It’s an extremely insight view to the mind of Noel. NME’s has written an intresting article on some of the topics he’s blogged about already:

Oasis’ Noel Gallagher has been writing a blog documenting his band’s current US tour, in which he revealed that he wishes that US Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama was British.

Gallagher explained that he watched Obama making his recent acceptance speech on US TV, which he felt particularly inspired by.

“Managed to catch that Barack Obama’s speech to the Democratic rally,” he wrote. “Impressive stuff. Spellbinding in fact. Wish he was one of ours. Why do Americans believe they’re electing the president of THE WORLD though?”

In Noel Gallagher’s blog, which is available to read on Oasisinet.com, the guitarist also revealed that he finds one of the most frustrating things about being on tour is fans constantly asking him for photos.

Oasis are to release their first ever official remix with new single ‘The Shock Of The Lightning’.
The track, out September 29, will feature a Chemical Brothers remix of ‘Falling Down’ – a track from forthcoming album ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ - as its B-side.

Although there have been several unofficial and bootleg remixes during Oasis’ career, this is the first time the band officially allowed outside producers access to one of their songs.

The single will be available on CD, seven-inch vinyl and download formats. Fans who download the single from Oasis’ official website, Oasisinet.com, will be able to download the promo video to ‘The Shock Of The Lightning’ as well. The band have also confirmed that they will tour the UK this year.

‘The Shock Of The Lightning’ will get its global radio debut this Friday (August 15) at 8.15am (BST). The album, ‘Dig Out Your Soul’, will be released on October 6.

NME has just posted an intresting article, on Jay-Z and Noel’s “feud”. We truly feel this is just something overblown out of proportion, but oh well. Here’s what they had to say:

Jay-Z has rapped about Oasis’ Noel Gallagher live on stage - dissing the guitarist and mocking his hit, ‘Wonderwall’. The rapper delivered the lines during a show at New York’s Madison Square Garden last night (August 6).

During the show Jay-Z rapped: “That bloke from Oasis said I couldn’t play guitar/Somebody should have told him I’m a fuckin’ rock star”.

He then reprised a line from Oasis’ 1995 hit ‘Wonderwall’, rapping, “Today is gonna be the day that I’m gonna throw it back to you”.

A public spat has blown up between the pair since Noel Gallagher said Jay-Z was “wrong” for Glastonbury earlier this year. Jay-Z then opened his headline slot on June 28 this year with a cover of ‘Wonderwall’.

Go check out the NME website for more info on a Noel interview, on their next issue, and the infamous Jay-Z rapping video.

Backbeat, the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don’t believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don’t know how

Because maybe
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You’re my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they’ll never throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow
Realized what you’re not to do
I don’t believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don’t know how

I said maybe
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You’re my wonderwall

I said maybe
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You’re my wonderwall

I said maybe
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
