Gonna be bored this weekend? Nothing to do? OASIS have an idea. On Saturday night, Oasis will be taking the stage for the second of their Wembley gigs. To commemorate the concert, the band is planning a documentary... and are wanting your help! A message on the band's official website is asking fans to grab camcorders and film themselves at the moment that Oasis takes to the stage.

GOMEZ have announced details of their latest release. It's a b-sides & rarities compilation to be titled, "Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline." The album, which DOES include their cover of The Beatles' "Getting Better" (made famous thanks to all those Phillips TV ads,) is scheduled for a UK release on Sept. 25 - no word yet whether it'll see a Stateside release.

Twee fans over the world must be muttering a sweet disgruntled sigh as they slip on their schoolboy uniforms this morning, as NME is reporting that BELLE AND SEBASTIAN will NOT be touring in support of their new album. The band, known almost as much for their eccentricities as their music, was expected by some to launch a comprehensive tour after the chart success of recent single, "Legal Man." Instead, the band have announced they'll be taking the rest of the year off.

Noel may be back, but Patsy's flown the coop. That's official word today from OASIS management, who have confirmed that singer's Liam Gallagher's marriage to actress Patsy Kensit is over. The couple, who have a son named Lennon, confirmed the much-rumoured split via the band's publicist. In other Oasis news, brother Noel rejoined the live Oasis this weekend in Dublin, and audience reports showed a highly-fueled, non-bickering set. The elder Gallagher maintains that he will only play live with the band during their UK dates.

RADIOHEAD, via their amazing website, have unveiled full details on their new album. The album, to be entitled "Kid A," is due for an anticipated US release on October 3rd. The group have also revealed the full tracklisting for the album, and here it is: Everything in Its Right Place Kid A The National Anthem How To Disappear Completely Treefingers Optimistic In Limbo Idioteque Morning Bell Motion Picture Soundtrack

Tragedy has struck at this weekend's ROSKILDE FESTIVAL in Denmark. At least 8 concert-goers were trampled and crushed to death at the front of the main stage during Pearl Jam's stint on Friday night. The band, only a few songs into the set, stopped the show and urged the crowd to move back, but it was too late. At least 26 people have been injured, and early wire reports show either 8 or 9 fatalities.

Not news so much as a quick opinion from Shane this morning (and please realize that my views aren't necessarily those of this site - usually I keep my opinions to my columns, but this one is brief): Is it just me, or is NME decidedly AGAINST Napster? Over the past two weeks, NME has been seemingly trying to cause as much scuttlebutt as possible over the already controversial program.

A bit of a cheery update on the future of the HAPPY MONDAYS. As we reported yesterday, the band's set at last weekend's Glastonbury Festival was a bit tumultuous, and ended with frontman Shaun Ryder storming off-stage not once, but twice. Many news reports came out yesterday claiming that the recently reformed band was about to split due to internal strife. Well, Excellent Online can officially reveal that this is NOT the case.

A few tidbits from this weekend's Glastonbury Festival: Excellent Online's scouts in the crowd tell us that the HAPPY MONDAYS set this weekend descended into chaos. Early interviews with Bez showed the less-than-straight vibes-man staggering around and slurring words.

A sad story makes it way around the Net today. Tough times indeed for former MARION frontman JAIME HARDING, who, according to a press clipping from the Macclesfield Express that's been circulating about the Net, was arrested in his car earlier this month and charged with heroin possession. Also implicated was the singer's girlfriend, Dawn Brocklehurst. The singer has never denied drug problems in the past, and it's been long rumoured that Harding's habit was the real reason behind the band's breakup last year.
