Noel's wife never saw him writing songs

LONDON - Noel Gallagher says his wife barely believes he writes songs.
(His wife Sara hates his music, his son too). He described a recent conversation they had in which he said he wanted to turn the garage of their new home into a "creative space" to write songs.
"She said to me 'I've never seen you writing songs'." Of course, as he's the man who is still paying the most money for copying songs, everytime anyone is buying cds.
He always says those things to appear invincible, as he's a media darling (and illuminati) and nothing can worry him. He even wished something "really bad to happen" for him (what an idiot... and then he got the glandular fever for months).
Kinks star Ray Davies is another one of the list mocking him: "I haven't done anything to help this man's career at all."
This wife is really double-faced... just like Noel. They're two of a kind.

He also said he "didn't find songwriting easy", it's "frustrating" that he starts lots of songs but often fails to finish them, and he would never "stoop" to co-write a song with another artist. His "solo" album was made of songs co-written with Gem from the 2001 and 2004 sessions.
Many websites still call him "former Oasis frontman" (!!! it was called Liam) and now frontman (!!! really?) of a band, yes that already disbanded, and no new album that he announced for 2012.
"I can't be arsed at the moment. I just literally can't be bothered.'' Expect it for 2020.
They also always write "an acclaimed solo career"... like: 23 negative reviews from music experts (not to mention some gigs with even his own fans going away and asking for Liam), 28th Usa chart position for his totally American album, solo career made with 10 Oasis covers, etc.

Noel is the only one who was able to steal from a Neapolitan man (from his travels to South Italy), Pino Daniele... (Death of you and me from Je so' pazzo - apart from the lyrics from Summer in the city), usually it's the other way round...
He attacked One Direction again ("clowns") saying he attended the Novello awards, winning one (of course without people voting, as the NME Godlike Genius award, the only way for him to win prizes) because they weren't invited... oh, a few weeks ago he attacked Emeli Sandé and she won more than him (classic Noel jealous) and she was there, so?
Noel is just ridiculous. I remember he thought the Smiths were "too gay" and see what he says now: "LIAM (obviously) thinks they're too effeminate? I DON'T KNOW.." [sign of a liar]
...said from one singing in falsetto voice to reach the high notes and always on Grazia magazine... 

He thinks to be more intelligent than everybody (he used to be "proud to be ignorant"), when he can't even write and read a music score.
It's called: twat attitude.

More about sacking Mancini: "He obviously didn't get on with a lot of people but I thought it was harsh. I think they should have given him another year. I was shocked, I've got to say."
"[Manuel] Pellegrini seems to have got the job," he concluded of the Chilean.

Beckham retires from (played) football

LONDON - Oasis friend and fan David Beckham (he was also @ last Oasis gig in Milan) has decided to call time on his glittering career. My best memory about him: when he was throwing balls at me in Milanello training centre, I was wearing an England jersey and Oasis sideburns :), he was really "bending it like Beckham" :)
Milan is still in his heart and he always says nice things.
Beckham, 38, helped Paris Saint-Germain lift the Ligue 1 title with AC Milan legend Ancelotti, for the first time in 19 years at the weekend.
And despite being offered a one-year contract extension, the veteran midfielder will retire after Ancelotti’s men play their last game of the season on May 26.
He said: “I’m thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level."
Becks began his path to superstardom at Manchester United, before switching to La Liga side Real Madrid.
He left Spain for a money-spinning move to Los Angeles' LA Galaxy in 2007 and also enjoyed 2 loan spells with Italian giants AC Milan during his time in Major League Soccer.
After his contract expired Stateside, the former England skipper was reunited with ex-Milan boss Ancelotti.
And having relocated from LA in January, Becks is expected to set up a permanent base in London with his wife Victoria and four children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper (Brooklyn is a boy, Harper a girl, just saying ahaha).
He added: “If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club, proudly captained and played for my country over one hundred times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy. I’m fortunate to have realised those dreams".
Beckham, 115 caps for England and netted 17 goals, including the vital free-kick against Greece that took Sven Goran Eriksson’s side to the 2002 World Cup.
He made his international debut in 1996 and scored in three consecutive World Cup tournaments (could have been 4 if he had not injured in Milan, where he also ruined his "pretty face") on the way to becoming the Three Lions' most capped outfield player.
“To this day, one of my proudest achievements is captaining my country. I knew every time I wore the Three Lions shirt, I was not only following in a long line of great players, I was also representing every fan that cared passionately about their country. I’m honoured to represent England both on and off the pitch."
Along with six Premier League titles and one Champions League success, Beckham conquered La Liga in his final season in Spain and won the MLS championship twice (not so many trophies, to be honest).
“I wouldn’t have achieved what I have done today without my family. I’m grateful for my parents’ sacrifice, which made me realise my dreams, and I owe everything to Victoria and the kids, who have given me the inspiration and support to play at the highest level for such a long period. I want to thank all my team-mates, the great managers that I had the pleasure of learning from. I also want to thank the fans who have all supported me and given me the strength to succeed.”
Beckham has two games to come before the end of the season, the last home match of his career being this Saturday.
He said: "Nothing will ever completely replace playing the game I love. However, I feel like I’m starting a new adventure and I’m genuinely excited about what lies ahead. I’m fortunate to have been given many opportunities throughout my career and now I feel it’s my time to give back.”
Leading the tributes to Beckham, FA chairman David Bernstein said: "In the week following Sir Alex Ferguson retiring, which came as a bit of a shock, now we have the iconic David Beckham coming out of the game. It’s unexpected even though he is getting to mature years for a footballer. He is an iconic figure in the game and produced wonderful performances for his clubs. When you look at his playing and work for England, no one would ever accuse him of being unpatriotic and not giving everything for his country. He is a real loss to the game and I am sure the FA will want to embrace him and to get him closely associated with the organisation. I would personally wish him every luck and success — he will be quite a loss to the game.”


Probably today also Bradley Wiggins retired, from the Giro d'Italia. Too difficult for him here.

Liam & Noel want Mancini to stay

LONDON - Oh there's a reason why Manchester City ridiculously lost the FA Cup vs Wigan. City fake fan (also Oasis fake fan) Noel Gallagher was at the stadium... classic Noel the jinx. He supported England 2018... (Russia won). His song for England at Euro 2012... and said England beat Italy... (Italy dominated). He said Mancini is a magician... (then an absurd last position in Champions). Presented City jersey 2013... (won nothing, unlike 2011 and 2012). Liam had presented the previous jersey and was at the stadium when City won (both Cup and league), without Noel (he was at 3 games, 3 defeats). City spoke about Noel for one week, 2 other defeats.
I was drinking the same Bud beer in bottle Noel was drinking in the same moment when City lost...

The Gallagher brothers may have been at odds for years – but there is one thing Liam and Noel can agree on and that is that Roberto Mancini should remain as manager of their beloved Manchester City.
The former Oasis pair were both at Wembley – separately - to watch City lose the FA Cup final to Wigan and put on record their support for Mancini.
Mancini’s days at City looked numbered after it was reported over the weekend that Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini was being lined up at the Etihad.
But both Gallagher brothers want to see the Italian remain at the club.
Speaking before the final, Beady Eye frontman Liam told ESPN: ‘I think Mancini should stay. Mancini has won us the league for the first time in 40 years, as well as The FA Cup.
‘I’m not into this [idea of] getting rid of people, you need some consistency, so I’m all for Mancini.'

