Manchester-Monkey-Torrent-Tastic

When i came home and dropped into my Blogline subscriptions i was gifted with the news i have been waiting a few weeks for: Slyck News - Partial Oasis Album Spreads Through BitTorrent. It did'nt take me long to find it and download it and i can confirm that although the audio quality of the 5 tracks is pretty poor - it is the real thing! The last few Oasis albums have been far too over produced and many of the songs have been pretty forgetable so i hope that the new album will make right the mistakes they made. First impressions? Not bad. The first track "Mucky Fingers" sounds like a Lou Reed classic he wrote about waiting his man. Track 2, "Meaning of soul" sounds like Jumping Jack Flash by the Stones but track 4 (skipping Track 3 - "Lyla" which i love already) "keeping the dream alive" is a slower floating melodic tune peppered with the rusty Liam vocals we know (and love). Sounds a little but like the Beatles when they went "all Indian" on us. A sitar popping up in the final audio mix would not surprise me. The final track in the torrent is "Let there be love". This promises to be my fave as it is an acoustic guitar track with minimal piano overlayed. You expect this to have the usual squeezed vocals by Noel but Liam sings the majority of this track aswell as Noel and manages to pull it off very well. Its got nice minor chord changes in there and sounds alot like some more recent Beatles tracks and their other slow Oasis ballads like "Don't look back in anger" and "Cast no shadow". When i saw Oasis on the TV doing their live performance at Glastonbury i feared that the end was nigh. Liam sounded awful. I almost mistook it for Vic Reeves doing his Pub Singer impression on Shooting Stars! Thank god he managed to sober up enough in time to record the album. It totally put me off buying tickets for their gig at the Milton Keynes Bowl later this year. Maybe i was too hasty. Until Noel produces his solo album and collaborates on tracks with the likes of Paul Weller I will have to make do with these new songs. The album is officially released on May 16th and will be called "Don't Believe the Truth".

I agree with the Bobster, "they're a bunch of big mouthed, talentless cunts". They also take the piss out of monkey's. By looking like them. Mono brow fecking Neanderthals.

ahh but where Oasis are big mouthed, talentless cunts, Britney is big mouthed talentless eye candy, which ranks slightly higher on my scale.

Hey! Only one of them is a big mouth talentless cunt. But he still managed to pull Patsy!

And i agree, Britney can make it as eye candy. Especially in these shots from her toxic video.

Hubba hubba.

The Manc Monkey Boy only pulled Patsy 'cause of all the nose candy he was throwing her way. To which she admits. It is of course 100% allowable to fantasise about Britney in whatever scenario a deranged mind can come up with. As long as you can pretend to not know all the words to all her songs.
