HelloTHE NME AWARDS HAS always been the lairiestnight of the musical yearThere was the time in 2006when The Cribs singer RyanJarman was hospitalised

after throwing himself onto a tablecovered in glasses and ended upneeding stitches in his back

Then there was 1998 when The Verve won four awards FrontmanRichard Ashcroft refused to leavehis table to collect them so NME rsquosthen editor Steve Sutherland had

to hand-deliver the goodsLiam Gallagher pulled the same

trick in 2001 forcing host PeterKay to bring the Hero Of The Yearaward to him ldquoMy mumrsquos lookingfor that coatrdquo Kay said of Liamrsquoswhite fluffy number In 2012Liamrsquos bro Noel accepted hisGodlike Genius award by sayingldquoYoursquore fing welcomerdquo to anyonewhorsquod ever been influenced by him

Then there was the time in 1998when Beck won Best Solo Artistand sent in an acceptance videoof him in a Jacuzzi surrounded

by his band wearing horse masksThis year was just as rockrsquonrsquoroll

There were amazing performancesdrunken antics unbroadcastablebehaviour and a set from Coldplaybefitting their Godlike Geniusstatus Read all about it on page 15

For obvious reasons this yearrsquosawards were dedicated to Brixtonboy David Bowie But they werealso dedicated to Viola Beach atalented young band right at thebeginning of their careers doingwhat they loved whose dreamended way too soon

