www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/sftw/3762369/NOEL-GALLAGHER-on-Oasis-split-writing-songs-for-Madonna-and-the-High-Flying-Birds.htmlGreat interview some quotes: "I just never wanted to be a solo artist," he admits, stirring sugar into his cappuccino. "I f**king loved being in Oasis." "But it's not a band, it's my mates helping me out. I guess in a romantic vision of the future, I will gather together a solid line-up then drop the 'Noel Gallagher' to just be the High Flying Birds. But I might be 65 by then and I'll be more like a low-flying owl!" "Plus it's easier on your own. You get an idea, something happens, you book a studio, within a day you're in there. You don't have to gather everyone. 'Where's Liam? Oh he's in rehab? Where's Gem, Oh he's fell-walking. You can just get in there and think, 'F**k I've made a dance tune.'" SFTW are treated to some of Noel's songs - Everybody's On The Run, new single The Death Of You And Me (a shot from the video, below) and AKA... What A Life! - a pounding dance track reminiscent of his collaborations with The Chemical Brothers. "I asked Fatboy Slim to remix the song because I f**king love him," reveals Noel. "But he said he couldn't do anything with it as it's great. "I was thinking of the piano from (classic dance track) Rhythim Is Rhythim's Strings Of Life. It was very acid house to begin with and so I was thinking of giving it to someone. I thought about Madonna then (Noel's wife) Sara said, "Don't be daft, Madonna won't sing it. When are you likely to see Madonna?" So that spoiled it. "I'm not a frontman. I've got nothing to say and I haven't got any moves. And I never will be as good as Liam. My whole life was Sideshow Bob and I was happy." "Well I think it's a f**king shame we won't get to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Morning Glory. But Liam is on record as saying the thought of it makes him want to vomit and I don't want to add anything more to that."

'Where's Liam? Oh he's in rehab? Where's Gem, Oh he's fell-walking.'
Brilliant.
Hearing that What A Life was too good to be remixed is promising. Shame they didn't tell us a little about Everybody's On The Run. Can't wait for that track, the strings and choir are amazing.

Nice one, i would love him to release EOTR just before the album and napalm every other fuckin thing on the radio, but the song is prob too grand and epic to be a single, but i can see it everywhere, on movie soundtracks etc, oh and what a life sounds very very interesting

"I would really like people to stop and listen. That's why I'm playing all-seated venues because the lad swilling beer element has got to go."
I have standing tickets for usher hall...

"I would really like people to stop and listen. That's why I'm playing all-seated venues because the lad swilling beer element has got to go." I have standing tickets for usher hall... I don't know how to feel about that quote. On one side it's great that it won't be exactly like Oasis, on the other side I want to hear some killer rock tunes like the A Simple Game Of Genius-soundcheck, which wouldn't fit all-seated venues.

Noels shows will be more theatre than BDI and Oasis. And I'm okay with that. It fits him better than the other. Cheers Noel!
Blame Costa Rica!

So apparently Noel played the intro of TDOYAM himself, not as others were assuming. Eh..what about the brass section then?

I really like that. It makes me feel really excited about sitting down with the whole album and listening to it all the way through. As long as Noel hasn't sacrificed quality for flow again.
Seems like Noel has put some real thought into this!
Also...AA are sounding more and more mental with every comment.

And at least for any doubters Noel clearly says that with TDOYAM was more of a whisper to the fans than a bang, indicating there are some "banging" tunes on the album, i think he is reeling us all in then will blow our heads off with EOTR or such like
