I know there are a few Oasis fans on here, so they might find this interesting. They're getting a little creative with the release of their upcoming album "Dig Out Your Soul".

Today they're arranging for four different street musicians to play some of the unreleased tracks on the streets of NYC. And looking at the list of musicians who will be participating, I definitely want to see some of these performances, which will be filmed.

Friday September 12th will see street musicians performing four new tracks from 'Dig Out Your Soul'. At various locations in the city, including Grand Central Station and Times Square, the songs 'Bag It Up', 'The Turning', '(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady' along with forthcoming single 'The Shock Of The Lightning' will be performed by acts ranging from 'Shred Violin' to 'Double Bass Rock'.

Also, they're releasing the songbook for the album online next week. The album doesn't come out for another month.

The day of street performances ties in with the Oasis Songbook which goes live next Tuesday. Fans from around the world will have the opportunity to download the sheet music and vocal melodies of the four tracks then submit their renditions via YouTube to be in with the chance of winning a trip to see Oasis play at any gig around the world. UK fans can also buy a collector's version of the songbook which goes on sale with next week's NME.

It's nice to see a band do something different every now and then. Now, as a fan, I hope their music gets a little more creative this time.

Didn't one of them get beat up at a concert the other day?

Not really beat up but Noel got shoved in the back in the middle of a song and hit the ground the other night. Supposedly he was mildly injured but I'm sure he was well medicated and didn't feel a thing.

By a Canadian, no less. The Mounties have really fallen off their game.

My boy Jay-z took a shot at him in his new song b/c one of them was mouthing off about how slow ticket sales was b/c of him....so he decided to open his UK concert (that Oasis was performing at as well) with his version on Wonderwall....it was pretty entertaining.




I'll without a doubt get this album