And older brother Noel seemed to be singing from the same song sheet as he backed Mancini to stay after the defeat to Wigan.
He told FA TV: ‘What really annoys me is losing gives every justification for Mancini to lose his job. It gives people a reason to do it, which is a shame because I think he should stay.’
Before the game Noel had been full of confidence, boldly predicting that City could win with eight men with either Sergio Aguero or Carlos Tevez netting a hat-trick.
He said: ‘We should beat this lot with eight men and I think we are going to see a hat-trick today, either Carlos or Aguero.’

I don't agree, he should be sacked.

sir Bradley Wiggins @ Giro d'Italia +Beady Milan

MILAN - New dates added: Beady Eye @ birthday of Ibiza Rocks, with deeejay Zane, 17 July +Mallorca Rocks birthday.
Liam Gallagher's friend, Oasis-Pretty Green fan Bradley Marc Wiggins (born in Belgium, Liam: "vive le Belgium" :), he's a mod and gold medalist at various Olympic Games, trying to win the Tour of Italy (from 4 until 26 May), he never won it.  I didn't know he can speak Italian well. The new Pope blessed the "maglia rosa", pink jersey. 

Today a bit difficult stage in the mountains (recently Bradley is often angry during the stages, but smiling out of competition). His weak point is under the rain, which is hilarious for a Britishman, lol.
On Saturday a time trial, as we say "bread for the teeth" of Bradley, he could probably become "pink jersey" (now it's Paolini, Italian from Milan, debuting @ Giro at 36 years old). 

Mark Cavendish with McLaren bike already won 2 stages.
In 2014 the Tour of Italy will start in Northern Ireland (Belfast) for 3 stages.
Didn't follow this sport for many years, disappointed by doping (Armstrong, etc.)
When I was a boy (now I'm a girl ahaha), at Oasis' times in the 90's they mocked me at school 'cause I was a fan of cycling (a sport "for old people"), apart from a blonde girl who was always singing a Giro d'Italia song with me ;D ("e intanto gira e vaaaa...", la canzone più bella del Giro, una di quelle di Paolo Belli, quella dei primi anni '90)

from the official AC Milan channel, Beady Eye's new song.
on Sunday Milan-Roma
(the GAME then even had to be interrupted for racist abuse to Mario Balotelli from Roma fans, famously shite people)

Beady Eye illuminati?

MILAN - You remember all the things about the media darling Noel Gallagher's illuminati. But Liam does not belong to them, in fact the media still dislike him... (they talk a lot, but their attitude is generally negative, they take him too seriously and build stories from one of his funny sentences, and of course they don't even know him personally). Liam now just wants to mock Noel, making fun of him. 

There are clear references in Beady Eye's new stuff (the eye of a girl, the "only one eye open" - the image for Second bite of the apple - and the album, the woman lying on the floor, then in Flick of the Finger "have we decided if we like being part of the plan", "the ghost of a bad idea", "the future gets written today", etc., Start anew, "Got the whole world in our hands (wouldn't expect this from Beady Eye) come on take a chance and start anew, me and you")

About lying down:

• start of Oasis, Definitely Maybe: Liam on the floor. 
• end of Oasis, last singles: I'm outta time, video: Liam on the ground. 
• and Falling down (published on Woman's day): woman on the floor, with "only one eye open" (and also the cameraman). See video below.
• Beady Eye new album: woman on the floor...

ILLUMINATI Noel (BIRDS) totally American album, released on: 17.10.11, 1+7+1+1+1 = 11

Death of you and me: 21.8 (11), 2+1+8 = 11

Aka what a life: 11.9 (11), 1+1+9 = 11

If I had a gun: 26.12 (11), 2+6+1+2 = 11

Dream on: 12.3.2012, 1+2+3+2+1+2 = 11

out of illuminati?

Beady EYE's turn (with American producer)
first single Second bite of the apple 30.4.13, 3+4+1+3 = 11 

second album BE: 10.6.13, 1+6+1+3 = 11

it's the way to have an immediate success: Noel "sold the soul for the second time, 'cause the man, he don't pay him..." ...really weird lyrics eh? what could that nonsense mean? 

Be Here Now was very successful for the people (fans love it) though it wasn't good for the experts (Noel too...even "shite", always repeating it wasn't good, as if he wants to underline that) and it was 21 August written everywhere (2+1+8=11). 

Definitely Maybe (to be honest I never adored it and I think it's always overrated by everybody), first album that needed and had an instant succcess, 30 August (3+8=11). 

Oasis last single (Falling Down): 8.3.2009 (on the internet), 8+3 = 11, 2+9 = 11 chaos.

Would-have-been LAST Oasis gig: 30.8.2009 (Milan) = illuminati vs illuminati 3+8=11, 2+9=11... chaos

Video from last year (recently he repeated things about becoming a knight... in many cases it seems like he's slowly admitting everything). 

The God Horus = sun... (Falling Down). When he talked about Downfall, he quoted the tickets they had for the gig... (we weren't very happy, Noel... nothing to laugh about). It wasn't only Jimmy Page but also Robert Plant. "Nearest recruiting station"... and he was at a gas station. Also a bit strange that he always said he doesn't believe in God, but often names him...

Alan McGee launches new record label

HAY-ON-WYE - Alan: ‘Recently I found myself reinvigorated by new music again after being 5 years away from music living in rural Wales, and from which there has been much talk about how I will return to music. As recently talked about in the press, my original plan was to do a deal with major label backing in Japan. But when it came down to it I realised that I didn't want to come back to music through a major music label - that's not what I want to be part of. That's when I had a chat with Iain McNay from Cherry Red and we quite quickly put our heads together and developed between us a much better deal for 359 Music which will be a joint venture with Cherry Red.
The first ever person to ever approach me about music when I was 19 was Iain McNay from Cherry Red. That was 1980 and 33 years later Cherry Red still continues to send me publishing cheques for songs I wrote then. To me that just proves nothing but honesty and diligence. To me it makes sense and it excites me - it's where it all started and where I will have my, more than likely, last record label.
My vision for 359 Music is a launch pad for new talent and some ignored older talent. We intend to release on average a dozen new bands per year every year - maybe more if I find a lot of new talent I like. Hopefully some of the artists will stick around and make numerous albums with 359 but some will go on to other things and that is just nature of the musical beast.
Due to technology the world is much smaller these days and 359 Music will be run from rural Wales by phone and computer and the day to day engine room will be run by the Cherry Red team in London. So basically the day to day logistics of 359 Music will be handled by Cherry Red Records and the A&R signing policy and creative decisions will be my domain.
There is no agenda of 'let's be the biggest like Creation Records' - if in 5 years’ time people who I respect and who love music can turn round to me and say 359 Music has put out some great music then that to me will be success. There really needs to be an outlet for new music artists that have been shut out by the system and I hope 359 Music will be that outlet.
If you are an artist and want to be considered for 359 Music send an mp3 to INFOAT359MUSIC@AOL.COM (INFO@359MUSIC.COM) and I will personally listen.
“So there you have it - 359 Music. I am extremely happy to be working again with my friend Iain McNay and to be again involved in the Cherry Red family after 33 years’”
Iain McNay: ‘Alan and I go back a long time, over 30 years in fact. Cherry Red celebrate their 35th birthday next month and we just continue to grow and grow. We released 623 albums (all on CD) last year, mostly catalogue but with an increasing number of new recordings. I only know of two other labels that have survived the late ‘70s Independent breakthrough intact in the UK; that’s Ace and Beggars. I like to think of the three of us as the ‘A,B and C’ of British Independent labels.
I have always admired Alan’s passion and belief in the music he loves. His maverick side will sit well with Cherry Red’s committed Independent stance. I have no doubt we will have a great adventure together. One thing is for certain, working with Alan McGee is never going to be boring…..’


