Agree, I thought it was a great interview. Not 'old man yells at cloud' at all. It's refreshing to hear Noel when he's being more sincere (but still funny as fuck). I tend to think this kind of interview is the real him when he gets to talk about the music more and someone actually shows some interest in the artistic process. I would think it must be maddening to be an artist, and have no one ever show the remotest interest in the creative process but only gossip.

We got more information from that about the EPs and he view on the Oasis albums post Be Here Now than I think we've ever got before, so I don't know how a fan could just dismiss that. It's amazing noone else has asked him these questions. I also agree with him about Stop the Clocks, I suspect he knows he got the production of it all wrong. In hindsight he seems to fairly accurately judge the flaws on all those albums shame he couldn't at the time! (Obviously where he just didn't have better songs there wasn't much he could have done).

When he's interviewed by journos who clearly know nothing about music and are only interested in gossip and Liam he gets bored and talks shit to get a headline, but it's not him, he's playing a role. One that suits him less well at 56 than 26 admittedly.

Knocking AI is not being a luddite. It's the automation and mechanisation of art, art through algorithm and demand.

Folk getting kicks out of something they want for instant gratification isn't art, as opposed to real art that gives people something they didn't know they needed. One of these days, people will be getting AI to write songs for themselves based on their music tastes, a mish mash of everything they listen to and call it 'art' (fucking hell, imagine narrow minded Oasis fans getting hold of this, bring on nuclear warfare and endless bloodshed if it produces a million James Hargreaves...). That only ever relies on old habits and old tastes. It'll lead to the death of exploration and curiosity for entirely new things. I hate it and nothing good will ever come of it.

Would probably be an improvement to be fair and less prone to drunken rambling. I know what you're saying though, but the cats out of the bag by this point and there's no way to police it. Would I personally make AI augmented songs if I was capeable? No, probably not and even if I did I'd keep it to myself but it's happened now. 

I've always found the whole deepfake thing far more egregious though to be honest and that has the potential to cause some real misery in the wrong hands. Fans making edits for no personal profit of artists songs and correctly labeling them as AI is okay for me though, that whole ASIS thing is different and not for me but that's just my opinion. It's all just a small part of what is about to become a real big problem that there's no obvious solution to and it's certainly going to get interesting that's for sure. 

The more I listen to, the more I love this album.
I’m not bothered to write my humble review on here, but I just want to enjoy this new album.

I'm sure he'd be #1 on those charts if there was just one version, but both of them will get most of their sales off physical copies, so we'll have to wait to understand how it's shaping up

Sounds like something by the Smiths

I totally agree with you,  all this Al stuff doesn't interest me one bit and I refuse to listen to any of it.

Trying to find a world that’s been and gone doesn’t sound too different from the demo of magic secrets

When Don't Stop was recorded isn't obvious from the credits - it features Strangeboy, Mikey Rowe, Jeremy Stacey, Callum Marinho (playing 'the tube' which features on a lot of the album tracks. He also mixed and engineered the album), Roxys, Jess Greenfield + 3 other backing singers, Clement St Leonard (precussion and sound effects - he features on all LP tracks I think), The Wired Strings.

The credits indicate a lot of baritone guitar on the album.

Anyone seen Pretty Boy (Acoustic) from the 7' vinyl around for purchase or stream?

Won’t it be the same as the Japanese bonus track?
