Closure is generally a good thing. After John Cusack achieved it in “High Fidelity” he ended up getting back together with his insanely cute girlfriend and starting a record label. We’re pretty sure the dudes from Oasis already have cute girlfriends, or wives or whatever. And that there’s about a million rich dudes in London that would give them a record label no questions asked. But all the same, we hope something in a similarly positive vein comes their way.

After news at the end of summer that Noel had left the band, things weren’t looking up for the Gallagher Brothers. But now, Liam has officially confirmed the inevitable. “Well, Oasis is no longer,” Liam told the London Times. “I think we all know that. So that’s done.” Little more was said of it besides notign they had a good run and that his mind ha salready moved on to his next musical project, whatever that will be. Nice to see he’s got a positive outlook on the whole thing, and not, you know, looking back in anger. (Via: P4K)

Add Sex Pistols singer John Lydon to the list of those mourning the demise of Oasis; the musician has reportedly revealed that he was “sad” to hear that the band had split. Female First quotes Lydon as saying, “It is sad. They’re a nice backdrop band on a dull day. There’s no content or depth to Oasis but it’s still poignant.” He added, “Noel is fantastic, one of Britain’s finest,” but suggested that Liam had aped his vocal style: “Liam’s alright if you want a second-rate Rotten. I remember hearing ‘Rock N Roll Star’ for the first time and it sounded like John Lennon and John Lydon mixed together.”

Damning praise, for sure.

After Oasis canceled their set at the Rock En Seine festival in Paris late Friday night, Noel Gallagher announced via their website that he has officially called it a day. “It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight,” Gallagher wrote. “People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.” The band was scheduled to play more European festival dates over the weekend, performances at Rock am See in Germany as well as I-Day Festival in Milan also canceled as a result of the rift.

In other, more widely circulated news, Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein was found dead in his New York apartment late Friday night, after what NYPD officials have suggested was a crack cocaine overdose. A crack pike, prescription pills and a “half bag of crack cocaine” were found in Goldstein’s apartment. Below is video of Goldstein mashing Oasis and MIA while performing at last year’s Lollapalooza festival.

After years and years of trying to convince the world that they were better than not only the Beatles but anyone whose ever even looked at or thought about a musical instrument, Oasis has enlisted the Hairy Fairy, aka Devendra Banhart, to remix the next single from the band’s new album Dig Out Your Soul. He chose jug band burner “Get Off Your High Horse Lady,” which you have to register at the Oasis community to actually hear. We did that and still couldn’t, so we’re going to just repost what the Oasis fans had to say about it on the message board…

I prefer album version. Of course with it’s Indian theme, it feels very Jamaican to me. Anyone else? That strumming acoustic in the background really sets a tone different than the other ‘Techno’ bits that are usually inter-laced in remixes.

- All in all this sounds like a completely different song, which I gather it is supposed to. A little low key and monotoninous for me though. Also, I guess due to popularity of it right now, can’t access whole version and it is pretty laggy.

.Rubber.Soul.
Why remix this song?

It would be like painting a turd purple. Pointless and stinky.

shakermakerman

Still prefer the album version, but it’s still a good remix.

Noel Gallagher has been blogging on the Oasis MySpace regularly while on their recent tour to South America, which, according to the notoriously grumpy guitar player, has been so good, he’s “nearly wrote five new songs on this leg alone.”