Creation Records was set up in 1983. Its roster included Oasis, Primal Scream, Teenage Fanclub, My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Super Furry Animals. McGee sold half the label to Sony in 1992, before dissolving it fully in 1999 to form his own label Poptones, which signed The Hives. Poptones wound down in 2007, with McGee citing financial reasons.
He will curate Tokyo Rocks, which is set to take place later this year in Japan, after being cancelled then reborn. My Bloody Valentine are scheduled to headline the festival.

Beady Eye Start anew video

MILAN - (Dreaming of some space - reversed). Final images: some of my "anticipatiiions" months ago: golden brass, horns for Beady Eye's new album inspired by Milan Futurism (Hines skyscraper and square by Argentinian of Italian origins Pelli, @ Porta Nuova = new door) and the place of the would-have-been Oasis last gig, 30 August 2009 (Milan Expo 2015, that will be about food), before the "5 year break" announced by Noel Gallagher BEFORE the Oasis split... enough said). Along with the piece of Moon @ Leonardo Da Vinci museum. Milan was also the place of "Beady Eye" first gig (30 May 2000 without Noel) and where Pretty Green started. Album cover by Harri Peccinotti (Milano Pirelli calendars). 

Liam is totally right when he says Noel planned the split (and then blamed everyone), some people suffer from short memory... or just don't listen.

Andy: "my favourite vocal on the album. It's an epic: starts off as an acoustic tune then ends up as like Neil Young in Boca Juniors' stadium in 35°C heat, with fireworks going off."

Lyrics (to be completed)

Wipe away these tears,
Please don't be upset,
Tell me all your fears,
(? unintelligible)

Got the whole world in our hands,
Come on take a chance,
And start anew, me and you

Noel's desperate smurfs

LONDON - Noel's fans just continue shitting like High shitting pigeons. Gli uccellini rincoglioniti che scagazzano.
Another post about them... seriously they're the worst music fans I've ever heard, again: they don't even listen to what their idol says, they're totally blinded.
Sure there's also a language problem, as many people who speak a few English, can get less of the thousand things the media darling says.
By the way, he was right (he's not always wrong, of course) a couple of recent times when he insulted them. They're total idiots. Well everyone's got the fans he deserves... I'd prefer a few good ones.

This is lazy ass Noel Gallagher's new album... ready for the year 2020.
For his lack of inspiration, I suggest to take material from his fans bullshit... there's loads of stuff.
Let them comment and vent their jealousy. After all they should find a way to spend their time between 2 "solo" Noel's albums, that is at least 4-5 years. 2 years have already passed and recently he even said there are no albums on the cards.

• last 3 Oasis albums: a few songs by Noel (last album in 2008), some by Liam, Andy, Gem
• Noel "solo" in 2011 (with discarded songs from 2001 and 2004, co-written with Gem)

I noticed several times, this thing of the "Smurfs" makes them mad.... ahahahaha Showing their superficiality, it seems that above everything they care A LOT about names, mocking "Beady Eye" (not copied) and "Pretty Green copied from Paul Weller" (for their ignorance, High Flying Birds is copied too, from Jefferson Airplane).
The media always take very seriously, too seriously, what Liam says (as for the Justin Bieber sentence). Most of the times, they take some funny answer (to what journalists ask...) and make whole stories out of context.
This was just a joke by Liam... but they're always offended by the truth. In this case, Noel is short like a smurf... (like his idol Berlusconi) ...as Liam says: even Prince is taller than Noel ahahahaha
Also, they don't even notice the way Noel talks about Liam (they think Noel is an angel), with that twat attitude for years.
Recently, Noel: “Liam probably doesn’t know what effeminate means"... sure Noel knows more about effeminate, always being on Grazia Magazine and singing in falsetto voice (his fans don't even know what it means) to reach the high notes.
He was referring to the Smiths, I remember well NOEL considered them "too gay"...
He always acts as he if he was more intelligent than others (years ago he was proud to be ignorant), when he can't even read or write a music score.

LIAM'S VOICE

There are still people slamming Liam's voice because it's not what it used to be.
Sure, Liam's voice is now BETTER. It's professional rock'n'roll (it doesn't need to be perfect) and not innocent as an unexperienced kid. He's singing more creatively and not as monotone as Noel told him to sing in Oasis. See that "pocket" in the new song, and just that "come on , show what you love now" is cooler than anything from Noel.
Also, there was Noel keeping a lower volume for Liam during the gigs, high for the instruments. Liam was always complaining about that.
Fans poiting out Liam's voice got worse, seem to forget how Noel's songs got worse... in many Oasis albums too. Nowhere near Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory. Maybe because the Griffiths were helping him... (Is there a reason why he's not playing many songs from those albums? why not Live Forever? Rock'n'Roll Star? Cigarettes and Alcohol? Slide Away? very defining songs... the whole first album was sung by Liam).
Many people talk without having been to a Beady Eye gig. Nobody complained, on the contrary the performances are better than Oasis in the last years. Beady Eye played Morning Glory and Rock'n'Roll Star last year, and they were great, sounded like Oasis with no difference. Noel's contribution in live shows was the backing vocals. You know, the girl with virgin voice singing behind.

Comparing Liam's with Noel's voice saying Noel's is better is totally idiotic. Liam has been singing hard for 20 years, Noel not really the same, he's no singer.
Liam is not performing his Oasis songs 'cause he knows Noel's songs were successful thanks to Liam too, and he wants to show it.
Those people are useless impotent midgets in their bathrobes who are simply jealous. What have they done?
They laugh about Liam. If he's really shite as those people say, it's clear the fall of a great one is the happiness of the mediocres.

Meanwhile, of course every article about Liam on general websites is full of negative comments from people who are no Oasis fans and don't know anything about the Gallaghers (apart from what they learn from the media). They spend a lot of time to comment (as if anyone cared about them). I hate some bands and of course I don't even read articles about them, commenting is not even in my fantasy.
I dislike Noel too but commenting about him is different, because it's about Oasis, and Noel is always telling lies about Liam and band mates.

I simply can't find any more cool songs in Noel's music, it's boring. Noel of 20 years ago would laugh at how he is today.
Noel fan: "I'd rather eat every once in a while in a good restaurant (Noels HFB) than have Beady Eye's crappy burgers every day".
Wow calling a good restaurant all those HFB discarded songs from 12 and 9 years ago, it's like eating expired food (not to mention the covers). I see the results in his fans comments... medicines are not even useful aymore.

Noel fans say Beady Eye can't make Noel music.
Sure, they can't make his same depressing music, we agree about that.
Noel's fans are talking shit that way hoping their companions won't buy the album. Then of course they'll buy it. All these "fans" hating Beady Eye will buy their album 'cause it's their songs making them feel cool.
Noel's clearly can't.
We will remember to do the same when Noel will find some other song from old sessions (co-written with Gem) and publish his second album in 2020.

There are people who seriously think Oasis would have existed without Liam. For the record, if a Martian is visiting, he should know Oasis was LIAM's band, who also gave the name Oasis, and was the frontman, singer, icon, etc. above all : heart and soul, forever. It's history, something you can't change.
Noel fan: "I think cigarettes and alcohol wouldve been a classic with or without liam."
Of course it would've been a classic: I mean Get It On, Cigs is copied from T Rex.
Pigeon: "Noel will continue to write those Oasis songs for HFB".
They'll continue to sound nowhere near Oasis, but covers.

It wasn't only Noel that created the "Oasis sound"... admitted by the same Noel. In an interview he was saying after the first 3 albums they largely changed their sound due to Andy and Gem as they are "indie kids at heart".

