The Gossip's front-lady Beth Ditto has told NME that Noel Gallagher is a fan of hers. She and the band were invited to Oasis's BRIT after party, where Gallagher paid her a compliment about her voice. Ditto said: "Noel Gallagher said I had one of the best voices in rock. To me that's great. I had a huge Oasis poster on my wall when I was in junior high. This was Arkansas, where no-one has heard of Oasis". Really? Arkansas sounds great.
Elsewhere in Oasis Stuff, Noel has said something nice (to NME) about Damon Albarn's new project The Good, The Bad and The Queen. He says "I love the bit at the end of their song 'The Good, The Bad and The Queen' when it goes crazy. There are some nice passages of music on their album as well".
Which is quite a turn around given that he used to want Albarn to get Aids and die. And Albarn was recently quoted as saying: "I can't make it up with Noel. Britpop would be over and heaven forbid that we'd ever admit we'd all grown up! Britpop still reigns supreme over Britain as a musical force and will do until Blur and Oasis split."
