New album info (Unkle never die)
UNKLE Update Hello. I have finally succumbed to the wonders of modern technology and thought it would be a good idea to start my first blog, especially as we are starting our new record. I thought it would be a good way to let you know what is going on in the wonderful and weird world of UNKLE.
We have been writing demos for the new record over the past four months, in our studio in London. Currently it has been myself, Pablo, James Griffith our bass player, and my brother Aidan so a pretty similar set up to how we did the End Titles record. We started the writing process off by recording some tracks in Henley in September last year whilst members of our band were still in the UK as an experiment to see how it would be to record in more of a band way than our typical previous sessions. Out of these sessions which consisted of myself, Pablo Clements, James Griffith, Joel Cadbury, Gavin Clark, Matt Pierce and Mike Lowry we came away with about nine tracks that definitely seemed like a new direction for potential new album material. We then came back to London and worked on the Redux record and finished touring etc and ended the year in a massive high doing the Heritage Orchestra show at Union Chapel – definitely my favourite show to date. The orchestra and visuals created by Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones were just fucking awesome! We just posted some video footage on UNKLE.com, check it out.
So we started the New Year by writing as many new tracks as possible not thinking too much other than what felt right at the time. Last week we sat down and found that we have about 30 ideas that are worth pursuing in one form or another. I think the plan for the next few weeks is to start whittling the ideas down, getting more definition out of the tracks so that we can start the lyric and collaborative process. We are still trying to work out who we are going to work with but I think we all agree that we want to work with a batch of new artists as well as new songs by myself, Gavin and Lisa Lindley Jones who joined us towards the end of our tour last year.
It feels really exciting as we have a blank canvas to work from. I think after doing all the different records from the past two years which range in so much different style it allows us in this record to be very free. The main thing that I really want to try and achieve in the music is something that feels more uplifting and optimistic than previous records. An eclectic psychedelic trip is what is going around my head. Demos are a real mixture of styles ranging from more electronic influences to heavy rock grooves. It is also important that we make something we can take out live.
So there you go, I will keep you posted on how we progress. Pablo has been going mad as usual buying shit loads of analogue gear so there are lots of new toys to play with in the studio which is adding a lot to the recording process, even though I feel sometimes we spend more time trying to work out how something works than actually recording, but hey it all adds to the fun!
Really happy how the Heaven video has been going down. Working with Ty and Spike on that has been awesome and the response out there is great. The recent remixes have seemed to make a positive impact in the clubs as well.
I’ve also started a column in URB Magazine in America. My first in a very long time, not since writing with Straight no Chaser and ID Magazine in the 90s, it’s called ‘Living In My Headphones’ which will come out quarterly over the next year.
So there you go, that’s what has been going on in my world. I will keep you posted as to my progress.
James Lavelle

That's the original Jamie Nicholas, but the other link to Jamie Nicholas might be fake, so I'm not believing anything. We don't want this to be Record Machine Part II, where that twat Curlies tried to piss us around. Sorry, I'm not having it. Until something concrete comes up, I'm ignoring this pointless thread. Hey !

There are actually quite alot of Oasis songs I don't like - but it doesn't affect my opinion of them as a band at all. Except maybe "Little by Little", I hate that song! But I never understood the love for MIA " Paperplanes". That song sucked. Jut coz it's in the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack...

Kasabian The West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum RCA Records Release Date: 6/9
Tracklist:
1. Underdog 2. Where did all the Love Go 3. Swarfiga 4. Fast Fuse 5. Take Aim 6. Thick as Thieves 7. West Rider Silver Bullet 8. Vlad the Impaler 9. Ladies and Gentlemen (Roll The Dice) 10. Secret Alphabets 11. Fire 12. Happiness
First Impressions:
- Vocals on some tracks have a slight Liam Gallagher tinge, but no two songs sound alike. The mixture of electro and hip-hop musical elements manages to make it sound new and not derivative.
- “Where did all the Love Go,” is epically produced with strings, hand claps, vocal harmonizing, electro keyboard drone, acoustic and electric guitar. All of these elements fuse together for an intricate song with twists and turns you wouldn’t normally expect.
- “Swarfiga,” is a bass-heavy, snare drum-supported instrumental track out of the ordinary for the band, but is perhaps a perfect example of its experimentation with producer Dan the Automator.
- Many of the songs on The West Ryder are upbeat and danceable, so it wouldn’t be surprising if remixes of some of the songs hit club dancefloors in the near future.
Key Tracks:
“Where did all the Love Go,” “Thick as Thieves,” “Vlad the Impaler,” “Fire”
Predictions:
Kasabian’s break from producer Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Editors) proves a good move for the Leicester, England, band. For The West Ryder, producer Dan the Automator brings a welcome edge to Kasabian’s sound, with an obvious hint to the work he’s done with the Gorillaz. More hip-hop-influenced beats and an emphasis on cranked up keyboards and distorted guitar make an impressive third album that sets itself apart from the band’s previous work.

Nidhi Sharma - Celebrity News Service Reporter
London, England (CNS) - What might be a new Oasis song has appeared online. The unidentified track was recorded by a fan during the sound check for a recent show in Taipei City, Taiwan.
According to a fan site live4ever.us, the song features Noel Gallagher and an acoustic guitar. There is speculation in the media that the new song could also be recorded for Gallagher's solo album.
No official announcement has been made by Oasis regarding the song and it is still not clear if the track will be on a future Oasis album or on Gallagher's eventual solo effort.
In an interview with BBC Radio 1 last year, Oasis songwriter leader Gallagher says he does plan to record a solo album when the band's current mammoth tour is over towards the end of 2009. And Noel wants his brother Liam to do the same.
Oasis is currently on tour in Asia in support of their current release "Dig Out Your Soul."

I don't get all this latin stuff - its nearly as silly as the John Cena nonsense was. Anyways heres my take on it.............. Elder brother tells his will that his image will be ready Could be Noels own "pretty green" style clothing range haha!!........what do you think Noel would call it? John Cenna was the most funniest moment on the board
