Recently, Liam Gallagher, as a member of Oasis, had to criticize a band. I mean, when they're not making music, that's just what they do. Thus, Bloc Party is the latest victim in Oasis' war against all bands that aren't Oasis (or Kasabian --ed).
Bloc Party front man Kele Okereke had these words to say in response:
"I think Oasis are the most overrated and pernicious band of all time. They had a totally negative and dangerous impact upon the state of British music," Okereke told Uncut magazine. "They have made stupidity hip. They claim to be inspired by the Beatles but, and this so saddens me, they have failed to grasp that the Beatles were about constant change and evolution. Oasis are repetitive Luddites."
And this poses an interesting question.
Who is this Ludd guy?
You can read more on Spin but the Brit mags might have some better coverage, since, well, they're British.

Spoon tour dates:
04.13.07 - Grinnel, IA - Harris Center
04.21.07 - Baltimore, MD - Sonar
04.22.07 - Philadelphia, PA - Starlight Ballroom
04.24.07 - Asbury Park, NJ - Stone Pony
04.26.07 - New Haven, CT - Toad’s Place
04.27.07 - Northampton, MA - Pearl Street
04.28.07 - Boston, MA - Museum of Fine Arts
05.27.07 - George, WA - Sasquatch Festival
06.16.07 - Manchester, TN - Bonnaroo Music Festival
07.04.07 - Detroit, MI - Comerica CityFest
Time to score Bonnaroo tickets. By that, I mean I'm going to sit in the corner and watch Stranger Than Fiction several times in a row.
In some extremely depressing news, Radiohead, the greatest band/anything ever, is supposedly in talks with Starbucks to release an album on the coffee chain's recently unveiled label, "Hear Music." Hear music? More like pure evil!
I'm not funny at all.
Paul McCartney is releasing an album on Hear Music, due out this summer.
Boo.
