Stories, Tales, Lies & Exaggerations

March 26... what happened on march 26? It rained a lot, well, yeah... I got a flat tire early in the morning, so?wgaf? hmm... what else happened today.... well, Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller covered "All You Need Is Love" live, eyyy wait a minute! say more!
"Noel Gallagher plays biggest ever acoustic show!". TOUCHE! he opened with "Talk Tonight" the first ever Oasis song I learned on guitar, the only one I got to teach my brother (of course, right after, I'd say the very next day, he skyrocketed from playing one song to i-can-play-any-song-without-taking-classes). Here's a quick resumé off the NME article:
WHERE: Royal Albert Hall
WHY: the first Teenage Cancer Trust show
WHO: Noel Gallagher + The View + Shack
Guests: Paul Weller // Gem Archer and Terry Kirkbride. (Liam was invited but Noel said that he used the words ''fuck' and 'charity' in the same sentence )
WHEN: Earlier today
SET:
'(It's Good) To Be Free'
'Talk Tonight'
'Fade Away'
'Cast No Shadow'
'Half The World Away'
'The Importance Of Being Idle'
'Butterfly Collector' (The JAM's cover)
'All You Need Is Love' (The Beatles' cover)
'Don't Go Away' (joined by an all-female string section)
'Listen Up'
'Sad Song'
'Wonderwall'
'Slide Away'
'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' (The Smiths' cover, and Noel's "favorite song ever")
'Don't Look Back in Anger'
'Married With Children'
'Strawberry Fields Forever' (The Beatles' cover)

NEXT: Tomorrow, second Teenage Cancer Trust gig for Noel, this time joined by his friends The Coral.
Noel lent his personal london studio to the Coral to record their next album, he has faith in them even tho the band was disappointed as how their last production was received. Noel gave them the inspiration and the studio (I don't have an exact source for this fact, but I've seen it all over magazines).

BTW!!! Here is Travis' new video for their single "CLOSER" featuring Ben Stiller. eso e una yuca??? (I said it was going to be a messy post)

That tshirt that Healy is wearing: "Radio Clyde 261", popularized by Frank Zappa, is going to be selling at my clothing store Armoire Rouge! what a beautiful coincidence! God, I missed them=D

To mess things up a bit more, I want to mention (just in case you don't know): Scorsese and DiCaprio are going to collaborate again and again (remember they are going to work on "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt" too!!) "The Wolf of Wall Street" will be about Jordan Belfort's autobiography. From what I could gather, nowadays Belfort is an executive producer, but served 20 months in prison for refusing to cooperate in a famous 90's Wall Street fraud (mob included!!). If you have the time read why it is such an interesting case for an Scorsese movie read this. I can't wait for the Scorsese treatment on that subject (mob included!!)... actually any subject... is it me or The Departed leaves you like a junkie? What a fine movie! (and YOU, yes you know who you are: WATCH IT TONIGHT! get it over with! you won't regret it!).

And a final messy comment: If i lived in NYC, the highlight would be Bjork's early May performances, but another artsy feast to catch at the Big Apple would be Bowie's latest festival equation Arcade Fire + Ricky Gervais + Air + Secret Machines + Polyscary Spree + dunnowhoelse. What Im saying is that if I were Harold, I would go to MSG on May 19, and watch Ricky Gervais standup debut.
