lasciare un pianeta più sicuro per i nostri figli. Beh, io ad esempio la macchina non ce l'ho. Abito vicino al centro di Londra e vado a piedi dappertutto (io idem - però abbiamo l'autista :). Questo è il mio piccolo contributo. Uso i trasporti pubblici, cammino, così non intaso le strade con gli scarichi di benzina e tutta quella roba. Se finisco il latte, vado al supermarket e faccio la fila come tutti. Ve lo immaginate Elton John a fare la fila per pagare il latte? Ma di cosa hanno paura stelle come Robbie Williams o Elton John? Che qualcuno gli possa dire 'ciao' per strada?"

(Noel Gallagher, "them fucking communists")

In compenso però lui è uno "scaredy cat" per il resto...

il tutto serve per incoraggiare l'utilizzo della bicicletta, da bravi ecologisti radical chic... Sono quelli che rompono i coglioni con la bicicletta sui marciapiedi...

"Accorrete! Venite anche voi nel più grande Parco di Guerra Urbano del Mondo! Rapine con le molotov! Clandestini col piccone! Minorenni sui SUV che investono Vigili!"
Ma attenzione: secondo Pisapirla è colpa dei cittadini che lasciano robe pericolose in giro... quei discolacci disattenti.

Ci sono extracomunitari ovunque e ora in tutte le recensioni dei turisti ci sono i "venditori" di braccialetti (ti obbligano a prenderli) che li infastidiscono... e pensano che siano milanesi.

A Milano è vietato il gelato dopo la mezzanotte... ma chi si crede di essere "Pisapippa"... Cenerentola?!
che deve rientrare a casa in tempo?
Il Comune di Milano ha poi rimosso il comunicato...perché dichiarava il divieto del gelato... Dicono che è stato un errore... vorrei ben vedere se fosse il contrario...
(loro rettificano sempre... classico sbianchetto sinistro).
Vietato anche mangiare la torta al parco (multato un bambino).

Chissà come mai Pisapirla ormai piace solo a quelli che a Milano non ci abitano... Gli anti-milanesi (e ce ne sono tanti, che rosicano). Oltre ai danni, la beffa: lui dice che Milano è rinata. Sicuro, rinata male.

L'Estonia (la tundra) ha superato Milano (la Scala, Verdi, Rossini, Puccini, Donizetti, ecc.) per numero di spettacoli teatrali... oggi se vai a Milano e parli di Bellini si pensa all’aperitivo.
Ovviamente poi il LiveMi per le band dei giovani di Red Ronnie è stato cancellato (così come non c'è più l'Heineken Jammin' Festival - mentre il Milano City Sound è organizzato da privati), così come cancellato il progetto per piazza John Lennon.
Quando c'è qualcosa organizzato da Pisapia, succede sempre qualche casino.

E ci sarebbero da aggiungere molte cose...
(per non parlare della storia di Dolce & Gabbana - la sinistra si crede la giustizia - anche perchè poi i giudici sono di sinistra - e li condanna già, come se questa gente tipo Pisapia, Penati, ecc. fossero dei santi - e poi danno i soldi ai rom che ammazzano i vigili, e lasciano i centri sociali abusivi).

Poi nel suo programmone c'è scritto: "OLTRE alla moschea", quella è ovvia, tanto di problemi in Italia non ce ne sono mica.
Punto d'incontro tra omo e Islam... ah magari si inculano a vicenda?
Perchè c'era bisogno di fare Milano "Mecca dei gay". Milano è famosa per essere abitata da soli eterosessuali eh. Ora si sono completamente estinti. Tanto che ci frega, ciulare si ciula lo stesso, magari in maniera "alternativa", perchè che palle con sto missionario (vuoi mettere con la pecorina dei Verdi?), e i bambini nascono sotto i cavoli ecologici o li porta li cicogna ambientalista, e poi li adottano le coppie gay... così funziona (bene) il mondo, dovete aggiornarvi!

Il Brasile (governo di sinistra) aumenta del 10% il prezzo dei trasporti e sta succedendo quasi una guerra.

Milano ("governo" di sinistra) ha aumentato del 50% il prezzo dei mezzi pubblici... (oltre all'Ecopass).

Poi dicono: è per i buchi nel bilancio... Classica scusa dell'ufficio sinistri: è colpa del governo precedente. Allora lasciamo il governo precedente, perchè quando si cambia si va sempre peggio.

