WE REALLY HOPE OUR DIARY IS FULL

In a desperate bid to (a) try and make America care and (b) try and make the launch of a new Oasis album feel a little bit more like an event, the way it used to, the band's label have lined up a whole heap of US listening parties. We love the way this is being reported as something Oasis have done, as if Noel had been on the phone to the Atlanta Cobb Place mall trying to book a CD player and a crate of Vimto.

Oasis listening party. It's on a par with a celebration of hair lice, isn't it?