OF F T HE T V A ND IN Y OUR F A CE

THIS WEEK

SORRY I REALLY

tried not to write

about Beyonceacute

this week By the

time you read this

Irsquom sure therersquoll be

countless lsquoBeyonceacute Super Bowlrsquo

thinkpieces up on the femsitesIn summation of those Yes

Beyonceacute performed lsquoFormationrsquo

a day after releasing it and is an

absolute weapon who emboldens

women black people and most

dangerously black women This

angers some men white people

and most dangerously white

men She nearly fell over dancing

and thatrsquos the clip that the media

focused on even though she

ultimately DID NOT FALL OVER

and she never will YAS QUEEN

SLAY etc Also my dad thinks the

song is called lsquoInformationrsquo andplease nobody correct him

Speaking of powerful

black phenomena I do not

understand last Thursdayrsquos big

announcement about the detection

of gravitational waves Irsquove read

many articles but therersquos just no

part of it that makes even a little bit

of sense to me You know how

some people say that all the

secrets of the universe are right in

front of us but we just donrsquot have

the capacity to see them Itrsquos like

that like explaining World War One

to a goat Like smelling out of your

elbow Irsquom just never going to get it

A team of scientists heard and

recorded the sound of two black

holes colliding a billion light yearsaway I listened to the lsquochirprsquo and

Irsquom pretty convinced that whoever

was guarding the microphone

accidentally took it to the toilet and

was too embarrassed to admit the

truth Where do I begin with this

WHAT IS A LIGHT YEAR It rsquos got

nothing to do with time Itrsquos 9 trillion

kilometres Show me the genius

that decided to give that unit of

length an allotment of age It takes

light in a vacuum (whatrsquos it doing in

THERE) a year to get that far Big

deal You donrsquot see me calling my

boyfriendrsquos dick lsquohalf a secondlongrsquo Oh I was born 53644444e-10

light years from London F off

Black holes (space vaginas) are

bottomless gravitational pits from

which not even light can escape

What kind of Kanye-level

arrogance causes someone to say

st like that without ever having

been inside one Somehow a

black hole is HEAVY with a mass

29 to 36 times that of our sun

HOW ARE YOU WEIGHING THE

SUN Stars give off energy and

when they collapse I guess they

suck in energy and grow byabsorbing everything in their path

Itrsquos what makes Celebrity Big

Brother so entertaining Those

people are black holes

According to Einstein when

two of them knocked into each

other it created ripples in space-

time and now that wersquove listened

to this noise it means he was right

Go ahead and read about it but

Irsquom warning you itrsquoll make your

eyes bleed Wake me up next

year when the chirp is playing

the Super Bowl

Black holesand revelations

HEALTH SECRETARY

Jeremy Huntrsquos imposition of a new

contract for junior doctors is bad

for both patients and the NHS and

will undoubtedly drive talented

academics out of England to find

better paid work elsewhere

However we canrsquot point the finger

without also doing everything in our

power to lessen the workload of

hospitals and GPs Irsquove set foot in a

doctorrsquos office maybe 20 times IN

MY LIFE I have given birth and I

have a chronic autoimmune

disease but unless it is absolutely

necessary I use common sense to

rest and take vitamins

rather than racing into

an overcrowded

surgery STOP going

to the doctor Yoursquore

not even sick

ldquoIrsquom warning you sciencewill make youreyes bleedrdquo

HRIS MARTIN IS

almost giddy at the

thought of picking up

one of the most coveted

prizes in music ldquoThe

first time we saw a

Godlike Genius was when we won Best

New Band [at the NME Awards in 2001]

I think U2 were getting their Godlike

award and I remember thinking lsquoHow

the f do you get to thatrsquordquo

The NME Godlike Genius award is

given out yearly to the absolute best

and biggest artists in the world Back

in 2001 Chris and Coldplay were

seated at the back of the room during

the ceremony itself keenly watching in

awe as right next to them their heroes

milled about and sized each other up

At this point theyrsquod barely uttered

a word to Noel Gallagher or Kylie

Minogue let alone collaborated withthem Skip forward 15 years however

and itrsquos clear whorsquos the biggest name

in the room In 2016 Coldplay are

undeniably the headline act

No surprise then that when we

meet a few weeks before the show

Chris Martin is feeling reflective Itrsquos

early evening on the last Friday before

Christmas ndash the messiest night of the

year ndash and central London is alive with

the hum of a million office parties

Walking through the middle of it

all is one of the most recognisable

people on the planet flitting between

Regentrsquos Park Marble Arch and WinterWonderland in Hyde Park Therersquos no

entourage no security nobody to step

in and help out should Chris Martin

suddenly get mobbed while waiting for

the lights to change on Oxford Street

Suddenly a car pulls up and

practically mounts the pavement before

screeching to a halt just inches away

from him Itrsquos full of kids aged about 20

and the driver winds down the window

ldquoExcuse me matehelliprdquo

Here it comes I think

ldquohellipcan you park on the yellow lines

round hererdquo

ldquoIrsquove got thisrdquo Martin nods a massivesmile spreading across his face

ldquoIt depends if itrsquos a single or a double

and what time of day it isrdquo the Coldplay

frontman bellows ldquoItrsquos a single white

line now What time is it Half seven

Well itrsquos been a long time since Irsquove

been in traffic buthellip Irsquod go for itrdquo

At this point it becomes clear

that nobody in the car has realised that

the man giving them parking advice

is one of the most famous people in

music ndash focal point of perhaps the

worldrsquos biggest band On the contrary

they seem to be freaked out by Martinrsquosoverly helpful response and are now

looking at him as if hersquos a bit weird

ldquoUhhellip OK thanksrdquo the driver

says suspiciously already winding

up her window

This is the double life that Martin is

remarkably still able to lead

On the one hand he and his

bandmates Guy Berryman (bass) Will

Champion (drums) and Jonny Buckland

(guitar) can play to hundreds of millions

of people at the Super Bowl hobnob

with actual royalty and look forward to

headlining Wembley Stadium not once

but four times this summer And on the other Martin can literally

be that guy you accidentally bump

into outside Precirct because yoursquore both

too busy looking at your phone to

concentrate on where yoursquore going

Wersquod met four miles away two hours

earlier straight from a session at his

local gym in Primrose Hill where he

seems to be on first name terms with

all the staff This is the only time Chris

can spare ahead of the Super Bowl and

awards ceremony ldquomadnessrdquo that will

engulf the first quarter of 2016

Hersquos in a cheerful mood whether

itrsquos talking about friends such as BruceSpringsteen (ldquoA fing dude Hersquos a

