Its about time people got real...the cd single is a dead format...hardly any stores sell them...why would a band waste good songs which would effectively only be heard by a few people.....we have already got 2 new songs outside the album (IBIA and TBWTB) and some alternative versions are great WFTR for example The best argument in reply to your question is that odds are pretty good that we'll never hear these songs that Noel is mentioning anyway. They'll have some "new inspiration" when they next go into the studio, and these songs that they think will comprise the next record will get binned. So why hoard them? Shell them out and make people interested in buying singles again. At the least, promise us some sort of EP of leftovers between LPs (a la Coldplay).

or maybe Noel realized not to "give" away some of his best songs as bsides on a single, should've done it years ago and we'd have some major fucking albums in our hands, but oh well

If people refuse to buy the single and it limps into the charts at number 29 they might just think twice about taking the piss.
The great thing in the past was that even after you'd bought the album you still knew you'd hear new songs (and good ones too) when the singles were released.
The thing about CDs being old news is a fair point but it means we're unlikely hear any new Oasis material for the next three years.
Meanwhile we've got a tour with a 13-year-old setlist and an album with about eight decent songs on it. Oh, and Boy With The Blues isn't bad.
For a band like Oasis it's not really good enough, is it?

Bullshit. What the fuck is this shit. No proper B-side again A least we got B-sides with the Don't Believe The Truth singles as bad as they were. I'm seriously pissed off!!!!!! I'm with you. Who the frig wants to hear these stupid techno remixes anyway? Put Record machine or Stop the Clocks for Pete's sake! Keeso