Un sinistro a Milano poi è anomalo.
Poi pare che le nuove linee della metropolitana per l'Expo 2015 (che qualcuno crede ci sia grazie a lui) non verranno completate.

Come si fa a votare sinistra (quelli "dalla parte della gente"... creando povertà) 24 anni dopo la caduta del muro di Berlino... questi sono ancora comunisti. Ragazzini che non erano ancora nati e fanno le manifestazioni (lost generation), ovviamente per bigiare la scuola... non sia mai che poi imparino qualcosa... Non sanno ancora che quelli usano la politica per arricchirsi e tassano anche la (poca) aria che respiri.

Il peggior sindaco di sempre.

Beady Eye new video

Shine a light, someone please tell Robbie Williams there's a refrain or he can't sleep.
It pulls the rare and commendable move of using the Bo Diddley beat in 2013, includes scenes involving Liam Gallagher surrounded by naked women. The promo for the song, which features on the band's new album BE, features clips of the band with scenes of Liam wearing sunglasses and laying down among the group of women. Another scene shows the band enjoying a medieval style feast with a model (and Liam) dressed as a nun

Beady Eye @ Benicassim

BENICASSIM - headlining Benicassim festival, more videos soon.
go Liam! legend.

goes to shake hands with fans as always, scaredy cat Noel never did this

Juventus target: Jovetic @ City

MANCHESTER - From Florence, near where Beady Eye just played.
Juventus were already calling him "Juvetic", sure they would have bought him ahaha
just like Aguero, "Juventus target" for years...

Manchester City are delighted to announce the signing of Stevan Jovetic from Italian Fiorentina.
The 23-year-old Montenegro international will now join up with his new team-mates.
One of European football’s most coveted young strikers, Jovetic spent five seasons in Serie A with Fiorentina after previously playing for Partizan Belgrade, where he made club history by captaining the team aged only 19.
He scored 23 goals in 61 games for the Serbian club before moving to Italy in 2008 for a fee in the region of £8m.
His five seasons with La Viola yielded 40 goals from 134 appearances, though he missed the entire 2010/11 campaign after injuring his cruciate ligament.
In Europe, he has scored against Liverpool and Bayern Munich - among others - and at international level, he captained his country for the Under-21s, aged only 17. He has also represented the senior Montenegro side since 2007, playing 27 times and scoring 10 goals to date.
Jovetic, who wore the No.8 shirt for Fiorentina, has taken on the No.35 squad number for City. He joins fellow summer signings Jesus Navas, Alvaro Negredo and Fernandinho and close friend and former Fiorentina team-mate Matija Nastasic.

Liam's new girlfriend Debbie

SANT ANTONI (Ibiza) - Italian paparazzi, lol. News about the soap opera: it seems Nicole left Liam, thank God ahaha I didn't like her.
I had some doubts about his taste in women, only Patsy Kensit was cute, that Appleton looked like an ugly horse, Lisa (as he called her, "the fucking woman" ahaha) was ugly, Liza the same.
This one looks better (even if with a bit of extra belly... pregnant? ahaha)
All the haters should check if Liam is father of their sons too...
Brother Paul was with them (you know he preferred Beady Eye to Noel and attends their gigs and Pretty Green clothes and events).
Haters are now saying that Nicole should kick him out of the house... it's not her house...
And of course they're blaming Liam, not the woman looking for money eh... (''Liza isn't after millions of dollars, she is simply seeking child support" ahaha hilarious and the millions...what for? to buy the child a Ferrari?) And, oh she felt incredibly hurt... what about his wife, girl?
Liam said he's not suing anyone. The story of the child is not so negative for the Oasis fans: in case he needs more money, that would mean he's going to make more music, the film the Longest Cocktail Party (DiLello book) and maybe the Oasis reunion.
By the way, about the movie (maybe with Johnny Depp, who played guitar with Oasis) and Pretty Green clothes, Liam said it's not a film about the Beatles (you know, it's about the Apple), the music will be instrumental by them, while the people thought it would've been by the Beatles.
Also, Liam met Idris Elba by the pool at Ibiza Rock Pikes Hotel for the first time since their altercation and Liam held his hand out to Idris and apologised and Idris was ever grateful and apologised too. They happily spent the afternoon sunbathing together.
Tomorrow Benicassim festival.
Stay young!

Beady Eye @ Ibiza Rocks

SANT ANTONI DE PORTMANY - More videos soon.