wise and generous legend to merdquo) Noel

Gallagher (ldquoThe Oscar Wilde of our

timerdquo) Kylie Minogue Michael Stipe

Jay-Z and Beyonceacute ndash or more seriously

about what it means to be world

famous in 2016 the future of Coldplay

his family life and his hopes and fears

for the world in general

Hilariously at one point during the

walk ndash by a busy Green Park tube

station no less ndash he even does a

fantastically loud lippy impression

of Mick Jagger blurting out ldquoBut

Marianne your legs are beautifulrdquo at

full volume Nobody even notices

Chris may be an unlikely A-list

rockrsquonrsquoroll star but he has to be one

of the most ambitious too Hersquos made

no secret of the bandrsquos desire to be

massive ever since the release of their

debut lsquoParachutesrsquo 16 years ago

Their latest album 2015rsquos lsquoA Head

Full Of Dreamsrsquo with its Beyonceacute and

Noel Gallagher cameos trap influences

(lsquoX Marks The Spotrsquo) and Cure-meets-

Strokes throwbacks (lsquoBirdsrsquo) ndash is their

best yet he reckons

ldquoItrsquos what wersquove always dreamed

of making Itrsquos the first time wersquove felt

lsquoYeah this is who we are as a band thisis us wersquore comfortablersquordquo

That feeling ndash being comfortable ndash

includes accepting a self-deprecating

view of how Coldplay are viewed in the

wider world Martin appears almost

at pains to show he doesnrsquot think their

music is remotely important in the

grand scheme of things

ldquoI donrsquot know if wersquove delivered

one masterpiece album everrdquo he

says matter-of-factly He basically

recognises hersquos not cool but at the

same time he couldnrsquot care less

ldquoOne thing thatrsquos quite liberating

about being in a band is when yourealise a lot of the world really doesnrsquot

give a f about music and they

definitely donrsquot give a f about whatrsquos

cool and whatrsquos not coolrdquo he says

ldquoThey just hear a song they like and

then carry on with their dayrdquo

Try telling 100000 people in

a field at Glastonbury that Coldplay

donrsquot mean much I reply Coldplay will

headline the festival for the fourth time

since 2002 this June and Martin calls

it ldquothe closest thing to a homecoming

gigrdquo theyrsquove got

ldquoThere are certain moments alongthe way ndash the most recent one being the

Super Bowl ndash that are lsquowowrsquo momentsrdquo

he says ldquoOther ones were that first

little NME mention we got [back in

January 1999 when we called them

ldquoalready masters of both the epic

chorus and the insular weep-outrdquo] the

first time headlining Glastonbury the

Paralympicsrdquo And headlining Worthy

Farm more times than any other act

since it started back in 1970

ldquoManrdquo he splutters ldquoIrsquod

play there every day if we

children Moses 9 and Apple 11

ldquoBecauserdquo Chris says ldquoif you have kids

and they start reading about their parents

not liking each other thatrsquos not goodrdquo

It worked too ndash aside from the much-

mocked phrase ldquoconscious uncouplingrdquo

ldquoIt happenedrdquo Martin shrugs when

asked about the clunky term He sounds

upbeat and easyldquoI donrsquot mind speaking about itrdquo he

says ldquoWe just spent a long time trying to

maintain a friendship so there wouldnrsquot

have to be any kind of battlerdquo

Martin now splits his time

between the UK where Berryman

Buckland and Champion live and LA

where his kids live with Paltrow ldquoWe share

custody of the bandrdquo he jokes ldquoWe do

two weeks here then we do our own thing

for two weeks Which is a wonderful way

to work ndash itrsquos how Brian [Eno

producer and long-time Yoda

were allowed tordquo

Martin makes for boisterous

convivial and supremely easy company

Wanna know whatrsquos on his running

playlist OK Drake into Rammstein

into Joni Mitchell into Selena Gomez

lsquoHells Bellsrsquo by ACDC meanwhile ldquowill

make me run twice as fastrdquo Wanna

know how he celebrates his kidsrsquo

birthdays By introducing them to the

joys of Rage Against The Machine

ldquoThe other day we had this silent

disco where you have this transmitter

and about 10 sets of headphones and

we were having the best time I could

see that my son was full of energy so