About picking sides, it was Noel DEFINING sides. Something like: everything on one side (Liam, Pretty Green, management, band members...even fans) and God on the other one. He was sure to be successful anyway (then he wasn't really THAT successful), being a media darling. And illuminati...

Liam understood the strategies of media... Noel told lies to promote his album.
Liam was not really serious when he said he could quit music if the album flops (he knows it won't flop), anyway there would be nothing strange in a 40 year old who has already been successful for a long time and taking a break, and he's still got the fashion and also cinema soon. What's Noel got?
Beady Eye dumped their (Noel's) management because it was terrible... Also, the label is big now, Columbia.

Noel fan calls "a bonus" the Oasis songs Noel plays... a bonus of 10 songs, half of the set.

And he had said he was going to play 3 only.
And he had said he was not going to play songs that were sung by Liam.
Just a few of many lies he told (see column on the right).

I often read (also from people who are no Oasis fans) that Liam "has no friends"... ahahahaha... (saying something against Noel = having no friends) ...apart from seeing Liam with many different people around, for their info, the one left alone is called Noel. It was Noel leaving Oasis (3 times), not the other way round.
That's why one should refer to Beady Eye as Oasis, and to the Birds as Noel.

"You wouldn't believe how many more friends Noel has than Liam. Noel is still in a stable marriage, too."
how many more friends has one with imaginary friends saying to the media he's always meeting people, who never meet him?
I wouldn't bet on that "stable marriage", as even Liam has Sara's number...
It's YEARS Liam is in a stable marriage, Noel 3 years later. And his wife hates his music. That's not a good point for a musician.
Noel alone is lost. One who isn't lost doesn't repeat he always meets former Oasis members (also his imaginary friend Gem) when he never does.

A Neapolital soul stealing things as Noel is the only one who was able to steal from a Neapolitan man, Pino Daniele... (Death of you and me from Je so' pazzo). Usually it's the other way round.
Pinoel Danoel... he's a good artist, but in the past he copied some songs... it's hilarious that Noel copied him.

About the new song they say: "I couldn't even listen to the whole song."
That's Noel's fans problem: they don't even listen.

3rd Beady Eye song by song

LONDON - About Noel Gallagher: "Splitting up Oasis then putting half the fucking songs in your fucking set, it's schizophrenic. 'If you want to lay fucking Oasis songs put the band back together and stop being a fucking gobshite. But he hasn't got the balls to do [his band] High Flying Birds on his own, that's just the nature of the man."
At Noel's gigs there would have been half of the people... still, his gigs don't sound anywhere near Oasis.

3rd post with details track by track

There’s talk of lyrics about Noel. There’s talk that it’s the most far out Liam’s gone since he gave up sandbag-sized portions of illegal substances up his conk. There’s talk that there’s a guest vocal from Justin Bieber, now Liam’s a confirmed Belieber (ok, there isn’t that). But there are a heck of a lot of questions about what Beady Eye’s new album, ‘BE’ contains. I had an early listen to find out what’s what…

Flick Of The Finger
This, you’ll know. You’ll know that it’s probably the furthest out Liam’s gone, musically, since Be Here Now. But it’s rather more enjoyable – brass from the people who do brass for Spiritualized (as I posted) and Primal Scream, spoken word bit read out by, erm, Fonejacker, this really is something new. As is Liam’s voice – mixed high and dry through the album, it sounds like he’s been gargling honey since the throat-rip Different Gear, Still Speeding sessions.

Soul Love
Listeners might be expecting the floodgates to open after Flick Of The Finger, which guitarist Gem Archer has called the “calling card” of the band’s new era. However, Soul Love is restrained, despite a world of sounds from producer Dave Sitek bubbling under the sinister chords. Muffled shotgun sounds and velvet-y organ presses whip up a feeling of intense mystery as Liam croons, “Get up off your knees my friend, promise never to pretend you’re the apple of my eye, spread your wings and learn to fly.” We’re a long way from Four Letter Word here.

Face The Crowd
On which the first truly big riff kicks in. And boy does it kick in – right from the off, then repeats, non-stop, relentlessly as this Beatles-y burble careers along. Liam sings of “playing to the gallery when you know it’s time to face the crowd” over Stonesy handclaps, with a Zeppy wig-out from Gem Archer. There’s just enough time for a space-rock outro so we all know Sitek’s still in control, though…

Second Bite Of The Apple
With its gloomy, clickety-clackety percussion and more echo than your average airplane storage facility, somewhat brilliantly, the first single sounds like something plucked from Eels’ back catalogue.

Soon Come Tomorrow
The first obviously Oasis-esque song on the album, the gentle chords that brush through it draw a line back to the Morning Glory days. A country-ish momentum gathers quickly, however, and despite an extremely Our Kid-esque guitar squall solo the song ends up sounding like something pulled from the pocket of Ryan Adams rather than his good friend Noel Gallagher.

Iz Rite
The upbeat strummer of the album, and despite its floaty production one on which more lines are drawn to Oasis. The cello flourishes plant a shadow memory of Don’t Look Back In Anger, although admittedly this is a very stylistically different song. “When you call my name it takes away my pain, so only love remains… just say it again” Liam croons on the sunny chorus.

I’m Just Saying
After the feelgood vibes, there’s the fighting talk. “You might think the grass is greener, here I am on the other side,” he spits on the heaviest, most rollocking rock number on the album. A reference to Noel’s solo endeavours? Almost certainly. “A 20/20 visionary would never waste a single day,” he later states, then declares he’s “feeling fine, this is my time to shine. It’s not too late, the future’s getting underway.” He never was short on confidence, mind.

Don’t Brother Me
And after the fighting talk, is this the peace offering? It’s hard to tell. This song is obviously about Noel: “Always in The Sun, with your Number One… sick of all your lying, your scheming and your crying,” Liam sings. And there’s the fact that he’s explicitly said it’s about Noel. But later, over heavy footstep crunch-effects and tightly-wound acoustics he asks him to, “Come on and give peace a chance, take my hand, be a man.” So, is Noel invited round for Christmas or not, then?

Shine A Light
Sandpaper-dry drums cut right through this fast-paced country-ish number, with just the odd Super Furry Animals-esque electro-squiggle here and there before a big, Lennon-flavoured piano drop. After repeated invitations to “Come on, shine a light,” Liam implores us to “Universalise”. Now that is an awesome new word.

Ballroom figured
Dare we suggest this one’s about Noel too? “Did you ever loan me that song? Did you ever know me at all? Listen to the world going round, looking through a hole in the wall… shoving our loving away… never once looking to say, we got the ride of our lives,” Liam sings on the most production-bare song on the album, with barely more than acoustic guitar for him to bed his vocals on. To be fair this song could be about some girlfriend or other he had in his teens, but hey.

Start Anew
A real sun-through-the-shrubs moment, as uplifting organs underpin Liam singing, “Help me understand, take me as I am, I change my point of view, anything for you.” Wind sweeps through Glasvegas-y guitar washes, the gentle acoustic kicks back and forth, and we end on one of the most tender moments Liam’s ever helmed. The last line he sings on album? “Come on take a chance and start anew, me and you, me and you...” Dare we suggest that it too is directed at a certain… ok, sorry, just draw your own conclusions, eh?

