Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
Liam Gallagher is quickly getting over Oasis. Along with his clothing label, he says that he wants to form another band eventually. But he doesn’t “wanna do anything solo, it’s not my thing. I want to be in a band.”
“Pulp have no plans to get back together.” So says Jarvis Cocker who claims his words about playing Glastonbury were “twisted.” And that’s that.
AM-friendly rockers Midlake have announced a follow-up to 2006’s stunning The Trials of Von Occupanther is on the way. The “slower, darker” The Courage Of Others is set for a February 2, 2010 release.
Q Magazine held its annual awards ceremony last night. According to them Lily Allen had the best track, Arctic Monkeys were the best live act, Kasabian made the best album and Muse are apparently the best act in the world today.
From now until Halloween, you can download the beautiful Timber Timbre album for free. And yes, it’s legal! We love it, you should too.

10/26/09 News briefs: Mighty Boosh, Creation Records, Morrissey, Pulp and indie rock tutorials
Monday, October 26th, 2009
Not only is The Mighty Boosh coming to the big screens, but Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt have fessed up that they’re also working on an album!
A new documentary on the triumphant and turbulent history of Creation Records will premiere in February, 2010. Titled Upside Down, the doc will feature interviews with everyone involved in the label, including co-founder Alan McGee, Oasis’ Noel Gallagher, and Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, among others.
Poor Morrissey. The Moz was just about to begin a concert at the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon, England when he collapsed on stage and was rushed to the hospital. He was released from a hospital yesterday and is said to be resuming his tour eventually.
Pulp may reunite for Glastonbury 2010. So says Jarvis Cocker, who recently admitted “Glastonbury means an awful lot to me, I would love to play there again. We’ve talked about it, there we go, there’ll be a band reunion.” Now that’s a reunion worth seeing.
And if you’ve ever wanted to learn how to play Vampire Weekend’s “A-Punk” or The National’s “Fake Empire,” CBC’s Q has video of the bands giving a tutorial how.