we did lsquoKilling In The Namersquo It was

amazing to watchrdquo

Or how about his absolute BESTmemory from the past 16 years of being

a fully signed-up rock icon

That he says without even flinching

is easy ldquoPlaying lsquoJohnny B Goodersquo with

Michael J Fox He has a Parkinsonrsquos

benefit every year and Back To The

Future is my favourite film He said

lsquoWould you do some music at the

eventrsquo So I said lsquoYes of course Irsquod

love to but is there any way you could

come on stage and we could re-create my

favourite scene in film historyrsquo And he

said yes He said lsquoIrsquoll time my medication

so Irsquom most able to play [guitar] at that

timersquo So we started playing lsquoEar th Angelrsquo

the ballad theyrsquore playing in the film when

he first joins the band and his pictures are

disappearing and then he came on and

people went crazy and we played lsquoJohnny

B Goodersquo My life just fel t completehelliprdquo

But therersquos something unconventional

about Martin too Hersquos scatty and

eccentric as if his head is a chaos of

ideas all bubbling around at once and

fighting to get out He can flit from beingfrantic and intense to jovial and back

again countless times

Hersquos his own PR man too someone

whorsquos exceptionally talented ndash shrewd

even ndash at saying just enough in

an interview situation to make the

conversation fly without ever really

revealing his deepest darkest secrets

Which when you think about it is

probably how hersquos managed to avoid any

huge lsquomy tabloid hellrsquo scenarios since

breaking big with Coldplay

When talk inevitably turns to his

separation from Gwyneth Paltrow which

was made public in 2014 itrsquos Martinhimself who raises the subject

ldquoOf course village gossip we all like to

know what everyonersquos up tordquo he says ldquoMe

too But once you start

being in it you realise well

this isnrsquot really based on

any truth Especially if you

go through a big break-up

therersquos no point reading

about it Therersquos just no

good gonna come from itrdquo

Compared to the

recent stories about Liam

Gallagher and Nicole

Appletonrsquos messy divorceor Madonna and Guy

Ritchiersquos well-publicised

battle over son Rocco

Martin and Paltrowrsquos split

seems expertly stage-

managed After waiting

a full year to announce

the news via a statement

on Paltrowrsquos own Goop

website they made sure

they were on holiday the

day the story went live

in an effort to minimise

the impact on their two

Head boy Chris Martin on

Coldplay being

named Godlike

Genius at this

yearrsquos NME Awards

with Austin Texas

ldquoItrsquos surreal to me that

wersquore even havingthis conversation

because it makes

me think lsquoGod look

at that journeyrsquo And

I donrsquot really reflect

on it often because

wersquore always thinking

lsquoWhere are wersquo or

lsquoWhat are we doingrsquo

But talking to you Irsquom

like lsquoHoly shhellip we

figure for Coldplay] wanted us to work

ldquoThe two weeks off arenrsquot really two

weeks off ndash it just gives me time to get

demos together or organise words and

everyone else does their stuffrdquo

The other members of Coldplay

while not nearly as recognisable as their

frontman are as integral to the cause

today as they were when they rehearsed

in Jonnyrsquos bedroom at 268 Camden Road

before signing a record deal At Coldplayrsquos

north London HQ The Bakery a few weeks

later itrsquos clear therersquos a gang-like mentality

that keeps the four of them tight

ldquoIrsquove never felt like fame is getting in theway of me living the way I want to which

in certain circumstances it really can for

Chrisrdquo Will tells me ldquoI donrsquot envy that at

all but he handles it with extreme grace I

think Hersquos learned to deal with itrdquo

For his part Martin says hersquos never

been happier scoffing at rumours lsquoA Head

Full Of Dreamsrsquo will be Coldplayrsquos final

album together In an offhand remark to

DJ Zane Lowe last year he compared it to

ldquothe last Harry Potter bookrdquo something

Will raises his eyebrows about now

ldquoHe does tend to say things that get

misconstrued But also he does tend to

say something like that after pretty muchevery album He might say lsquoThis might

