Mark Ronson treats Noel like it's worth engaging

Mark Ronson - who does seem to be, whatever else, a genuinely warm bloke - finds time in his busy schedule to dignify Noel Gallagher with a response:

"Noel Gallagher said I should 'learn three chords on the guitar and go write a tune'. So I just wanted him to know that I'm actually taking guitar lessons from Jay-Z right now and he's already taught me both chords to 'Wonderwall' (tune!).

"In fact, it's so much fun having Jay teach me all of Noel's songs on the guitar (hooray!) that I'm thinking of doing an Oasis/Jay-Z remix album a la 'The Grey Album'. Potential titles are 'Champagne Superhova' or 'Definitely Jay Z'. I'll keep you posted."

"P.P.S. Noel, I did write a song called 'Back To Black', which actually has seven chords in it."

The PPS is a little too defensive, don't you think?
