Liam Goes Missing, But Then He's Found.
File this under Bollocks Rumour of the Week, but everyone's talking this morning that LIAM GALLAGHER has gone missing since last Friday. The story appeared this morning in the British tabloids, and we've yet to hear any form of official comment (though several fans have posted to the NME message board that Liam was, in fact, at a Fun Lovin' Criminals after-hours on Friday.) Of course, it's likely false... we'll keep you up-to-date.

Creation to Close Doors
An era is INDEED about to pass, as news reaches us today that CREATION RECORDS may soon cease to exist, and if it DOES continue on, it will do so without its founder, ALAN McGEE. McGee announced today that he is to step down as founder and president effective June 2000, to explore other business ventures. Under McGee's helm, Creation went from a bedroom-based operation to become one of the premier independent labels in the world.

When Ass is A**
Groove Armada are being forced to re-record their single, I See You Baby for America because they use the word "ass". The lyrics are along these lines:
I see you baby /
shakin' that ass /
shakin' that ass /
now don't touch me
They are replacing the offensive word with "thing" but I don't expect it to have the same effect.
This track is a favorite for Fatboy Slim as it was used regularly in his live DJ set.

Depending on which site you read, then you've probably heard that Pavement has split. They announced their final show in London at Brixton Academy. Matador records hasn't released an official statment but it seems likely that they will call it quits.

Travis's 'The Man Who' US Release
Travis' latest album, The Man Who, was released this past May in the UK. American fans will be slightly pleased to know that it will hit American shelves on April 11th, 2000 by Epic records, just shy of a full year. And to make sure that the hardcore fans who have already picked up the import buy the domestic version, Epic records have decided to add three bonus live tracks to the US version: "Driftwood", "Slide Show", and "More Then Us".

Andy Bell Joins Oasis. Yes, ex-Ride Andy Bell
This is not a joke. We repeat, this is not a joke. Creation Records is confirming today that the new bass player in OASIS is ANDY BELL, former lead guitarist of RIDE and HURRICANE #1. I've now been sitting here for five minutes trying to think of something to say about this. I can't.
