• Noel Gallagher and those High Flying Birds of his have released new single ‘Black Star Dancing’. “It manages to combine the influences of David Bowie, INXS, U2, Queen, Indeep AND ZZ Top, FFS”, says Gallagher. “I might have been watching too much ‘Top Of The Pops’ recently. Anyway, it’s dope – not my words, but the words of Nile Rodgers who literally danced in the studio when he heard it!” Careful, that namedrop nearly landed on my toe.
