There weren't no queues in my local HMV, but town was empty with bank holiday and all that.
When i walked in i went straight upto the oasis section and there was some numpty who looked like that lottery winning cat cock Michael carroll looking at the album with his missus(who was hideous by the way) he then muttered i ain't buying that i can't stand that liam and walked off, If he don't like him then why the hell did he go to the oasis section and pick up and look at an album he had no interest in buying?.
The guy behind the counter was sound though he said it was about time real music was bought back and that he loved the new album, But then slightly spoiled it all by handing me a coldplay hologram ad thing and reminded me that there albums out next week ;D

Cheers

I got mine in Virgin Megastore in Oxford, and I had trouble actually gettin to the CD on the stand, cos there was like 5 people all crowded round it. There was a real buzz in the store - they were playin Love Like a Bomb when I walked in. Then in the high street when I was walkin up there and walkin back I heard loadsa snippets of conversation like 'Yeah, I've got my copy pre-ordered for when I get home' and 'Can't wait to get this on, it's gonna be buzzin'. Now, I don't think somehow they were talkin about their dinner or the new Turin Breaks album somehow! I think it's gonna sell pretty well meself.

Got into my local Virgin at about 1pm (that's the shop not some local talent

). There was a bloke in front of me buying two, and they had to get the last couple of those stickers from upstairs cos they'd just about run out.

There was one bloke in the queue ahead of me though and he was buying the album too. It'll be sure to sell brilliantly.

Shoutbox

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

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

mimmihopps: colincarrot, the thread is still active, but you do need to log in to access to the thread as it's in Sound & Vision board. Hope it helps. Sept 24, 2024 4:26:30 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

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 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

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Well my Halloween theory might not have been true... I wish the banner came back in its original form