"Baby fuck off" ahaha (1977 song by Wayne County & the Electric Chairs)

Beady Eye took to the stage at 10.55 to a huge applause from the crowd. Liam seemed to be in good spirits and characteristically prowled around the stage and leered into the microphone to sing with his arms behind his back.
Liam Gallagher will always be Liam Gallagher and retain his distinctive style, whether you like it or not. But you can’t fault the band, even if you don’t like their material - they are tight, professional and look the part. It’s pure rock and roll.

Liam sues New York Post

LONDON - Sorry for the previous photo, we thought it was Liza in those years but it wasn't Liza, it was a picture of British model Louise Smith, wife of the successful British healthcare entrepreneur, Stuart Smith.

Liam Gallagher is suing a US paper after it claimed he fathered a secret love child (called Gemma) behind his wife Nicole Appleton’s back.
Liza Ghorbani, a showbiz reporter, who is in her 30s and specialises in interviewing celebrities, alleges the former Oasis frontman is the father of her baby girl. His British spokesman declined to respond to the gossip – but told the star now plans with his lawyers to sue the New York Post.

But he said he's not suing anyone, so there must be some untrue things in what the papers wrote, as always.

One of her friends, who was there the night she met him, said: ‘We went to the Norwood Club in Manhattan. Liza displayed all the classic signs of a groupie that night. I was shocked.
It was around 10pm and they were drinking and hanging out and acting more like friends and lovers than a writer and her subject. I remember feeling very uncomfortable. Liam was with two mates, one his business partner. He was sitting on a sofa with Liza. It was dark, with candlelight, quite romantic. He was drinking a lot of cocktails. Liza was also drinking, which was unusual.'

Beady Eye @ T in the Park

KINROSS - @ Radio One stage. Some haters are butthurt that Beady Eye were 1st in the chart in Scotland.
There is no question that Beady Eye are a good band. The legacy of Oasis was not built upon the older Gallagher brother’s songwriting alone, and Liam still cuts an intimidating figure behind the microphone, glowing with petulant charisma. He spits ‘I’m Just Saying’ and ‘The Roller’ into the haze of cascading drizzle cascad, and displays a dramatic improvement in the quality of his vocals with softer touches from BE, including a soulful ‘Start Anew’.
The rest of the band too, in Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Chris Sharrock, are all top drawer musicians, and the production touch of Dave Sitek makes a difference on the new tracks.

BE 16th positive review

NORWICH - Found another positive review. Today Beady Eye @ T in the Park festival in Scotland (photo in the backstage), see next post.

On the last outing, Beady Eye were just ‘Liam Gallagher’s new band’. Liam had come up with some exciting new material with his new mates, but we knew it was never going to be Oasis-standard even before we heard it. A victim of his own success, Liam’s first offering since ‘the tiff’ Different Gear Still Speeding was never going to surpass what the Super Gallagher Bros. had done previously.
Second album in, this isn’t the case. BE is experimental, rejuvenating, a reincarnation for Liam. No longer is the battle between Liam’s new band and Noel Gallagher’s Flying what’s-their-faces. They’re not even Liam’s band anymore; they’re Beady Eye, disassociating themselves with Oasis’ dirty, successful past. The hype’s over; now they’re having fun.
BE’s production is sublime and where the fun lies. This is no less apparent in opener Flick of the Finger, a brass-heavy, polished opening piece adorned with distorted spoken word ready to set your ears alight with inspiration. Lead single Second Bite of the Apple is similar, but mixes the prowess of epic brass with the enigmatic and mysterious; at first listen it’s odd, but magical. The wizardry of this production ensures this musical piece is perfectly crafted, like Beady Eye are explicitly saying, “We’re back and we’re better, have you missed us?”
Acute craftsmanship is unmistakable in the songwriting as well. A particular diamond in this jewellery box is the serenity-inducing Don’t Brother Me, three minutes of intoxicating bliss followed by four of instrumental sorcery. Also sparkling is happy-go-lucky sing-a-long Iz Rite, the tribal Shine a Light, fusing ritual drumming with romantic, waltzing breakdowns, and the effortless I’m Just Saying, perfect for an open-top car ride at sunset.
Whilst Beady Eye were Different Gear Still Speeding with their last album, their second offering slows down at the end. 15 tracks long, BE finishes its last six winding down. But it makes the album’s pace lackluster; you feel like Beady Eye are dragging it out a bit. The World’s Not Set in Stone, the liveliest one of the bunch, puts a mild smile on your face. Ballroom Figured attempts to transport you to a deserted, nostalgic dance hall, but they just don’t put enough effort in to create the right atmosphere. Final tracks Back after the Break and Off at the Next Exit seem to merge into each other, passing you by. These songs could be cut, and fans wouldn’t miss out if this album was just a tad shorter.
Having said that, most of the time Beady Eye are majestic. They explore places no one ever thought they would, and have transformed into a band of their own right, not just a side-effect of another Gallagher brothers domestic.
[there was no rating, but sounds like another 4 stars]

