£10? Wow not bad! Where did you find it for such a price? I stupidly sold all my Oasis singles (as well as vast collection of bootlegs) on ebay back when I was growing skint in college. If only I could take that decision back.. Been wanting to reacquire the cigarette box sets ever since I was bored one night and simple searched for "Oasis" on a swedish site called "Blocket", where you can buy used stuff (Kind of like Ebay). And found it. The seller had the (What's The Story?) Morning Glory box too, but had managed to sell it few days before. Unfortunately... Thanks for uploading to Youtube too, Jordan! Couldn't figure out how to do it myself.

Is it the first time ever he holds the microphone like that when he's singing?

Yes droogs.
Just a quick one. Not much to report as, well, nothing's happened.
I just want to share with you something that happened to me in a clothes shop today in NYC.
So… I'm out shopping. Not looking for anything in particular. Just killing time. Enjoying the weather. (Very pleasant. Almost spring-like.)
I'm in some shop or other not showing much interest in the merchandise and the usual scenario starts to unfold. You know the one?
Shop assistant: "Hi… Can I help you with anything today?"
Me: "Erm… No thanks… I'm just looking."
(SO FAR, SO GOOD.)
Shop assistant: “Are you looking for anything in particular… A jacket? Some jeans? A sweater?”
Me: "… No thanks… I'm just looking."
Shop assistant: "How about these sneakers? These are really cool."
Me: "………" (Just a little stare.)
Shop assistant: "What size are you?"
Me: "40, if you must know."
Shop assistant: "Great, I'll go get you a pair."
Now at this point I would ordinarily wait 'til this idiot had wafted behind the curtain and leg it, but for some unknown reason I sat on a little leather stool and waited… and waited.
Just as I'm about to walk out he re-appears box in hand.
Shop assistant: "Here you go."
Me: "Thanks."
So, as luck would have it, they were too big. (Are my bastard feet shrinking now??)
Me: "Sorry mate, they're too big."
Shop assistant: "What? Really? The 40 is too big? Really?"
Me: "Really."
Then - with a straight face (and I'm not joking) - he said this...
"You know… Baggy shoes are very popular right now."
!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: "………" (Just a little stare.)
UN-FUCKIN-BELIEVABLE.
Now… I'm gonna be out of the game until Wednesday / Thursday. Some of my mates are in town and it's probably gonna get pretty messy.
In a bit.
GD.

Yes comrades... What up?
So... Where were we? That's right, Philadelphia. At the Academy Of Music, if my memory serves me correctly - which generally it doesn't - but I think it does this time.
Beautiful venue. Seriously. Like a mini Albert Hall. The show was... good... ok... not bad. Quite a tame crowd, I thought. Dunno... a bit reserved, which is no bad thing. As long as they're listening and clapping, who cares?
There was one guy though who kept shouting "WHATEVER!" inbetween the songs... Hope he wasn't a journalist practising some kind of new instant review technique!!
On to the historic city of Boston. I don't recall ever spending much time there in the past. Managed to see a bit of it this time and I gotta say it was beautiful. A bit like Edinburgh. Nice. I liked it a lot.
Another breathtaking venue and a great gig... Really great atmosphere. What a wonderful crowd. They sang their hearts out. Good gear.
Plotted up after the gig to watch the big fight between the great Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. And what a tear up! They literally beat the living daylights out of each other for 12 rounds. Pacquiao won on points. I thought it was a draw myself.
Muchas gracias to those who waited outside, singing songs in the cold 'til 1am. Nice to meet you.
Over-nighted it to NYC, which is where you find me now. Got 2 shows coming up at the Beacon Theatre. Looking forward to it. A few comrades have made the journey across the pond. Should be fun.
Day off today. Gotta go and get a shirt altered. It's a blimmin' 'small' and it's still too big. I might be shrinking!!!
In a bit.
GD.

Love this version of Supersonic! And yes, his voice sounds better now. It was just the first songs that sounded a bit rough. Especially Dream On.

Oh, the piano in Wonderwall is just beautiful. And Noel sings it really great.

Do you think Noel's voice will last the whole tour? I think he sounds really rough/tired/bad...

I've only seen the videos on Youtube, but I can say that I hate him. I don't like his style at all! The way he hits the hi-hat (can't explain it better, but I think you know what I mean) annoys me, and ruin many of the songs. And some songs sounds too fast. Not sure if that's all his fault, though.

"Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds: Somewhere In Between a doco on the making of the album airs tonight/Mon morning - Ch4 @ 12:30"
From Noel's twitter. Must be something new and not the same as the documentary we got with the album.

I chose Apple Lossless. It's better quality and the album is 300mb in Apple Lossless-format. While the Mp3-version will be 100mb or something. But you wont hear any difference between them in regular headphones, I think.

I think they pretty much sold out both Globen Arena in Stockholm and Scandinavium Arena in Gothenburg in 2009. I'm not sure how many that attend to the gigs but I think it was 8000 in Gothenburg and some more in Stockholm. Maybe Mr. Sifter can correct me if I'm wrong. So, yeah they were quite popular here. It's so sad that Beady Eye have not attracted more audience than what they have done here in Sweden and Denmark. I hardly believe they will come back. But I hope they try to do a gig in Stockholm next time they go on tour. They only played a festival here this time. Yeah I think they could easily fill Debaser in Stockholm! Yeah, think that too. It's a nice little venue too. It was a bad decision to play at a festival.
