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.

Lyor Cohen gets paid. Lyor, who is responsible for developing artists ranging from the Beastie Boys to Ryan Adams just re-signed his deal with Warner Music Group for a 5 year deal and doubled his base salary to $3 million per year. Nice work. Plus, he gets bonuses if people actually buy music too that range from $1.5 million all the way up to $5 million. Cohen also will receive 1,500,000 stock options. I’m sure his expense account will also be somewhat huge - nice play, especially considering the sorry current state of the music industry as well as WMG stock being at it’s all time low.

If you shout “Summer of ‘69!!!” at the show you’re going to, I will find you.