BE 15th positive review

DALLAS (Texas) - found another positive review, this from the Usa.
Over two years since their Different Gear Still Speeding debut in 2011, Beady Eye unveiled the follow up BE. Having enlisted the services of producer Dave Sitek from TV on the Radio, the band took the shackles off and explored new sounds.
If you initially feel a sense of dread at the thought of a new sound, you need not worry. Although their solid debut retained a hardcore of Oasis fans that followed Liam Gallagher and Co. in their new guise, it was a record unlikely to attract many new admirers.
The band's new record is a collection that Oasis almost certainly wouldn’t have released had they survived their infamous 2009 bust-up in Paris. Seemingly at ease and aware of what each member of the band brings to the table (writing credits are shared), the result is a varied and ‘loose’ sounding record.
The sleeve itself -- an image of a semi-naked woman surrounded by glowing late summer evening color -- captures the feel of the album through its warmth, which is a significant step forward for Beady Eye in terms of writing and experimentation.
The opener Flick of the Finger is as bold a statement of intent as you could have wished for. Gallagher snarls, "The future gets written today" as the track ascends into a crescendo of bass and brass. It's certainly a tune that would fit seamlessly onto a Guy Ritchie film soundtrack.
In similar fashion, album closer Start Anew gradually builds in atmosphere and rises up into a beautifully symphonic climax. There are previously unheard aspects to Gallagher’s vocal on display throughout the album, which leads to the standout track.
Another stellar track, Soon Come Tomorrow, has the potential to raise the band to a new level commercially. One minute in leaves the listener unsure of where the track is heading before the tempo suddenly lifts and leads into a sublime chorus where a new-found variety in Gallagher's vocals is most evident. With less effects and more range, Gallagher's tones arguably become the most influential instrument on the record.
There are still a couple of songs that are reminiscent of 1990’s Oasis. Iz Rite, whilst not the strongest song on the album, is an easy-going accompaniment to the more psychedelic offerings elsewhere. Although still rooted in the sounds of the 90’s, the song I'm Just Saying should receive a great reception at the band's forthcoming live gigs.
To accuse Beady Eye of sticking to the tried and tested formula of their debut would be amiss. Don’t Brother Me may be scrutinized by those hoping for a Gallagher reconciliation, but the strength of the song doesn't reach the general standard of the album until the 3 minute spun-out ending that doesn't fail to captivate and intrigue as the band hits another dimension.
It is uncertain what the future will hold for Beady Eye. Gallagher has claimed that this could be their last throw of the dice should they not succeed at whatever level he is judging their success against. But if one were to take away the baggage of the past and assess this record purely on its own merits, there is so much to admire.
Cliche or not: the first thing you want to do after the final note of the last track is go back to the beginning and see what you pick up on the next listen. Let’s hope that this is the start of Beady Eye writing a new future. If so, this album is the evidence of a journey just beginning.
[there was no rating, but sounds like another 4 stars]

Beady Eye instrumentals

MILAN - There's a poem attached to the Milano Pirelli calendar (for the month: December 1968) photo by Peccinotti of the Beady Eye new album.

Maria, svegliati, scaccia il torpore!

Le allodole cantano di nuovo nel cielo,

Tra i rami del biancospino, già

L’usignolo ha iniziato il suo dolce lamento!

Vieni a vedere l’erba baciata dalla rugiada,

E i boccioli nati sui rami del tuo roseto,

Che tu stessa bagnasti, l’altra sera,

Con gesti gentili e amorosi!

Ieri mi giurasti, prima di coricarti,

Di alzarti con me, prima di me,

Ma l’alba e i suoi sogni ti tengono ancora lontana.

