Ritorna il discusso Isaac "Sak" Noel, che poco tempo fa aveva conquistato l'Europa con "Loca". Ne avevamo parlato qui, sottolineando come il suo brano avesse fatto molto arrabbiare le istituzioni catalane per la difusione di una immagine molto diversa della città di Barcellona da quella che le sue bellezze trasmettono. Il brano è stato però un successone vincendo(diremmo purtroppo) un disco di platino e uno d'oro. Adesso torna con "Paso (The Nini Anthem)" che si candida a tormentone europeo dell'estate e probabilmente lo diventerà e che intanto viaggia al suono [...]
Ils sont en marge de la scène musicale habituelle, ils ne jouent pas dans les mêmes salles, n'ont pas le même public, bref, pour le commun des amateurs de musique , ils n'existent simplement pas. Eux, ce sont les musiciens chrétiens. Pourtant, quand on cherche à les localiser, on les trouve en nombre. Hip hop chrétien, métal chrétien, pop chrétienne, electro chrétienne… Une activité cachée mais intense. Mais même si c'est Noël et même si je devrais n'être que joie, amour, espoir, je dois le dire, je suis un peu déçu. Je m'attendais [...]
Profitons de cette période de Noël pour nous élever un peu et redécouvrir l'une des plus anciennes chorales de la Cité Calvin : La Société de Chant Sacré de Genève . La présidente du choeur, Lucie Page , nous présente les voix qui se cachent derrière cette enseigne et nous invite à nous laisser porter par le chant sacré! Ces voix qui se superposent, s'accompagnent, partent en solo, forte, diminuendo... On se surprend presque à rêver en contemplant les voûtes de la chapelle Sixtine... Pardon, de la Cathédrale Saint-Pierre. A tous [...]
Tu est vert parce que cette année tu ne vas pas en classe de neige ? Tu voudrais bien pouvoir arborer ta deuxième étoile en société ? En fait, tu te sens trés Jean Claude Duss, inside ? Tu kiffes le vin chaud ? L'époque bénie des sous-pulls en lycra et des cagoules en laine qui pique [...]
Noel Gallagher met up with Paul McCartney at the former Beatle's gig in Milan at the weekend....

Dear Béatrice not only made a great second album, she's spoiling the fans with extra tracks and collaborations. Out since today is her version of White Christmas (in French) as a guestvocalist of Michel Legrands Christmas-album . Sweeping! By the way, if you like heavily tattood, husky singing Canadian females, head over to Christmas-a-gogo and pick up a fuzzy seasonal song by Jody Glenham. Furthermore, I discovered that CdP sang a cover of Buddy Holly's Everyday for a Canadian Activia-ad . Downloadable for free via Facebook, but I've made it easier. And finally a [...]
French music giant Michel Legrand made a Christmas-album , with featured guests like Jamie Cullum, Mika and Carla Bruni. It's released in two versions, one with the best-known international stars (Iggy Pop too), one with more French singers, like Olivia Ruiz and Coeur de Pirate. Shame. The track with Carla Bruni isn't the stand-out song on the album, yet it will gather the most attention I guess. So here it is. The orchestra sounds great, Carla should refrain from trying to sing - her whisper is good enough. For me, at least. The song by the way is a [...]
Christmas is nigh (40 days and counting), Christmas-albums and -songs are being released. Really looking forward to Michel Legrand's seasonal album, featuring guestspots from Olivia Ruiz, Carla Bruni and Coeur de Pirate (preview here ). One of the bestest Christmasalbums of recent date was 20082s Des pas dans la neige by Canadian songstress Maryse Letarte . Only original tracks, very atmospherical, solid songs. Her album is re-released with a French bonus track, a translation of Boom Boom (originally sung in English) (it's a Christmassong, trust me). Tips about French x-mas tracks are welcomed in the comments. This also [...]