be our last onersquo and I think he genuinely

believes that I always liken it to James

Bond ndash as soon as they finish filming one

someonersquos like lsquoAre you gonna do another

onersquo and hersquos like lsquoNo chance f offrsquordquo

Martin wants the band to tour the album

properly over the next 18 months (they

played just 20 shows for previous album

lsquoGhost Storiesrsquo compared to 85 for 2011rsquos

lsquoMylo Xylotorsquo) and Berryman confirms the

band already have a series of worldwide

festivals and gigsmapped out which

will take them up to

late 2017 Only then

will they consider

taking time off and

he suspects it ldquocould

only be six monthsrdquo

before theyrsquore

ldquoitching to get back

into the studiordquo

So Coldplay

as all four of them

insist are not going

anywhere anytime

soon The bottomline explains Martin

just before he

heads west towards

Knightsbridge is

that hersquos finally

learned how to love

being frontman for

a massively popular

global band

ldquoIt helps me through thingsrdquo he says

ldquoAnd most of the time I walk around like

a normal person believe it or notrdquo Best

keep your eyes peeled the next

time yoursquore in townhellip

ldquoHey guys itrsquos Taylor I just wanted

to say thank you so much for voting

me NME International Solo Artist

I got the award in the mail and Igotta be honest with you about

this when you first open up the box

this feels a little aggressive Then

really suddenly Itrsquos kind of

about loss and what that can

mean and also the strength

that people can find in losing

something or someonerdquo

FAR CRY

ldquoFor me itrsquos the most sombre

and macabre song on the

record It highlights that wersquore

all just people but instead

of celebrating that it findsa way to negate thatrdquo

THE LOVE YOUrsquoRE GIVEN

ldquoIt all came from an emotion

in me of yearning for someone

to take care of themselves

That empathy we feel for the

people we love the most who

seem unaware of how much

theyrsquore loved This song looks

at that with selfishness with

the idea lsquoYou should take care

of yourself because then Irsquoll

be happierrsquo An interesting

way of expressing onersquos egordquo

Garratt yells

solid songwriting and

slick production The

dodgiest moments

come from the lyrics which flitfrom prematurely world-weary

goWill you keep me youngrdquo) to

overblown self-indulgence on lsquoMy

House Is Your Homersquo (ldquoIrsquove clothed

lsquoSurprise Yourselfrsquo is least mind-

opening of all full of widescreen

melodies and silly maxims like ldquoTalk

FOR THEIR FIRST

eight albums up to

and including 2009rsquos

spectacular lsquoMerriweather

Post Pavilionrsquo Animal

Collective honed new material

at their effervescent live shows

That was where the Baltimore

experimentalists liked to calculate

exactly how their songs locked

together and perfect every single

detail of their thick sound

Last time around though they

got burned As they mapped out

2012rsquos lsquoCentipede Hzrsquo on the road

each member (Panda Bear Avey

Tare Geologist and Deakin) heard

a different mix in his monitors

and each entered the studio with

a different idea of what worked

The result was a record none of the

band was happy with

So for their 10th

studio album lsquoPainting

Withrsquo itrsquos all changeDeakin is sitting this

one out (nothing

sinister just the way

Animal Collective

do business) and

the band have returned to basic

principles they never had That

means lsquojammingrsquo

Luckily this hasnrsquot resulted in

an album of prog-rock atrocities

Instead by sticking to Aveyrsquos

pre-album promise of ldquono BSrdquo

theyrsquove reconnected with their

pop smarts and come up with

a concise and warm album

Americarsquos Sunshine State is

celebrated as a ldquo mystical placerdquo

on the toytown stomp of single

lsquoFloriDadarsquo and potential hit

lsquoGolden Galrsquo bounces along

prettily in a toast to gender equality

(ldquoYoursquore so strongYou should hold

your head above themrdquo) Of course

it wouldnrsquot be Animal Collective

without Avey and Panda Bearrsquos

overlapping vocals valuing sound

over meaning or the acres of

electronic noise everywhere

lsquoHocus Pocusrsquo disorientates

with drone effects courtesy of

ex-Velvet Underground guitarist

John Cale before surging into a

sticky psychedelic rush lsquoOn Delayrsquo

is busier still as its commanding

two-note synth riff gives way to

slammed beats and a rave break

Yet out of this clatter they shape

their own improbably lovely pop

ldquoMy parents yelled lsquoBeware of the ivory manrsquordquo is an unlikely hook

but lsquoThe Burglarsrsquo pulls itself

together with the bandrsquos beloved

Beach Boys-y harmonies and

the wordless chorus of lsquoBagels In

Kievrsquo flutters and chirrups like

Godrsquos own lullaby

Overall lsquoPainting Withrsquo is

a dizzying lurid treat almost too

much to take in craving its natural

habitat And itrsquoll really come alive

++++ WESTERN HORROR GORE

Donrsquot let the horses fool you ndash

this is not your average western

Fresh from The Hateful

Eight Kurt Russell (right)