Beady Eye ready for battle

LONDON - Liam Gallagher reckons Beady Eye are “ready for battle and tickling people” ahead of new album BE.
After previewing psychedelic first single Second Bite of the Apple on Radio 1, Liam, explained their new spacious sound.
He said: “I wanted to sound like I sound around the house with a guitar, it’s like being bollock naked.”
Producer Dave Sitek was instrumental in making the record. Liam explained: “His music was blaring, I love it loud. All the other producers we worked with are a bit precious.
“In fact he even hired in more speakers.”
The album will be a number 1.

Liam has revealed that the title of the forthcoming Beady Eye album – 'BE' – was not his first choice.
The former Oasis frontman said he instead wanted to title the album 'Universal Gleam' but was outvoted by his band and label.
"[The title] is nothing to do with me," Liam said. "I wanted to call it 'Universal Gleam'. But at Columbia [their record label], a lot of people got their knickers in a twist, putting out a record called Universal Gleam when we're not on [the label] Universal. So yeah, it's 'BE'. 'BE'. 'BE' who you are. 'BE' whatever you fucking want to be. 'BE'. Fucking bumble-'BE'. I find that a bit more hippy-ish than fucking Universal Gleam.
Asked to explain what, exactly, Universal Gleam means, he explained: "Universal Gleam was when John [Lennon] and George [Harrison] met up with [Beatles publicist] Derek Taylor when Brian Epstein died. They went to meet him and he just said that they had a universal gleam about them. I wanted to call it that, but other people were going, 'No no no', so I went, 'Look, call it what you fucking want.'"
ahahahaha (the people always take him so seriously, he's just funny and not a dictator as Noel)


Liam Gallagher's former Oasis bandmate Bonehead has cast doubt on recent rumours that the Beady Eye star has had a falling out with The Stone Roses after bad behaviour at the band's Dubai gig.
A source recently told ("a source said" = bullshit, no name = sign of bullshit) The Sun (also called: The Bullshit) that Liam had a falling out with his Manchester heroes, after he said some things in Dubai that were 'out of order' - and even apparently had to be escorted away at one of the band's concerts.
Bonehead spoke out against the reports. In an email to NME, he wrote, "I wasn't in Dubai with Liam, I was in Barcelona with him for the first gig at the Razzmatazz, [he was] totally well behaved and a good night was had by all."
He went on to add, "First I've heard he was kicked out in Dubai, I'm sure I'd know if he was though. I don't believe a word of it, he was out with his wife and kid."
They don't know what to write to sell more.

It was the Stone Roses asking Liam and Beady Eye to support them. They also asked Noel Gallagher to sell hot dogs.

The Sun (and then the Italian Corriere della Sera) the other day also reported about Mario Balotelli offering his girlfriend to Real Madrid players. Of course another fake story that only idiots and desperate housewives could believe, officially denied by AC Milan, just like the stories about Liam ejected from pubs because drunk, denied by the people working there.

video for Second bite of the apple +reviews

LONDON - If you listen with earphones, it's amazing. I love the crescendo of the sound. Liam Gallagher "shits all over every other vocalist in rock". Noel is simply not able to write these cool and happy songs.

Little reviews from music experts on magazines: "That bare-boned, back-to-basics approach is definitely present in the druggy comeback song Flick Of The Finger, and it's just as tangible in the follow-up single, Second Bite of the Apple. Here, Gallagher and company let their T Rex flag fly high, crafting a big drunken sing-along powered by scant guitars and concussive horns, mixing equal parts of Britpop wit and abandon and some glam-rock undertones. It's the perfect song to mumble when you're stumbling home with your best mate."

"A couple weeks ago I wrote complimentary things about Flick Of The Finger, the first track to be released from BE, the second album from Beady Eye (aka Oasis sans Noel Gallagher). Now we've got another new one, and man, I like this even more than the first. Dave Sitek produced BE, and there are definitely textural and instrumental similarities to TV On The Radio here (especially in the incredible horns that propel the track). It's retro as hell, yeah, but Sitek treats that (essential) aspect of the band's identity with a wink, and in doing so, makes it feel oddly contemporary. It sounds fantastic. Listen."

"New track Flick Of The Finger seemed to demonstrate a visceral new energy, backed by a euphoric, grandiose horn arrangement. The band delivered another surprise, making an appearance on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show. Second Bite Of The Apple opens with rolling drums, a curiously playful stop-start rhythm. Building and building, it's catchy, singalong nature is matched to an arrangement which is as powerful as it is sparse."

from a fan:

"I love this song, first listen gave me goosebumps, 1000th listen my body trembles! Cant wait for the album! I'm right behind you, but let the haters hate, people like me and you got a mega album to look forward to, hopefully the haters will be cleaning all the brown off them after crawling out of granpa Noel's anus and will leave us to compare favourite songs etc! Still using the High flying smurfs album to send me to sleep on a night, still working a treat!! Roll on June 20 when I see king Liam in London!!"

Beady Eye album from 2069

LONDON - Some parts from Q Magazine (June edition) published tomorrow.

Dave Sitek, a sun-dodging LA studio nutjob, informed them, "you're stuck in 1969, I'm from 3069 - let's meet in 2069".

One of Liam's songs, Soul Love, was remodelled beaneath a giant screen showing "2001: A Space Odyssey". Sitek says he didn't want to change its acoustic flavour, "But I thought, what if the guitar belonged to an astronaut who's never coming back? He's on the spaceship strumming, as his home planet gets smaller through the window".

Although their debut album felt like the freshest Oasis album in years, "People didn't like the first one" [I don't agree with Liam about this... the fans and even the critics liked it. It's just that he wanted it to sell more] "so we couldn't do that again" [this is ok :].

"Noel's sold over a million, ours sold over 700,000. That'll do, but it didn't sell 20 million, know what I mean?"

Noel's songs are "missing some balls". "He goes, if I gave our kid a tune with a horn section on it, he'd freak out, man. Like, you're just a lying little bastard." There is splendid brass on two tracks from BE.

A song by Liam is both provocative and conciliatory, Don't Brother Me. "It means, don't come knocking on my door when everybody's fucking found you out" - suggesting the shine may come off Noel as a frontman (in fact, he's not able to be a frontman and many of his fans already got bored, also leaving his gigs and asking for Liam, and realising about Noel telling lies).

"Noel wanted out, man, don't be fucking kidded", Liam seethes. "He always wanted to be a frontman. He loves being in the fucking spotlight, being in charge. All that crap about [simpering voice] This has been thrust upon me, let's deal with it together. Fuck off, you've been planning it for years, you cunt".

The other 3 members of Oasis stuck with you. "The proof is in the pudding, mate. I'm not a cunt, I'm a good fucking guy. I've never sacked anyone in my entire life. Noel has, on the other hand".

This no-nonsense band is properly bonded, Beady Eye are extraordinarily tightly knit. Almost exceptionally among bands - who tend to hate each other and scatter as soon as they go offstage - this lot go on holiday together (always to Como lake near Milan too). There's no longer any sense of captain and crew, "we're all in charge", says Liam. Andy and Gem talk of Liam's singing as if they're curators of some precious national treasure.

Tabloid bullshit: Liam has been ejected twice from a London pub - denied by the people working there.

Beady Eye hired Quest management's Scott Rodger (among his charges: Paul McCartney, Arcade Fire), then spent much of 2012 writing and demoing, breaking off only to play some gigs with re-formed Stone Roses, and to perform Wonderwall at the Olympics Closing Ceremony. Noel had passed on the offer (because they were not paying him, not because he was asked to mime, as he said - they knew he's not a singer). Liam, witheringly: "that tune needed to be heard, at that event, from this voice".

"The album's gonna come out, hopefully people'll like it. If not, we tour it, and try and catpure them that way. If that doesn't work, we'll go [mimes phone call] - Noel?" - Liam laughs, which says: I'll never, ever be that desperate.

