Oasis Goes Underground this Friday

oasis0908.jpeg"The most important band in the planet" could be slumming it in the subways this week. The Spinner reports that Oasis, in order to totally unnecessarily promote their Terminal 5 show on Friday, will have musicians from MTA's Music Under New York program "covering nothing but new Oasis songs in various locations." Not only could you hear nothing but Oasis all day underground this Friday, but the band's label is saying "that one of the Gallagher brothers may even be making a surprise appearance with one of the acts." But remember, they're only playing new tunes, so don't go requesting "Wonderwall."

Personal Note: avoid subways on Friday.

I love when musicians that were relevant over a decade ago, refuse to play the songs that everyone wants to hear. It's one thing to push a new album, but another to shove it down the throats of the very people that might have purchased it.

On Friday, apparently dozens of city buskers are opening the opportunity to suffer the same fate as Noel:

Is that Gallaghers? They look so different....

#4: I don't think anyone even knew they were touring before that happened, which makes me think it was a publicity stunt just like this Music Under New York nonsense.

great, just another thing to clog up the subway

"the most important band in the planet" -to whom? And which planet? Mercury? They were promoted as 'the next Beatles', but really they're only a drugged up pair of dysfunctional cockroaches. And the subways have plenty of those already.
