Let's talk about Oasis. Nobody else does anymore, so I should give them a plug. Now, they were a decent band for their time - the first couple of albums were quite good, then total lunacy prevailed and they started making pretentious wankfests that nobody has listened to since Britpop was declared legally dead.

However, everyone knows I love a good rant and this classic after Coldplay did some anti-war speech at a benefit concert puts Liam Gallagher back into my 'respect' folder. Cop a load of this genius, mentioned in today's Herald-Sun "Hit" music section.

"When Colplay did this gig they banged on about the war. That's wrong. Chris Martin shouldn't be using this cause to bang on about his own views on the war. If him and his gawky bird want to go banging on about the war they can do it at their own gigs.

That lot are just a bunch of knobhead students - Chris Martin looks like a Geography teacher. What's all that with writing messages about Free Trade on his hand when he's playing? If he wants to write things down I'll give him a pen and a pad of paper. Bunch of students."

Entertaining, but only when they're not singing.