(for the songs details, see previous post)

"Glastobury is a fucking nightmare". Liam said two years ago: ''The sound is shit and really quiet. And now it's like Bond Street with mud, with loads of celebrities walking around in their boots and umbrellas. I'm not having it.''

Beady Eye BE, more details

MOON - I don't agree with Liam about that... the fans and even the critics liked the first album. It's just that he wanted it to sell more.

2nd review, song by song.

1. Flick of the Finger.
A dramatically urgent Beady Velvet Underground beat, blaring trumpets, fuzzy guitars and Liam proclaiming "the future gets written today". The central riff's from a 2004 Liam/Gem demo called Velvet Building because "it sounded like the Velvets and it kept building".

2. Soul Love
The anti-Wonderwall, as Liam's loved-up strum is subjected to terrifying electronics from producer Dave Sitek. Liam: "the whole song fits with the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey, with the baby going to the moon. We might have to just whack it on the internet - I'm up for getting arrested, or sued".

3. Face the crowd
A terrific, gambolling riff in an odd time signature. Liam: "Andy always comes up with the fucking bangers, which is weird". Andy: "It's about the bravado of being in a band. I'm pretty reserved, but when you're onstage, you've got to own it".

4. Second bite of the apple
A bassline like Joe Jackson's "It's different for girls" amid more fab brass and un-Oasis guitar effects. "The word is up, if you're tough enough", yowls Liam. Scott Walker's "The old man's back again" (from Scott 4) was an in-studio inspiration.

5. Soon come tomorrow
"What kind of love burns holes in your heart?", wonders Liam, among worried acoustics, bewildering synths and a contrastingly hot wah-wah guitar solo. Andy: "It's pretty personal, about something that happened between me and [his wife] Shiarra".

6. Iz rite
Liam: "It's like the Beatles on ecstasy, like a George Harrison-y Hare Krishna thing. Gem wrote it - I'm not saying it's fucking girly or anything, but he's definitely in touch with his feminine side at the moment".

7. I'm just saying
Andy: "my gist to the Morning Glor fans - us doing what we do very well". Super catchy and, yes, Oasis-y, but with that value added, future-now Sitek zing.

8. Don't brother me
Liam: "It is about a brother, but I do have two - and they're both fucking idiots". Step forward eldest brother Paul Gallagher. Another Liam acoustic strum, which launches off into deepest, darkest Sitekville on hypnotic synths and a sitar-y clang.

9. Shine a light
Tremendous opening riff in the style of The Stooges circa 1969 propels this way-out-there rocker with added backwards guitar. The rhythm came from a jam over Captain Beefheart's Mirror Man. Not even remotely Dadrock.

10. Ballroom figured
First recorded with full band, but when it came to Liam to overdub his voice, producer Sitek stripped it back to just acoustic guitar. Gem: "It sounded amazing, so we kept it like that. That's production, too - taking everything off".

11. Start anew
Another acoustic track with Liam's sweetest vocal ever. Andy: "Dave coaxed this Neil Young solo out of me, and it spins into an ending that doesn't quite resolve. We never push the epic button too hard".

Beady Eye new song Second Bite of the Apple (complete) +reviews

Girl in the queue, got an eye on you

Think you're in and she's looking for sin?

Yes you're not wrong

She wants to know what's in your pocket

Singing that song, dig it all night long

The word is up if you're tough enough x3

The word is if you're tough enough

Come on! Show what you love now x4

Shake my tree where's the apple for me

Tickle my feet with the NME (enemy)

Di Canio learned from Oasis

SUNDERLAND - No he didn't learn to be a Nazi dictator from Noel Gallagher. Paolo Di Canio has a karaoke machine and Liam Gallagher to thank for his English skills. Also, he's sporting Liam's sideburns.
The Italian’s former team-mate Alan Stubbs has revealed how the Sunderland boss struggled with the language when he signed for Celtic in 1996.
But, within a year, he had mastered the lingo — after buying a karaoke machine and singing along to songs by Gallagher’s band Oasis among others.
Stubbs explained: “Paolo’s spoken English wasn’t great when he arrived at Celtic from AC Milan. It was broken and stilted and it used to frustrate him.
“Then he came in one day and said he had solved the problem — he’d bought a karaoke machine.
“He decided if he couldn’t speak English, he’d learn to sing it.
It must have helped because, by the time he left Celtic a year later, his English was excellent.
“Paolo loved his music, in particular Oasis and the Manic Street Preachers.
“He’d learn a song at home, then belt it out in the dressing room the next day — at the top of his voice. It was brilliant entertainment, especially when he’d forget the words.”

Here we are again with the media darling: all the thing of asking Liam if he would reunite Oasis (in a moment when there's no point, with the new album), was built to have Noel's answer (no, of course, the big man who doesn't need anyone) and you can imagine on which website first: the Noel Musical Express... 

I wonder how can there still be fans not realising about all of this, but I see there are always more fans abandoning Noel.
That old scheme is also a bit stupid because Oasis fans of course love Oasis (and supporting Noel, they'll never have them back), and they should notice everytime Noel says no the the reunion ("not even for starving children", etc.). Some are so blinded by Noel they even say "Noel never said no"................
The real Oasis fans remained, are very few and are the "hardcore" ones, realising about Noel...
I even heard Noel saying he's TOO BUSY TALKING WITH HIS EX OASIS BANDMATES !!!!!!!!!!!!! Sure, in his fantasy (that he should use for writing his own songs, not copied, not taken from old session, not written with other Oasis members). Someone please help him.

Beady Eye new video

MOON - Astronauts... I clearly influenced them once again, now with my visits to the museums (piece of Moon in Milan @ Leonardo Da Vinci museum). They set it private, but I downloaded it ;) (it's the backstage of the cover shoot). 

Liam Gallagher has ditched his parka jacket on the cover of the new issue of Q out on Tuesday next week, as a sign that the band have changed their sound for the new album. 

He told the mag: “We couldn’t do that first album again. Jumpin’ Jack Flash and Lennon gear — that’s my thing. I could do that all day long but people don’t want that, so we had to do summat.”

That “summat” included drafting in producer Dave Sitek, who had the band watching "2001: A Space Odyssey" in the studio. Liam says he’s put in serious effort on the new record, admitting he cares so much about music that it could one day kill him.

He said: “I won’t die of a drug overdose or a fucking drinking habit.

“I’ll die of living and breathing and being in a band. It won’t be over snorting a line off someone’s head or drinking a daft drink. It’ll be because I’m into it too much. I’ll die of caring too much.”

Sitek also had the band burning sage leaves before recording to “ward off evil spirits”.

free Kasabian gig in Milan

MILAN - free concert @ piazza Duomo cathedral square! (gratis 30 maggio, anniversary of the first "Beady Eye" gig, 30 May 2000 in Milano, without Noel Gallagher the scaredy cat, leaving the band the second of 3 times, the would-have-been last Oasis gig in history included, Milan 30 August 2009, Kasabian played). Kasabian the band Noel's wife loves much more than his husband's depressing music that she hates. 

"free Milan gig! The boys will be playing a free gig in Milan's Piazza Duomo for Casa Bacardi Live on 30th May. The open air concert right in the heart of the Italian city will be completely free to fans and marks their only date in Italy this year". 

"It’s the whole culture, I feel like I slot right in because it’s just very relaxed. The food is incredible, but it is the people who make it. It’s obviously aesthetically beautiful, you’ve got ancient monuments and you can walk round them and they’re beautiful, but for me, it’s the actual people who live here. There seems to be a really good family spirit. There is still a beautiful family vibe."

