Noel Gallagher tells Bono to 'shut up' It's Oasis vs U2 Oasis star Noel Gallagher has laid into Bono, telling him to "shut the f*** up about Africa". Speaking about bands who focus on political issues rather than playing their back catalogues, Gallagher singled about U2's focus on charities. He said: "Play 'One', shut the f*** up about Africa." Gallagher also hit out against Radiohead. He said: "Thom Yorke sat a piano singing, 'This is f***ed up' for half-an-hour. We all know that Mr Yorke. "Who wants to sing the news? No matter how much you sit there twiddling, going, 'We're all doomed,' at the end of the day people will always want to hear you play 'Creep'. Get over it." Oasis are set to pick up the Outstanding Achievement at the 2007 BRIT Awards ceremony later this month (February 14). Speaking about their continuing relevance in light of the award, Gallagher told the Telegraph: "We had two number ones last year (in 2005), we're punching our weight with young kids, we still look good." For more on Oasis see next week's special souvenir issue of NME, which will be on UK newsstands nationwide from February 14. Not only will it feature a brand new exclusive interview with Noel Gallagher, the issue boasts three classic covers handpicked by the guitarist and a comprehensive look at Oasis' career so far.

Morrissey fans petition to get track into the charts Followers aim to get 'Life Is A Pigsty' in the Top 40 Morrissey fans have been campaigning to get his track 'Life Is A Pigsty' into the charts. The track is taken from 'Ringleader Of The Tormentors' album, which was released last year. Fans are asked to sign up to the Getmozinthecharts.vze.com and download the track between February 12-18. On a Morrissey fansite the poster says: "For this campaign to work we need everyone to get involved so please do all you can to spread the word."

Damon, the yes votes for a TOB forum have gone up to 29 now. :D

Well the source is NME so I think it could well be true. ^_^ It bodes very well for the album if even the b-side is as good as it's currently being said to be. :D

The best idea with All Saints would be for them to re-issue the album with a few new tracks on which could be very single worthy, they should then give it the right promotion and they could maybe be sucessful that time. ^_^ However, I'm not sure EMI would have the money to fund that project seeing as they are already struggling for cash from the looks of things and if it flopped again it would mean them losing even more money. Hopefully when they merge with Parlophone they won't have taken All Saints off their books and they'll have a bit more money to spare. :unsure:

Klaxons :D

I think the following songs from your chart are good - 01. Sugababes vs. Girls Aloud - Walk This Way [1-] 02. Nelly Furtado - Say It Right [2-] 03. Kelis - Lil Star [8-3-] 04. Amy Winehouse - You Know I’m No Good [7-1-1-2-6-1-2-1-3-4-] 05. Timbaland feat. Nelly Furtado & Justin Timberlake - Give It To Me [5-] 13. All Saints - Chick Fit [1-2-5-13-] 15. Just Jack - Starz In Their Eyes [15-] 17. Just Jack - Writer’s Block [13-17-] 18. Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around [10-18-] :D

Thanks. :D Unfortunatley it's really struggling to get the votes it needs now after the fairly busy first few days.

Alex Turner previews new song while out shopping Sheffield fans get Arctic Monkeys treat Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner gave fans a sneak preview of his band's new album in a clothes shop yesterday (February 7). The singer was shopping in Sa-Kis in Sheffield, where he played a track, believed to entitled 'Satisfaction', on his laptop. Turner told the fans he met in the shop the track was the B-side to the band's next single, 'Brianstorm', to be released on April 16. After the impromptu preview, assistant manager of the shop Ian Theasby told NME.COM the track "could be one one of the most classic B-sides for the greatest hits in 10 years time". For the full story go to our blog News Vulture now. Meanwhile the band are set to release their second album, 'Favourite Worst Nightmare', on April 23.

I've been awaiting this album for a while now but I was reading on Wikipedia that Kanye has said it's going to be released later than it was expected, HMV have it listed for a date next month but I can't see that being very likely now. Wikipedia also mentions that the debut single from 'Graduation,' is supposed to be a song named 'Homecoming,' which was penned with Chris Martin, personally I find Coldplay a boring band but Chris Martin has managed to help artists such as Nelly Furtado with 'All Good Things,' so maybe it won't be too bad. :)

Hi. :D

That's great for Lily Allen, I didn't know whether she would be sucessful in America or not but it looks like she could have quite a career over there. :D That leave hope for when Klaxons release 'Myths Of The Near Future,' there next month. :)

Thanks to Justin's producers he does manage to make good music as a solo artist, however I hated *NSYNC so I think we have to give the credit to Timbaland mainly for Justin's change in genre, without having such an established producer on his records he would have probably failed to pull it off.

I don't have a problem with The Sun when it comes to big boobs as big boobs are very good! :D When I mention music press I mean the likes of NME but I'm glad that there are papers out there who are hyping Mr Hudson & The Library. :)

Good. :D I'm going now anyway, bye. :)

While you are here please vote yes for a forum on The Ordinary Boys as it really does need all the yes votes it can get. http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...=0&&do=findComment&comment=760652 Thanks. :D

Fair enough, I'm sure you'll try your best. :)

:lol: Is Kelly Osbourne your mosted hated artist then? From the looks of things it didn't do much for her career. :unsure:

Either way I suppose The Ordinary Boys are doing to badly for themselves currently, it probably would have given them a big boost in record sales back then though.

I agree that TOB are much better than Orson but I still think Orson are good. :D Have you managed to promote the TOB forum yet Luciano? Don't worry if you haven't, I was just wondering. :)

I presume you would have rather seen The Ordinary Boys over Kelly Osbourne then? :lol:

Orson are a good band aswell imo, I think that they and Sugababes need to do a tour together seeing as Orson wrote 'Easy,' and 'Good To Be Gone,' and they also share the same manager. ^_^

Did Kelly Osbourne support Robbie once and freeze on stage? :unsure: Thanks for voting yes for a TOB forum by the way Jupiter. :)