In August 2009, it finally happened. If you were a Gallagher brother, the prospect of playing in a band with your sibling for even one more riff became utterly abhorrent. (To borrow from Churchill, Noel and Liam became the person up with whom the other could not put.) When news of Oasis' dissolution finally broke, fans and family therapists the globe over let out a collective "What the hell took so bloody long?" We all knew there was no way the band should have survived the "Don't Look Back in Anger" video shoot—you know, the one where Liam [...]
Voi non sapete quanto sia difficile scrivere di qualcuno che adorate in maniera asettica, credibile e poco tifosa. O forse lo sapete e fate finta di niente o non ci fate la chiosa di apertura di un discorso. Voi non sapete quanto sia difficile per me in tal senso parlare di Noel Gallagher. Sì perché alla fine parliamo del chitarrista e principale compositore di un gruppo che, pur non cambiando le sorti del mondo, pur essendo un gruppo di allegrissime e pomposissime teste di minchia, è uno di quelli "sempre presenti etc etc". Voglio dire, un [...]

sak noel - loca people [easily the stupidest song you'll hear all season and yet it has the weird appeal of a cheap beachfront nightly anthem that you can't help dancing to cause you're drunk and silly (um.. or so i imagine). oh and sak noel has a goofy smile that's weirdly cute... la gente esta muy loca! what the f**k!] Click here to buy Loca People http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

Noel Gallagher's debut solo album Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is set to be released on October 17 via his own Sour Mash Records and so far we've received three singles, a bunch of b-sides and, with the release of the video for "AKA...What A Life!", also videos for all three singles. The video was unveiled on Thursday and features British actor and comedian Russell Brand as some sort of evil magician and Noel himself as the hero. The clip is directed by Mike Bruce, who also directed the video for Noel's debut single "The Death [...]

Noel anda fazendo o bom moço e sendo todo romântico nessa sua fase, como no clipe lançado a pouco If I Had a Gun , talvez o relaxamento seja pela tamanha tensão nas brigas fraternais que teve com Noel em todos esses anos de Oasis . I'd Pick You Every Time traz pra perto um folk rock doce que agrada a qualquer um, vai bem como trilha de viagem ou quando você acorda pela manhã e precisa de um bom motivo pra abrir os olhos que não seja o [...]

We keep our eyes peeled for new tour dates announcements each week and compile them on Tuesdays for this handy column… After selling an estimated 70 million albums, and years of public feuding and bickering, the Brothers Gallagher finally pulled the plug on Oasis in 2009. Liam collected the pieces of their shattered band to form Beady Eye , who put out their debut album Different Gear, Still Speeding , earlier this year. Not to be outdone by his younger brother, Noel has announced the formation of a band he's [...]

When I heard Sak Noel's Loca People I knew that it was one of those records that Scott Mills and freshers who remember it from their post-A Level holidays could make happen in September and now with it being Scott Mills' record of the week I guess it will happen. I hope so because I love it and will be happy to still hear it in January (because DJs in British student unions/clubs only change their playlist once a year). When you're around people who aren't quite fluent in English it's very infectious because after a bit it feels more [...]
Filed under: News Getty Images (2) Nobody knows how to feud quite like the Gallagher brothers. Their storied animosity toward each other famously came to a head in 2009, when their explosive and contentious relationship finally broke down. Despite going their own ways, the separation has not quelled the ongoing dispute. Just last week, Liam announced his intention to sue his older brother Noel over what he alleges to be "lies" about [...]

You won't have to set your DVR for the Liam Gallagher v. Noel Gallagher legal battle on Court TV anytime soon. It looks like the boys won't be talking through their lawyers anytime soon...thanks to mommy dearest. According to The Sun , Liam has dropped a lawsuit against his guitar-playing brother. The suit was originally filed after Noel said that Liam didn't perform at the Oasis gig in 2009 at the V Festival due to a hangover. Turns out that Noel was simply [...]
Liam Gallagher asked for an apology and he got it. Now, he's dropping the much-publicized lawsuit against his brother and former Oasis bandmate, Noel Gallagher. Last week, Liam revealed that he had filed a suit against Noel for libel; basically, the former disputed the latter's claims that Oasis had pulled out of a 2009 gig at the V Festival Chelmsford because Liam had a "hangover," and that the band's actual breakup "followed a massive row in which he claimed I demanded to advertise my clothing range [...]