Liam rides crocodiles

LONDON - Saint George's day, apparently Liam got drunk (which is very rare in Britain...) and tried to ride a dog ahahaha and of course it's a negative one so it's a big news for the British tabloids for desperate housewives preparing shite food and staying at home 'cause it's raining outside.
It seems he forgot to pay a pub, but then he paid.
Of course the manager "asked not to be named"... this is proof it's another fake story, like that one of Liam drunk at the pub, denied by the people working there.
Of course the tabloids refuse comments telling the truth... says a lot about them.
Of course haters as always find the way to fill their empty day, moralizing and attacking Liam without even knowing him, but always finding the time and never missing an article.
Of course the tabloids "forgot" to report all the good things Liam has done for the dogs.
Of course they even forgot their media darling Noel Gallagher, the scaredy cat, teaching his kids to throw stuff at harmless cows (why not alligators? no balls to do it?), of course that's NOT a bad example for the kids.
Of course they even forgot to report (yes, but to the police) about the looter Noel (speding £7,000 for a night in a bar and "waking up every morning with hangovers because I'm Irish") being the only one not paying... the train ticket to Manchester some weeks ago. He must be too busy still paying royalties for copying music.
But hey, according to Noel, "looters are fucking idiots"...
They must be proud at The Sun, in the Beady Eye new album Liam named them with Noel... about lying.

Noel Gallagher said the Nazi "David Bowie could release another album" because he's got a lot of songs, and this BIG NEWS from the media darling of my ass (Bowie doesn't give a fuck about Noel), is on ALL the websites, even THE SUN (!) of course, the NME Noel Musical Express (giving him the Godlike Genius award WITHOUT people voting), etc.
Sure Noel has no albums to release, 'cause he's the laziest fuck ever seen.
The 2012 album he had announced, of course was not released.
You can see why he's still paying the most money for copying songs. Even his "solo" album was made of Oasis songs from old sessions (2001 and 2004), written with other Oasis members, as Gem said.

interview with Harri Peccinotti

LONDON - The legendary photographer of Beady Eye's new album. Harri Peccinotti from the old-school Italian: groundbreaking graphic designer, musician, purveyor of the flesh, outlaw photographer, erotic connoisseur, rule-breaker extraordinaire. Every photographer who’s made a career out of taking sensual and erotic photographs of beautiful women owes a big debt to Harri Peccinotti. He was the first person to consistently capture the sexuality of everyday activities on camera: subversively pleasing sights like girls carefully sucking on Popsicles, close-ups of butts on bike seats, and California beach bunnies unknowingly shot with long lenses. The master lensman who, in 1968, after completing an assignment in Vietnam, photographed the now legendary Milano Pirelli pinup calendar, that paired love poems with photographic interpretations of the verses. He was, of course, invited back. This time Harri proceeded to up the erotic factor by featuring the aforementioned California girls in various states of undress—all girls he met while cruising the beaches.

Do you remember the first photo you took just for fun?

I took a lot of pictures in Holland because I was interested in the painter Mondrian. I used to go to Vlissingen when I was about 18 and go to where the trees that Mondrian used to [paint]. There’s the first tree he did. So I used to take photographs around Vlissingen, just people on the street and everything.

While you trained in graphics, you also played in a brass band in London. 

I used to play trombone and tuba and string bass. After two or three years in learning graphics, I changed and spent about two or three years professionally playing music. Then I was disillusioned with it all and I didn’t ever go back. Unfortunately, I haven’t practiced much since which is really stupid. Now I regret it, of course. But there are lots of little things I regret. I wish I had gotten into movies, I wish I had bought a house. I have a lot of what-ifs, but anyway, here I am.

You designed album covers for jazz artists on Esquire Records. Who were some of the biggies?

Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins and the Modern Jazz Quartet. They were all graphic things. They were not photographs at all. I got paid five pounds and you had to do all the overlays. I couldn’t go to America and photograph Miles Davis. And also, record covers at that time were drawings and things. They were not like they are now.

It must have been exciting to work in the 60s as the Sexual Revolution took flight. 

I suppose it was exciting, but maybe it’s an exciting time now. You don’t know until later, really. Even in the 60s you didn’t understand it was as exciting as it looks now. I think I [shot] the first nipple [to appear] in a calendar in 1968. That was the beginning of a sort of freedom, the idea that you didn’t have to get married, you could live with somebody. It was a real break from the 50s in England.

The “nip slip” to which you refer happened on your first Pirelli calendar shoot in Tunisia, right?

Yes, but it came naturally. I mean she didn’t have any clothes on. It’s just that I cropped somewhere where her nipple showed, that’s all. There’s a girl in a white t-shirt [in another photo], who was a friend, and through the t-shirt you see a black triangle, and they retouched it out. So it wasn’t that free even then, not for Pirelli anyway. Then, of course, a little bit later you could do complete nudes. Then it was, ‘If it hasn’t got nipples and crotches, then it’s not worth doing!’ There was no money when I did our Pirelli calendar. We didn’t have a hairdresser or a makeup artist, nothing. In America I didn’t even have models! I just used girls on the beach.

Why did you choose California as the location for the 1969 edition of the calendar?

I had been there two years before working on a film called Chappaqua and there were beautiful girls everywhere. I couldn’t believe it. When we finished the one in Tunisia I said, Oh, why don’t we go to California and just do it on the beach? So I talked them into it. Everything you ever read says the calendar was shot in Big Sur but it wasn’t. I did go to Big Sur to see William Burroughs before the shoot and I think that’s where the rumor got started. Anyway, it was shot around Los Angeles, Venice Beach mainly.

How did you find the girls?

When I was working on Chappaqua there were thousands of girls, but when we went there for the calendar there were none around because it was the school holidays. There were enough girls but quite difficult. And if you look, they’re the same ones. It’s just a little group we got to know. I bet a lot of them don’t even know they’re in the Pirelli calendar. I mean where would they ever see one? They’re just girls on the beach in ’68. You take their pictures and then you go away and they don’t even know if you were genuine or not.

Chappaqua featured a lot of members of the Beat Generation, like William Burroughs, whom you met during production. Were you part of the Beats?

Everyone was in it—Allen Ginsberg and Burroughs, Ravi Shankar, Grateful Dead. I spent six months in Los Angeles at the Beverly Hills Hotel and had nothing to do because the film came from Paris and was stopped at customs in America. It took weeks and weeks before they freed it. I used to go out with everyone and every Thursday I used to have a party in my room because I had expenses to get rid of. I was friends with people from Buddha Records so they would come and then maybe just the girl from the reception. Sometimes there were musicians.

Did you jam with anybody famous?

I played with the Mamas and the Papas. There were lots of groups all just wandering around stoned saying, ‘You’re free. Come play.’ I did recordings with the Lovin’ Spoonful, too.
(band from where the lazy fuck Noel Gallagher copied the lyrics for The Death of You and Me - and music copied from Pino Daniele - heard him in his travels to South Italy)

You even bought photos of a woman giving birth.

They didn’t want to do it. I bought the pictures without authority and you couldn’t buy a copy. It sold out within 10 minutes! In those days it was really quite a shock to see something like that.

You were among the first to use black models in fashion photography. Why was it important to you to help break through that barrier?

If a girl is beautiful, whether she’s black or white or whatever color she may be, I don’t see any difference at all. I was completely anti racial nonsense. Several times I asked to use some model who I liked a lot, who was black, and they’d give me really bad reasons like ‘Advertisers wouldn’t advertise,’ so at Nova I used to overdo it and I got into trouble a bit. They would say, ‘Don’t you ever use white models? What are you
trying to do?’