is back for more gore

Blood

and sandThe western revivalcontinues with this gorydesert-trekking epic

they trudge across identical bits

of desert Some of it may seem

indulgent ndash at 130 minutes the film

is luxurious with its time ndash but the

dialogue is so beautifully written

that itrsquos a pleasure just to sit and

listen and more importantly all thatslowly won camaraderie becomes

vital for the final stages to work

Just when it seems the story is

tying up things take an abrupt

ndash and gory ndash turn The long slowfuse of that trek ignites an

explosion of blood guts death

and excitement Did we mention

the killers are cannibals What

began as a stately western

becomes a surreal horror

which none of these men would

survive if they hadnrsquot built a

mutual understanding

This strange combination of

genres probably shouldnrsquot work

yet it meshes perfectly Bone

Tomahawk is one of the best

directing debuts in quite a while

Olly Richards

IT BEGINS WI TH A THROAT

being cut ndash with sawing motions

and great wet gurgles Itrsquos a

long time until such violence

comes again but Bone

Tomahawk warns you to prepare

for it Bed in but donrsquot settle

This is the directing debut of

Florida novelist S Craig Zahler

and hersquos made a western with

a definite literary bent ndash as

happy to hang with quiet men

doing nothing as it is to sling

about frantic bloody action

That slashed throat belongs toa poor man attacked by drifters

somewhere in Americarsquos dusty

nowhere in the 1890s

When one of those drifters

is killed by a barely seen Native

American the other tears into

the local town of Bright Hope

This kicks off a sequence of

events that sees the drifter and

a doctorrsquos assistant kidnapped

by the Native Americans The

sheriff ( The Hateful Eight rsquos

gruff Kurt Russell) his helper

( Six Feet Under star Richard

Jenkins) the kidnappeddoctorrsquos assistantrsquos broken-

legged husband ( Fargorsquos

Patrick Wilson) and a handsome

DESPITE ITS ANTI-ROMANTIC

title How To Be Single isnrsquot really

all that radical a romcom Based

on the best-selling novel by formerSex And The City script editor Liz

Tuccillo itrsquos merely one with an

extra dose of sisterly solidarity

and a trite but well-meaning

message donrsquot define yourself

by your relationship

Feeling suffocated by her

boyfriend Alice ( Fifty Shades Of

Grey rsquos Dakota Johnson) tells him

theyrsquore on a break moves in with

her workaholic older sister Meg

( This Is 40rsquos Leslie Mann) and gets

a job at a New York City law firm

There she meets Robin ( Pitch

Perfect rsquos Rebel Wilson) a brashfree spirit who fully embraces a life

of after-work partying and waking

up next to a different guy every

morning Their favourite drinking

hole happens to be frequented

by Lucy ( Mad Men star Alison

Rebel Wilson (left)

plays for laughs

Rebel Wilsonrsquosbrashness triumphs buta clunky plot makes this

romcom hard to fall for

Brie) a woman so obsessed with

finding The One that shersquos signed

up to 10 different dating websites

Although German director

Christian Ditter (who previously

made 2014 slush-fest Love Rosie )

