England “rock” band, Oasis, is in the works of dropping a new FULLY PRICED album, Dig Out Your Soul. Emphasis on the FULLY PRICED part. The band is making it their sole responsibility that no songs leak out on the net for free and that fans are paying for their tracks. Gallagher is attempting to make his money back for all his hard work and dedication to his craft.  He comments on the “honest-box” policy that Radiohead used to sell albums as, “a great way of getting a load of free marketing.”  He further states,

 ”That’s not our bag. I didn’t spend a year in the most expensive studio in England, with the most expensive producer in America and the most expensive graphic designer in London, to then give it away. F*** that.”

Personally, I wouldn’t even waste my energy and computer’s memory even attempting to download their new album. The only way I would listen to it is if I was being paid to.  Sounds like they are all in it for the money. Isn’t that what art is all about? Making as much cash from as many suckers as you can. Oasis hasn’t come out with some cool shit since I was in the 4th grade, and at that age, I am sure I was just too naive to know better.

Oasis is putting out a new album titled Dig Out Your Soul and will be released on October 7th. It is their first album since last year’s Lord Don’t Swallow Me Down. It is being mixed and recorded at Abbey Road in Los Angeles. The band wants the new songs not to follow a traditional pattern and want a more hypnotic feel that people can personally connect with.

Dig Out Your Soul is going to be the first album to be released on Big Brother label, the band’s own.
