Despite fingers again being pointed following the release of their latest long player, it appears Noel and Liam have had enough of the many accusations of 'channelling' The Beatles levelled at them and took inspiration from other quarters.
I wouldn't have thought Sir Cliff of Richard was their bag, but the ardent fans of His Cliffness are accusing the Brothers Gallagher of ripping off the 1976 'classic' Devil Woman on new album track, The Turning.
I wonder if Sir Cliff is going to return the favour, he'd be guaranteed another Number One then...

This week's Waster coincides with John Peel Day, the annual celebration of the late DJ's musical legacy, so fittingly features live sets from two hotly tipped local bands, The Daisy Riots and Fresh Legs. Add to this a selection of fine alternative tunes spun by the Southsea Mafia DJs and you've the makings of a fine Thursday night's entertainment. Admission is £2.20 before 2300, rising to £3.20 after; further more information, including how to add your name to the guest list, can be found on Facebook.
Southampton venue The Hobbit will be hosting a day of live music this Saturday, 11th October, in aid of the charity PKD, the only UK dedicated to aiding sufferers of polycystic renal disease. The event will feature live performances from Black Bart, The Lowis Lanes, The Boho Hobos, Kelley's Heroes, Kumiss, Shizamms Picbox and J Fashole-Luke & Nicola Ghiaci, with music from 1300 through to 0100. Admission is £2.
Chaos pitches up at The Wedgewood Rooms again this Saturday, 11th October, for more of the best alternative sounds in town. DJs Will Chump and Lemon will be manning the wheels of steel in the Main Room, with some slightly mellower beats (and Sega) on offer in the Chaos Lounge (aka the Edge of The Wedge). Admission is £5 on the door, with entry from 2200; the sounds go through to 0300, with last admission at 0100.
Winchester Live is a new, week long, festival to promote the city's music scene, running from Monday 13th through to Sunday 19th October. A series of gigs have been organised by promoters Placid Piranha and The Girls In Green Shoes, at a variety of venues across the city. Bands so far confirmed to be appearing include Die!Die!Die!, Art Brut and Youthmovies (who kick off the festival at the city University's Vault venue on Monday 13th October). Full information on who's playing and where is available on the festival MySpace.
The Hong Kong Gardeners Club has upped-sticks and moved from the basement bar of The Jolly Sailor to the swanky sounding Seahorse Showbar (what was The Frog On The Front). The first night at the new venue will be this Friday, 10th October, and will feature DJ sets from Matt Seeney, Paige Gregson, Phil Harvey and Abbie Eales plus live music from You Love Her Coz She's Dead. The fun runs from 2000 through till 0230. Tickets are £4.50 but, owing to licensing restrictions tickets, can't be purchased on the door. Instead they're available on-line from WeGotTickets.The Edge of The Wedge hosts the PompeyMusic website's awards ceremony this Sunday, 12th October. The event starts at 1500 and will feature DJ sets from Udy (Kiss My Bass, Waster) and Ruby Soho (Chaos) amongst others. Admission is FREE and there's still time to vote in the awards, you'll just need to register on the website.
Roger Courtney's Open Mike Club this week features a special performance by local singer-songwriter Aitch, who'll be on-stage at The Barn at The Milton Arms from 2000 till 2130 tomorrow, Thursday 9th October; the Open Mike session follows afterward till midnight. Doors open from 1900, admission is FREE.
And that's me done for another week; today I was mostly listening to Elbow (who were damn good at The Guildhall last night), The Mountain Goats and Doves (who have a new album in the pipeline, which is nice). Be sure to join me next week when I'll be double-checking my Lotto numbers again.
