(someone posted something similar a while back, but me being the lazy ass will not bother finding the thread so here it is )

ok so Lyla is out on the radio, the video is on tv, and yet the actual single is almost a month away from official release. By the time it gets out, everyone will have heard the song and no one will be interested anymore (the general public, not fans). Sure you might say they don't care about selling records, but it is a business and it doesn't seem like a smart move.

Same goes with the album - i'm assuming demos, and versions of the album have been sent out to industry types, reviewers etc etc... and the album is more than a month from release. With the way the world works that just screams out "leak me"

maybe Noel just got April and May mixed up? ...

Allows radio stations and televisions stations to rotate the single. Also, gives the band a chance to do some promo work. That's what I think.

well to be honest I made the initial post and surprise surprise, I did agree with you -the reason is of course that we are not normal people - MOST people haven't heard the single yet and MOST don't know they've got a new album coming out - if it were to come out tomorrow it would do really really badly (ok - it would do fine b/c they have enough dedicated fans - but still not as well as it could)
I mean, there have been like, what 4 radio stations that have it on their top ten most requested, - other than that - has anyone even heard it on their radio station yet? I've heard it once! and I don't think it's been on mtv or muchmusic yet so....I mean it might be prudent to give it time - but preventing leaks should also be a consideratin - ultimately - why the fuck aren't they playing it on the radio or mtv!? I mean, sure it's not their best but it's better than theory of a deadman or any of that crap

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
