Despite having claimed to not know how to send text messages or e-mail, Oasis’ Noel Gallagher is maintaining something of a road journal on Oasis’ web site as the band kicks off their tour for the upcoming Dig Out Your Soul LP. In his latest entry, Noel says he and his co-horts have once [...]

I bought a copy of the new Martin Scorsese flick Shine A Light on Blu-ray DVD yesterday.  It’s based on the true story of this British band called The Rolling Stones that’s kind of old and they play a concert at the Beacon Theater in New York City.  That Scorsese!  He thinks of everything.

It’s one of those savage Mondays and I’m sure there’s some line somewhere about music and savage but I just don’t care enough to try to get the cliche right. My brain is bruised and the rest of me doesn’t feel so fuckin’ fabulous either.
