A few things from this months Mojo Magazine …

Noel confirmed that Zak has left the band and that former La’s drummer Chris Shanrock is taking over. He was offered the job after Alan left, but after Noel got in contact with Zak.

There are five different versions of the album, “There’s the cheap digital one, there’s the other digital one that’s slightly more expensive, there’s a physical one in the shops, the there’s a deluxe’ one that’s slightly more expensive, then there’s a super deluxe one that has everything on it”.

Noel on the new songs …

Bag It Up – Opening track. Inspired by the Pretty Things’ song ‘Baron Saturday’ which appeared on their 1968 album S.F Sorrow. Noel’s gutted as he didn’t realise ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell released a song of the same name.

Shock of the Lightning – The first single, written by Noel, sung by Liam. Out on September 29. ‘Instant and compelling’ according to Noel.

I’m Outta Time – Liam-penned, Liam-sung ‘lighters-in-the-air, John Lennon moment’ according to Noel. First heard being rehearsed by Liam on DBTT studio documentary.

Soldier On – Another Liam number, last track on the album. Liam recorded it with Andy while pissed and band forgot about it until The Coral stumbled across it in Noel’s studio and begged them to record it. Noel describes it as ‘just one verse and one chorus’ and ‘a kind of lost-and-found story’. It goes ‘a bit dubby’ at the end and Noel plays melodica on it.

Two other rumored tracks

Stop The Clocks – Rumoured to be on there, yet to be confirmed.

Get Off Your High Horse (Lady) – Rumoured title, yet to be confirmed.

There are no guests, but HOVA is in fighting form on Pyramid Stage

Jay-Z headlined Glastonbury tonight (June 28) in front of one of the largest crowds the Pyramid Stage has ever seen.

The rapper tackled the controversy over his top slot billing head-on from the first moment of the set.

Before taking to the stage, the stage’s video screens played Noel Gallagher’s recent statement, “I don’t want hip-hop at Glastonbury” (see below).

It ended with Gallagher saying, “Jay-Z? no fucking chance”, as the rapper took to the stage and mimed along to Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’.

He then launched straight into ’99 Problems’, which was spliced with AC/DC’s ‘Back In Black’ guitar riff.

Michael Eavis praises rapper’s headline festival appearance

Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis has claimed that he’s not worried Noel Gallagher will be offended after being dissed in Jay-Z’s intro tape.

However, the organiser warned that last night’s (June 28) hip-hop set could be a one-off, as there is only one Jay-Z.

With the show beginning with a video montage that sent up the Oasis guitarist’s quote that Jay-Z would have “no fucking chance” at Glastonbury, Eavis said he was not worried the former headliner would be upset, because “he can take care of himself”.

“Jay-Z’s intro tape was great, wasn’t it?” said Eavis. “Noel can take it, they’re tough fellas, aren’t they? They used to work on a building site, didn’t they? They can handle it. They’re good friends of ours though, they’ve helped us a lot in the past the Gallagher brothers, I’m not going to slag them off. It’s up to Noel if he wants to criticise the Jay-Z thing. Jay-Z triumphed in the end. Everyone knew all the words, as far back as I could see they knew them, it’s incredible. Absolutely amazing.”

When asked if Oasis could follow next year as headliners, Eavis joked: “If they like, all sins are forgiven Noel! Jay-Z was a good trick this year, wasn’t it? It worked really well, it was an unusual thing to do, bring hip-hop from the streets of New York to Glastonbury and it be so successful, it was a real triumph,” he said.

“He put so much into it, but he was thrilled how it went and his wife Beyonce, she was dancing around. She wasn’t tempted to get up onstage? We didn’t need it, Jay-Z held it together really well. We got a text from [Coldplay's] Chris Martin saying he watched it all on the website in America, he was really thrilled, he said it was ‘absolutely brilliant’.”

Eavis added he had been pleased how well the festival goers had taken to the slightly different headline act, after all the speculation that Jay-Z might not go down well with the traditional crowd.

“Jay-Z just worked for us, it could have gone the other way, but the crowd were into it,” said Eavis. “They knew all the words, that amazed me, it’s very fast street New York poetry, isn’t it? It amazed me people knew all the words, and two of those were my grandchildren! Jay-Z was probably a one-off, we shall see, we’ve got lots of opportunities for next year. We’ve got back the respect, and everyone wants to do it next year. But you can’t get another Jay-Z, he’s a one off!”

Eavis then gave credit for booking the rapper to his daughter Emily, who co-organises the festival.

“Emily is doing very well, she makes some good decisions,” he explained. “The Jay-Z thing was her decision, but she got me to do the work on it. She said “Daddy, will you phone?” It went on for ages but we pulled it off in the end.”
