Oasis New Album Already Written And Demoed

Noel Gallagher says Oasis aren't hanging about when it comes to their next album, as the songs have already been written and demoed.

Although the group only released current album 'Dig Out Your Soul' in October, plans are already underway to complete its follow-up.

"It's already done. It's already written. It's already demoed." Gallagher tells Detroit News. But fans may to wait a while longer to hear the record, as Noel is still considering releasing his first solo album.

"I'm gonna take a bit of time off after this [current tour]. I think I might do something for myself, maybe."

Stone Roses line up comeback

The Stone Roses are set to reform.

The legendary British rock group – consisting of frontman Ian Brown, bassist Gary 'Mani’ Mounfield, guitarist John Squires and drummer Alan 'Reni’ Wren - are in talks to make a comeback next year to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut album.

Mani is particularly keen to get the band back together, and has been trying to get the rest of the group to convince Ian – who has always blamed John for the break-up of the band - it is a good idea.

Mani, who is currently the bass player for Primal Scream, told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: 'Me, John and Reni are up for doing it and Ian just needs some working on.

Next year is the 20th anniversary of the first album. It’s the ideal time to do it. It’s something I would love to do before we are all fat and bald. Start the campaign.'

John quit the group in 1996, shortly before the rest of The Stone Roses decided to part ways, following a disastrous performance at that year’s Reading music festival. He and Ian have not spoken to each other since.

Ian has reportedly always felt it should be John who made the first steps towards reconciliation, with the guitarist stubbornly refusing to make the initial move.

However, John is now keen to reunite for a comeback tour, while Mani has been trying to persuade Ian.

He revealed: 'I’ve been seeing Ian at Manchester United soccer matches when he’s there with his kids.'

Blur - Hyde Park 2009 Interview

Interview with Blur announcing their return for their 2009 Hyde Park Date.

Lily Allen - The Fear

A left-field choice from the present. A catchy melody with plenty of irony thrown in to boot! I wonder if her Dad (Keith) ever puts his two-penneth in?