E allora tieni ancor chiusi i tuoi occhi,

E cento e cento volte li bacerò,

E pure il tuo piccolo seno:

Ma, poi, destati amor mio!

some karaoke :)

shame the great guitar solo from 2:25 is not clear here

the other songs next time

I'm looking for the video of Silverstone highlights (Formula 1) with Flick of the Finger instrumental, I think it's necessary to be Sky UK subscribers to see it on their website. It was great, with images of the British guards with trumpets, the commentators were excited, etc.

Beady Eye new single: Shine a light

LONDON - artwork (by Peccinotti) for the Beady Eye new single: Shine a light, 19 August.

video shot in West Country where Liam also met Richard Ashcroft, before the Glastonbury festival, and went to Newton St Loe (Bath) @ The Globe pub.
Song of the week for Virgin Radio.
Noel's fans now even moan about the title, "not original", when Noel for his band used Oasis songs from the 2001 and 2004 sessions, co-written with Gem, we had already heard many years ago... not really original. Solo artist of my ass!

Beady Eye @ Ibiza & Mallorca Rocks

a little break after the Italian Pistoia Blues, then T in the Park and before Benicassim festival, as announced time ago, @ birthday of Ibiza Rocks and Mallorca Rocks, Balearic islands in Spain, that is where Noel Gallagher ("fucking hippies") sold the house, 'cause he was moaning (how rare eh!) about some neighbour... too young places for him retired old man.
You know Noel, you need a little break to get away for a holiday so you can see the sun, 'cause in the sun they say it's fun... on a crowded beach in Spain
(Oasis' Bonehead's Bank Holiday)

request to the organizers: please next time one also @ paradise island Menorca (and Formentera, but it's too expensive)

Beady Eye @ Pistoia Blues festival

PISTOIA - ...I see the wonder of life and look for the wall, na na na na ahaha
In Italy again. The setlist for festivals is a bit reduced of a few songs, it's normal. They even played more songs than @ Glastonbury. Some people moaned... there were also people who are not fans, being a traditional festival in a square... some Noel fan put around the rumour that Liam received a slap and he was angry and interrupted the gig... not true. They must have learned from Noel telling lies. They can't even count the number of songs. Liam was kind as always with all the fans, signed autographs also on jerseys, came off the stage and all. Top form.

13 songs: Flick of the Finger, Four Letter Word, Soul Love, Second Bite of the Apple, Iz Rite, Shine a Light, Rock'n'Roll Star, I'm Just Saying, Morning Glory, The Roller, Start Anew, Bring the Light, Wigwam.

2000, Twin Towers down there... before September 11... on the single "Sunday morning call" there was New York with a fallen glass... New York City skyline from the rooftop of the Rockefeller Center. The album's title was taken from the words made famous by Sir Isaac Newton: "If I can see further than anyone else, it is only because I am standing on the shoulders of giants". Noel saw the quote on the side of a £2 coin while in a pub and liked it so much he thought it would be a suitable name for the new album. He then wrote the name on the side of a cigarette packet while drunk. When he awoke in the morning, he realised he had written "Standing on the Shoulder of Giants", not "shoulders"

"La musica non ha mai spostato niente, neanche negli anni '60, ai tempi del Vietnam. Il rock incide nel look, negli atteggiamenti, ma non nella politica. Forse conoscendolo Lennon era un cretino, non ci sarei andato d'accordo e l'avrei odiato. La gente parla troppo della sua vita, del pacifismo e così via, quello che mi interessa sono solo le sue canzoni.

E se qualcuno organizza una marcia contro la guerra, io preferisco andare al parco con mia figlia".

(Noel Gallagher, Oasis)

=
Music never moved anything, not even in the '60s, at Vietnam times. Rock influences look, attitudes, but not politics. Maybe knowing him Lennon was an idiot, I wouldn't got on well with him and would have hated him. People speak too much of his life, pacifism, and so on, I'm interested only in his songs.

And if anybody organizes a march against war, I prefer going to the park with my daughter.

..... vote for Noel Prime Minister: 1) a good politician is a rich one, 2) more police on the streets

Seguo gli Oasis dall'inizio, dal 1994 (da quando c'è lo zio Silvio in politica ahaha), il Britpop iniziava a conquistare il mondo, e in Inghilterra noi 16enni-17enni compravamo cd con una certa canzone appena uscita che diceva proprio: Mister Sifter sold me songs when I was just 16...

