Im going to a wedding in two weeks, would like something glamerous and preferably unusual. Warehouse is the only shop i like so far. I know theres Debenhams, Monsoon, oasis, Coast.Any more suggestions, I live near Glasgow but dont know the shops too well. Any suggestions?

Radiohead-creep
Filter-hey man nice shot
The Mavericks-The air that I breath remake
GooGoo Dolls-iris
Oasis-wonderwall
Soundgarden-black hole son
Live- lightning crashes
Pearl Jam-Yellow ledbetter

I saw Matt Costa live, opening for Oasis tonight, and the song he opened up with was amazing. The lyrics went something along the lines of – diamonds at the bottom of the ocean, cocaine and whiskey. I know it’s very vague but I LOVED this song so much, and I can’t find it anywhere on the net!

Noel Gallagher, guitarist, singer, songwriter, ’90s Britpop icon, writer of such modern classics as “Champagne Supernova,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” “Live Forever,” “The Shock of the Lightning,” and “Wonderwall,” turns 42 today!

Noel is one of my musical heroes. I consider him one of the finest musicians of our generation. So many of the songs he’s written are important to me, have helped me through the bad times, etc., etc.

So, Oasis admirers, let’s celebrate a bit, shall we? With a couple questions, of course.

Q1: Favorite song by The Beatles? The Jam? The Stone Roses? The Who? A few of the bands Noel has cited as inspirations.
Q2: Favorite Oasis song?
Q3: If your favorite Oasis song is sung primarily by Liam, what’s your favorite Oasis song sung by Noel?
Q4: Post a live Oasis performance (YouTube) you dig…

Thanks! =)
A1: “A Day in the Life” – The Beatles
“The Butterfly Collector” – The Jam
“Sally Cinnamon” – The Stone Roses
“1921″ – The Who

A2: “Don’t Look Back in Anger”

A3: Noel sings “Don’t Look Back…”

shirley ellis – the name game

My friend sent this to me do you think it is worth a star?

SAND & STONE

TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING
THROUGH THE DESERT.
DURING SOME POINT OF THE
JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN
ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND
SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE
IN THE FACE.

THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED
WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT
SAYING ANYTHING,
WROTE IN THE SAND:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

THEY KEPT ON WALKING,
UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS,
WHERE THEY DECIDED
TO TAKE A BATH.

THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN
SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE
MIRE AND STARTED DROWNING,
BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM.

AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM
THE NEAR DROWNING,
HE WROTE ON A STONE:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SAVED MY LIFE.

THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED
AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND
ASKED HIM, “AFTER I HURT YOU,
YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW,
YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?”

THE OTHER FRIEND REPLIED
“WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US
WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN
IN SAND WHERE WINDS OF
FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY.
BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES
SOMETHING GOOD FOR US,
WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE
WHERE NO WIND
CAN EVER ERASE IT.”

LEARN TO WRITE
YOUR HURTS IN
THE SAND AND TO
CARVE YOUR
BENEFITS IN STONE.

THEY SAY IT TAKES A
MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL
PERSON, AN HOUR TO
APPRECIATE THEM, A DAY
TO LOVE THEM, BUT THEN
AN ENTIRE LIFE
TO FORGET THEM.

SEND THIS PHRASE TO
THE PEOPLE YOU’LL NEVER
FORGET. I JUST DID.

IF YOU DON’T
SEND IT TO ANYONE,
IT MEANS YOU’RE IN A
HURRY AND THAT YOU’VE
FORGOTTEN YOUR FRIENDS.
TAKE THE TIME TO LIVE!

DO NOT VALUE THE THINGS
YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, BUT VALUE
WHO YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE !

Poppy Bird by Bromheads Jacket
Champagne Supernova and Live Forever by Oasis
And Emily Kane by Art Brut

Plus what would you call that type of music? British alternative? I don’t know

Im not entirly sure of the lyrics… i know one part of the chorus is ends with “live forever”. if i had to guess they would be “no one ever said you had to live forever” its its kind of a fast pace chorus… no its not live forever by oasis. does anyone have any idea? its driving me crazy.
