Noel Gallagher: Hip Hop Is A "Fake Form Of Music"
His daily rant...

Noel GallagherNoel Gallagher is officially a grumpy old man; he should go on that BBC2 TV programme so he can condense all his rants in to one half hour show.

His latest target is R n’ B and Hip Hop stars and the people who buy their music. Gallagher told Australian website Timeoff.com: "I fucking hate it, all the people that make that kind of music and all the people that buy it. When you see the videos of some guy throwing 100 dollar bills over a naked woman lying on a bed with a dog leash around her fucking neck... what the fuck is all that about? That to me doesn't seem to be right somehow."

He continued: "Back in the '70s and '80s, if that was done by a rock 'n' roll band, it'd be called sexist and there'd be shock, horror and outrage. For some reason, hip-hop artists tend to get away with that. It's all about the bling and the money.”

“The critical thing about these fuckers is they go on about 'increase the peace' and getting kids to stay in school, but they're all raving crack heads. It's a fake form of music to me, and they're all a bunch of idiots anyway."

Noel Gallagher, the voice of reason for the ageing Britpop generation.

cause Oaisi never done nothing to bring attention to themselves.

"raving crack heads".... coming from an alcoholic, it means a lot.

why you talk about me like that!

I like your signature line.

i copied someone, i like it too

wouldn't go that far!

I would.

did you see the thing I posted about your Strokes?>

Where???

The Strokes Plan "Secret" Tour

Rob Kleckner reports:
Hot on the heels of Coldplay's recent tour announcement douchebaggery come some new touring shenanigans from the Strokes. Get this: the failed rock saviors have announced some secret shows. That's right, the Strokes have announced that they will be playing secret shows. Some secret, huh?

Well, the venues and times are still clandestine, but not the cities or approximate dates for this buzz-gathering jaunt promoting the Strokes’ upcoming third album, First Impressions of Earth, due on January 3. According to Billboard.com, the secret tour began in Tokyo on Monday, and will continue to small clubs in Sydney, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Milan, and Madrid, wrapping up in mid-December.

Guitarist Albert Hammond told the site, "We'll do eight new songs and leave, just like how it was with the first record, with no one knowing any of our music. We thought it would build some excitement."

The week the album is released, the band will play more secret club gigs in U.S. cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, sayeth wise, all-seeing oracle Billboard.com. The jaunt will then morph into a regular ol' un-secret tour across the rest of North America from February through April.

First Impressions has a cut called "Ask Me Anything" that features just Master Stroke Julian Casablancas and a Mellotron. While they aren’t planning on including the ditty in the secret show sets, Hammond told Billboard, "When we start the main touring, we're definitely going to throw that song in. It will be a nice break from all the loud music."

The Strokes recently completed the video for First Impressions of Earth’s first single, "Juicebox". Far more entertaining than the song itself, the clip features David Cross as a clueless radio disc jockey, hot guy-on-guy and girl-on-girl action, and vomiting.

Ahhhhh!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!

Was that from Pitchfork by the way??? I sensed the Stroke hate.

Agree! Great signature....may have to steal it...

pitchfork alright

I've concluded that Pitchfork is just a group of monkees that have been taught to use a computer.

that's what i thought this forum was!

Clever Tom.... you just made yourself a forum of enemies. You called everyone here an idiot.... tsk tsk tsk.

Actually he called us Monkees. I got dibs on Mike Nesbitt. That beanie rocks.

I would take any of them except for Dolenz....the gap and curly hair kills it for me, but one has to love the fact he's a drummer.....

His daily rant...

at first i thought you were referring to the Gallagher that smashes stuff. i was like "whats his problem, all he does is smash stuff?", then i realize it was some britpopper and it made more sense.

i still have to disagree... theres good hip hop/r&b/rap, i just hardly ever hear any