..... Rockin' chair , my favourite song ever.
Video with a final surprise at the end...........
I played this song till my fingers bled.
The shape of England is not so different from Italy one.
Notice the images and the turtle as my turtle Alberta in "I'm older than I wish to be" :) (and the turtle then is also on Noel plectrum, he played with it, I played with it).
And yes, that pier in Weston-super-Mare was burnt. And Oasis are over now (definitely maybe).
For going around we were still using a tour bus, and as it was our first time there, we had a big surprise when a bus full of British people overtook us, all of them smiling and waving their hands but suddenly they turned and showed us their arses ahahaha

2009. I was at 3 Oasis gigs in 1 month, even climbing the Italian Alps, highest European mountains, and arriving first in Switzerland, my last Oasis gig, seen it on the front row in front of Noel winking an eye at me ;) (and Glasvegas did the same) playing as in room for me and two Swiss birds lol, the "veline" :))

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars. And in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'".
(Jack Kerouac)

mad fer it !!!

"Italy why always you?! what is it with you Italians? why do you seem to 'get it' more than anyone else? it's a constant source of fascination for me"
(Noel)

"I'm currently in Milan. Its been fucking wonderful...it always is. It's fair to say The Italians love me and long may that continue 'cause I love them right back...the beautiful bastards.
The gig was amazing, the kind of gig you'd never want to end. Easily my favourite so far."

(Noel)

"L'Italia è la casa spirituale degli Oasis.

I ragazzi italiani sono come me, molto passionali.
4 elementi li contraddistinguono: il calcio, la musica, la famiglia e l'amore per l'eleganza. I miei amici italiani sono dei fighi, indossano vestiti e scarpe stupende, sciarpe favolose, occhiali da sole anche di notte e donne bellissime al loro fianco. Beh, sono considerato una figura santa in Italia. E' Milano... l'Italia è grande amico, cazzo se mi piace andarci".

(Noel)

Italy is Oasis spiritual home.

Italian boys are like me, very passionate.
4 elements mark them: football, music, family and love for elegance. My Italian friends are cool, they wear wonderful clothes and shoes, fabulous scarves, sunglasses even at night and beautiful women by their side. Well, I'm considered quite a holy figure in Italy, It's Milan... Italy's great man, I fucking love going there.

"Milano è il miglior fottuto pubblico, e lo dico davvero!".

(toccandosi il cuore)

(Liam)

Milan is the best fucking crowd, and I really mean it!

(touching his heart)

"Milano è una città bellissima. Molta gente pagherebbe per stare qui. Non vado quasi mai a fare shopping, quello che mi piace di Milano è la gente".

(David Beckham, Ac Milan, Oasis friend)

Milan is a beautiful city. Many people would pay for staying here. I almost never go shopping, what I like in Milan is the people.

"We get chatting to Marco who was around for Paolo Nutini arriving and had given him a quick hand shake then sloped off, (you know how cool guys like to play it), he is really a Brit Indie lad at heart trapped inside the body of an Italian guy, his taste in music is fabulous. The tempo was troppo caldo (too hot weather), the Duomo is breathtaking to say the least. Milano women are ridiculously stylish and fabulously slim, gorgeous beings. He shaped my pizza into a love heart. Italian men are so smooth!"
(Jacq)

The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.

(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

"I've got the pre-emption over anyone proud boastin' music royalties about you :). When you told me to be not so good, I thought you were just humble. Now, on the contrary, I think you're a famous incognito singer, determined to cheer up the world with your voice, for free".
(Selene)

"nice jacket"

(Liam embracing me)

London->Milan, November 2009, with Milan legend Paolo Maldini

..... love the welcome ahahahaha with a Milan Lambretta behind... waiting for a PG shop in Milan.

In the same days: new AC Milan shop in Milan

..... the centre of the world.

Milan Expo 2015 Masterplan, the new zone where Oasis had to perform their last concert in history... before the "break" of 5 years... we're all part of a Masterplan... (the music is the anthem of North Italy, capital city: Milan, of course, titled "Va pensiero - sull'ali dorate", "Go, thought - on golden wings", by Verdi).

A new Milan part with strange skyscrapers is gonna be called 'City Life'.

In his 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere', Noel refers to Italy as the bands’ 'spiritual home' and anyone who has been to an Oasis gig in Italy will know why. It’s fitting that Oasis have chosen Milan to stage the final show...

(from the official site )

Milan, not Rome. Against Rome:

"Domani, be' cos'è domani? Lasciamo che Roma si dissolva nel Tevere! E che il grande impero crolli! Questo è il momento; i regni sono fatti d'argilla".

(Oasis, What's the story book)
