With the release of his first full-length solo record, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher breaks a two-year silence and, in doing so, finally joins his brother Liam in the post-Oasis sweepstakes.

Because you never get a second chance to make a first impression!

While the esteemed Athens, GA band’s new album, Collapse Into Now, doesn’t hit streets until March 8, NPR is currently streaming the album in its entirety.

Noel who? Liam Gallagher’s Beady Eyes deliver one of the most exciting debut albums of the last decade with ‘Different Gear, Still Speeding’

The new Strokes album ‘Angles’ is due out in 20 days, however, iTunes has put up 30 second previews of all their new tunes. I don’t really get the whole ‘preview’ deal, to me it’s a total ‘ear tease’. Still, at the risk inflicting myself with a bad case of ‘blue ears’, I’m going to play the role of an old school A&R man and attempt to divine whether or not I smell ‘gold’!

My comfort zone is actually quite small. In reality, I hate most music. I appreciate almost all music, for all its merits and all that, but the music I actually willingly listen to in my free time is safe. It’s music with guitars, almost exclusively of an indie rock/alternative rock variety. It’s what I enjoy, so I don’t deny that despite the guilt I feel for never listening to hip hop or dance music or electronica. There’s music critic world and there’s the world I live in, which is soundtracked by distortion and sweet guitar riffs and fuzzy vocals. And that’s why I love Yuck’s eponymous debut.

Well I guess we all know who the winner of the “Who’s gonna fill the hole Amy Winehouse left?” sweepstakes is.