A lot of the models were your friends, right?

Yeah, I always used friends. At that time, editorially, I would never use a male model just because I don’t like male models. I like female models.

How would you describe your style?

I don’t know that I have a style. I’m probably a bit more closeup, or I used to be. I was always thinking graphically, to fill the screen. I didn’t like loose space hovering around the edge at that time, and then I was called “Mr. Close-up.”

You encouraged women to let their hair grow in one of your photo spreads for Nova.

I took a photograph of a crotch and it’s a double -page spread. I told the editor it was an underarm, and it says ‘Keep your hair on,’ or something like that. I always said I like girls with hair under their arms. I’m from the old-school Italian.

And judging by the length of your beard, the same rules apply for men.

I just grow a beard because I don’t want to shave!

How do you make women feel so comfortable enough to pose nude?

Maybe I’m no threat. Who knows? Now I’m like their grandfather, whereas then there was some rapport between us. I don’t even realize I look 90 years old but obviously to them I could imagine I’m a sort of ogre taking their picture. A lot of the people I’ve taken pictures of I know very well. Now I don’t have a friend who’s a model. Or they’re just too old to take their clothes off!

Some years ago, you released a book, H.P., which offers a look at your work over the last several decades. What are some of your favorite images from your career?

I have a favorite fashion picture, which is not actually a fashion picture: a girl in Africa wandering along who was so elegant and beautiful. I remember taking [photographs of] birds flying. Things like that stick in my mind. I still like the pictures. They’re not great or anything but it’s something that gave me incredible pleasure at the time.

What always shines through in your photos is that you love women.

I don’t necessarily make them look beautiful, which is something else. I’m not very good at that. I can make them look as they are. I don’t have a skill for making them look really beautiful.

Is there anybody you want to shoot that you haven’t?

I think Kate Moss is great but I’ve never taken her picture. There’s something about her that looks natural all the time, which I quite like. I like models that don’t look too much like models. She does, but she doesn’t. And I’m sure it doesn’t matter how you take her picture, she’s going to look great. You don’t need to be a wizard.

What’s next for you?

I think it’s just going to roll on. I have thousands of transparencies I haven’t sorted through that I’ll try to.

Di Canio instantly a legend

SUNDERLAND - There are cool cats and the failed jinx Noel Gallagher the scaredy cat, City fake fan (days ago he wondered how Di Canio could be a difference... as always, Noel doesn't know anything about football). Sunderland-Everton, Di Canio won again (feat. Oasis sideburns :). He's instantly become a legend... see from 1:30 ...amazing, inspiring... shivers.
Meanwhile, this same day in Italy... politicians re-elected the same old president Napolitano once again. Just like communism: progress... at the end he will be 95 YEARS OLD...
Noel Gallagher: "them fucking communists".

Noel Gallagher said the Nazi "David Bowie could release another album" because he's got a lot of songs, and this BIG NEWS from the media darling of my ass (Bowie doesn't give a fuck about Noel), is on all the websites, even THE SUN (!) of course, the Noel Musical Express (giving him the Godlike Genius award WITHOUT people voting), etc.
Sure Noel has no albums to release, 'cause he's the laziest fuck ever seen.
The 2012 album he had announced, of course was not released.
You can see why he's still paying the most money for copying songs. Even his "solo" album was made of Oasis songs from old sessions (2001 and 2004), written with other Oasis members, as Gem said.

Di Canio song 

Paolo Di Canio, you are the love of my life 

Paolo Di Canio, I'll let you shag my wife 

Paolo Di Canio, I want dirty knees too 

ahahahaha

Balotelli in the world's 100 most influential people

NEW YORK - Mario conquers the world. Balotelli is in the category "icons", like the icon of Oasis is Liam Gallagher, big fan of Mario. Now confirmed the rumours (haters-rosiconi said it was a "bufala", fake news), ex Manchester City now AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli is one of the world's 100 most influential people, in the list of Time magazine.
His goals and t-shirt "why always me" in the historic 1-6 victory in  the derby vs Manchester United and goals with Italy vs Germany at Euro 2012, are unforgettable.
He joins the likes of Pope Francis, Barack Obama and Michelle, film director Steven Spielberg, Kate Middleton, another Italian Mario Draghi, etc.
Also, Balotelli was wearing the Italian flag like Liam in Milan ("I like that Balotelli geezer, that Mario dude. He's top, he's smart. The crackers is cool. He has attitude. Right now footballers are just a bit too professional. You need exciting players, the ones who are a bit bonkers. Balotelli is crazy, but he is young. He will be a mega-player").

I gotta show you, man,

The meaning of soul

I'm taking on love tonight

Get outta my way, yeah man,

I dig what you say

But that ain't enough, alright

I'm a different breed

I'm outta your league

I'm 10 out of 10 all night

Get outta my way

I dig what you say

And that ain't enough alright

All rise

I see the love in your eyes

If it's alright

Then I'll be your light

(Liam Gallagher, The meaning of soul)

Pretty Green in Reading

READING - An alternative to the current ‘college boy’ look and a bit of attitude is coming to The Oracle this weekend. 

That is the promise from Pretty Green’s brand director Nigel Grant, who says the store is aiming to offer something a bit more edgy in men’s fashion.
The East Reading-born boss says he is genuinely thrilled to be opening a store in his home town where the company, founded by former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, first set up its headquarters and still has its distribution centre.
He said: “It feels good to be in Reading. There was always going to be two phases to our UK store roll-out and Reading was always going to be part of the second phase. I’ve grown up with The Oracle and it’s a great location.”
This will be the 13th Pretty Green UK store and three more are due to open in the next three months, in contrast to other retailers who are closing branches.
Mr Grant said: “I believe there’s two things important to me as brand director.
“Firstly, the high street is still the best place to show the customer what your brand is all about.
“You can get a feel and a vibe, it’s not just about the brand and clothing but what the attitude is about.
“Secondly, I think people want to touch and feel clothing. The high street is having a tough time and it may be in the next five or 10 years there is radical change to the way people actually interact with the brand on the high street and buy online but one thing is for sure, people will always want to feel the garment and try it before they actually buy it.”
The new store is almost opposite the hugely popular Hollister but Mr Grant says Pretty Green will offer something quite different.
The 47-year-old said: “We just try and create a cool vibe and a little bit of attitude and a lot of rock and roll.
“With dark wood panelling and a leopard print wall, it’s the kind of thing you see in a rock star’s house.”
Mr Grant continued: “There’s a lot of brands where I can’t tell them apart, they’ve morphed into one. It’s that college kid look.
“We are one of the few brands that caters for a wide age demographic. If you’ve got attitude and want to look cool and not like everyone else in the street we’re a good option.
“People over 40 or over 50 come in and carry it off. There’s something in our store which will resonate with everyone who has lived through the 90s but we do have an awful lot of teenagers now as well. That’s one thing that has excited us.”

Mr Grant says Liam, who has a home in Henley, prefers to keep a low profile at store openings but is likely to check out the Reading branch soon. He said: “He is very hands on. He has sign-off on pretty much everything we do. He is going to the Manchester City-Reading game so he might shimmy past.”
Mr Grant has been director of Pretty Green since it was formed in 2009 and has seen the business grow to 250 employees in the UK with 50 of them working in the warehouse in East Reading.
He said: “I’m proud to say we are a big employer in the local area and long may it continue.”
Pretty Green is set to open in The Oracle on Saturday with live performances from bands including Chinawhite from Warrington.
