RE: Liam Gallagher at The Brits

Okay, so as you all may well know, I am a massive fan of Oasis (No, REALLY?!), so as you can imagine I was pretty stoked to hear that the award for the best british album of the last thirty years went to Oasis for What's The Story (Morning Glory) - but that was where my pride and pleasure ended.
What proceeded pissed me off to no end as, with all the style and grace of a one-legged elephant, Liam Gallagher waltzed on stage, thanked the band members (spectacuclarly forgetting to even mntion Noel who wrote the fucking songs on that album!), before proceeding to not only drop the microphone after a pretty piss-poor speech but to then give the award to the audience. Fair play, if this was some nice guy who genuinely felt "Hmmm, well, I enjoyed the music and it WAS written for our fans and inspired by their support - maybe THEY are the true winners" ... but this was Liam Gallagher, and what it meant was "I don't need a fucking award to tell me i'm the fucking best".
Perhaps it would have been better to have Noel rather than his arrogant little brother up collecting the award - after all, were it not for him then the album, nay, the world would no longer have:

- Wonderwall
- Don't Look Back in Anger
- Roll With It
- Morning Glory
- Champagne Supernova

And so much more. Peter Kay said that Liam was a knobhead. I couldn't agree more.

Standing on the Shoulder of Giants

Okay, so recently I purchased Oasis' album Standing and the Shoulder of Giants, right. Now, I had previously avoided it with as little thought as Dale Winton gives to the in creasing orange-ness of his appearence. However, I gave in and nabbed it because I wanted to have all of their albums (even the shockingly awful Don't Believe the Truth, which has just three good songs on it).

And it's an absolutely stunning album!

Serious, I really do reckon that SotSoG deserves a little more recognision. I mean, yeah, it's a bit different to the usual "mad fer it" tunes, but come on, I defy anyone to listen to 'Sunday Morning Call' or 'Where Did it All Go Wrong' and not feel something stir inside them. Fair enough, not all of the tracks are incredible, but the vast majority gives SotSoG a welcome, chilling vibe. 'Who Feels Love' and 'Roll it Over' are simply the most amazingly strange songs ever, in terms of the feelings they give!

So yeah, buy this blinding album, because if you don't, then you are seriously missing out!

Updates Galore!

Oh Em Gee, what the fuck bee bee cue! Sorry I have taken so long in updating this to my two, GLORIOUS followers!

Really, there has been so much going on lately I just haven't found time to update, so prepare for a nice, big, juicy informational BOMB! At the same time, however, i'm off out to karaoke night down my local in ten minutes, so i'm gonna try and condense a wall of text into a brick, so to speak!

Moonlight over Cretlin:-
Is slowly (but surely) being produced. Stil llooking for a summer 2010 release, but stay tuned to my youtube page for further details AND an interview coming up soon!

Everyday Life: Season 3 Finale:-
Hasn't even been thought about because of...

Everyday Life: Live:-
...The fact that Everyday Life: Live is being scripted, cast, venue-hunted and generally forced through pre-production. Toying with some cool ideas that I hope will make you all laugh your little asses off at, but then again ... perhaps a half full monty is too risque ... We shall wait and see!

Publish That!:-
A new comedy series to succeed Everyday Life once the series comes to a dramatic close this year. Follows a four-man news team who are trying to make their weekley news letter successful in a small, rural town. Should be hilarious, must wait and see!

University:-
Is boring as shite mostly, but the lectures have to be attended, so let's just get on with it

AND

That's all for today's update, hope you loved it ... not really, bit shite wasn't it - massive anti-climax to be honest BUT stay tuned for more thorough posts in the future!
All my love, my darlings!
