Better than Oasis?

It was inevitable. Sibling rivalry has disbanded Oasis. I mean, probably. Maybe. Noel Gallagher has quit a couple of times before, but this time, I actually believe him. In an official release on the official website for the group this week, he wrote:

"It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.

"Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan."

Oasis Attacked... But Not By Each Other

WTF?



This is video from last night's show closers at Toronto's V Fest, Oasis. Apparently a guy got swept up in the heat of the moment and managed to get past both festival, and personal security guards. He gave a cowardly, from-behind push to Noel and it was enough to knock him over. He also took a swing at Liam, but the security got to him and the situation was quickly resolved. They finished their set, which is quite commendable considering that Noel was hospitalized after.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that Noel and Liam deserved it but, c'mon. They are notorious for being asses. It was bound to happen eventually. Afterall, they've offended their fair share of people. It's just a shame that it happened in Toronto.

Don't hate us, Oasis. The rest of the city is behind you. We're just not gonna run up and push you over.

And that is why I gotta keep runnin'

Post V Fest

Okay, so that's a really misleading title for this post. Sort of. Technically, it's true. It will be post V-fest Toronto about now. But I didn't attend V-fest this year even though I love half of the bands who are playing.

I decided I don't really like large music festivals. First off, being petite, I can't really see anything. While there is value to music festivals in which you can't see anything (ie. being with friends, gushing over your favourite bands, festival atmosphere etc.), I just prefer seeing bands in smaller settings. I like to push my way to the front, but in a music festival, I'd just end up watching it on a megatron. I might as well do that at home for free on tv.

This is what I saw when Death Cab For Cutie played at Olympic Island a couple of months back. And that was when I held my arm over my head with the camera.


Not much of a view. But then a very generous and giddy girl sitting on someone's shoulders behind me took this one for me. I could see via my camera lens! Note to self: please bring a camera to shows more often.Death Cab for Cutie - No Sunlight (mp3) (buy)

Anyhoo, I will leave you with a couple of tracks from the headliners at V-fest.