introduces each character pretty

efficiently he never quite manages

to weave their individual stories

together Trapped at the periphery

throughout Briersquos character is so

two-dimensional we never even

find out if she has a jobThe inconsistent and

derivative tone is also a bit of

a letdown Johnson provides

a rather clunky Sex And The

City -style voiceover and when

a pregnant characterrsquos waters

break on the street itrsquos an

obvious attempt to inject some

Bridesmaids-esque bodily

fluids humour Yet at times the

interactions between the female

leads and their male romantic

interests reach Richard Curtis

levels of sap

Fortunately though there aresome genuinely funny moments

Playing what is essentially a hybrid

of Amy Schumerrsquos Trainwreck

heroine and her own Pitch Perfect

character Fat Amy Rebel Wilson

steals nearly every scene When

she hails a taxi by jumping

on its bonnet and telling the

driver ldquoIf you take me to the

hospital I wonrsquot suerdquo itrsquos silly

but hilarious OK the laughs

arenrsquot enough to paper over

the cracks but they definitely

provide a welcome distraction

The X-Files actor and singer in a rockrsquonrsquoroll band

The first songI rememberhearingTHE FRIENDS OF

DISTINCTION

Grazing In The Grass

ldquoI bought 45s when I was

a kid because they were

cheaper at 99 cents

where an album cost

three dollars and 69 cents

which was too much for my

budget The first single I

bought was called lsquoGrazing

In The Grassrsquo Itrsquos kind of

an RampBsoul number

lsquoGrazing in the grass is a

gas baby can you dig itrsquordquo

The albumthat changedmy lifeTHE BEATLES

The White Album

ldquoItrsquos a thing that pointsto certain mysteries that

I wasnrsquot quite yet ready

to understand There are

throwaways on it it wasnrsquot

all hits That kind of got me

off the lsquojust the hitsrsquo feeling

that I had when I was a kid

At the time I thought lsquoWhy

get a whole album Just

play the hitsrsquo But a few

albums changed my life

There was also Elton

Johnrsquos lsquoGoodbye Yellow

Brick Roadrsquo which seemed

to have a big scope Itseemed like a lot was

being dealt with And

lsquoFreshrsquo by Sly amp The Family

Stone And some Yes

albums I was into Yes

There was a lot of pot

smoking going on at

a certain point Yes were

good for thatrdquo

The songI play to getready for a gig

VARIOUS

ldquoBackstage when Irsquom with

the band wersquoll start singing

some songs but theyrsquore

always different Wersquoll also

stand in a huddle put

our arms around each

other and say something

vaguely inspirational like

lsquoRockrsquonrsquorollrsquo Something

clicheacuted and ridiculous like

that Or maybe lsquoLetrsquos go

melt some facesrsquordquoGo to NMEcom for

NOEL GALLAGHER

Oasis songwriter

17 February 1996

ldquoIf you took a kid from

the Bronx and a kid from

Brixton who probably

have nothing in commonwell the one thing theyrsquod

have in common is

theyrsquod own a copy of

lsquo(Whatrsquos The Story)

Morning Gloryrsquordquo

Davidrsquos album lsquoHell Or

Highwaterrsquo is out now

The song Iwish Irsquod writtenOASIS

Wonderwall ldquoI have this as an alarm on

my phone so I hear it very

often A perfect pop song

is a thing of beauty and

Irsquod say this is a perfect

pop song But there are

so many songs I wish Irsquod

written Another one that

comes into my head is

lsquoOnersquo by U2 I also wish

Irsquod written lsquoDear Prudencersquo

by The Beatles from

lsquoThe White Albumrsquo and

lsquoThank Yoursquo by Sly amp The

Family Stonerdquo

OASIS

The band thatmade me wantto make musicTHE BEATLES

ldquoThey were my favourite

band for forever But when

I started to play guitar and

think about songs together

it was Bob Dylan and The

Band More straight-

ahead rootsy rockrsquonrsquorollrdquo

The songI want playedat my funeralDAVID DUCHOVNY

Stars

ldquoIrsquod send rsquoem off with one

of my songs I donrsquot care

what they say afterwards

lsquoHow egotisticalrsquo Well

Irsquom dead I donrsquot carelsquoStarsrsquo has a cosmic feel

to it the lyrics are kind of

eternal and centre on the

fact that you see light from

some stars that are dead

because it takes so long

to travel to us It would

be good for the funeral

because itrsquos a meditation

on death Some things

appear to be alive but

are actually deadrdquo

THE BEATLES

SLY amp THE FAMILY STONE

The song I

can no longerlisten toKING HARVEST

Dancing In The Moonlight

ldquoI think if you canrsquot bear to

listen to a song any more

it passes All things pass

But there are certain songs

I used to play for my kids

that brutally remind me of

the passage of time This

was on a mixtape I used to

play in the car to get them

to sleep I hear it now and

think lsquoOh my God my kids

arenrsquot three any morersquo Itfeels roughrdquo

The songthat makesme danceSLY amp THE FAMILY

Thank You

ldquoIrsquom never able to stop

myself from dancing
