Britpop is officially over. Fact. With the heyday of Britpop now only surviving in the minds of aging indie kids, Liam Gallagher has put the final nail in the coffin by announcing that the Blur vs Oasis war - the very heart of all things Britpop - is over.
Speaking to Mojo magazine, he said: "I don't mind Blur. I'm over it. It was a laugh man, that's what you do when you're young". Liam even went onto admit that he takes inspiration from Damon Albarn, adding: "When I see Damon Albarn, I buzz off him. If I was still caught up in it [the feud] now I'd be a right wanker".
Revelling in his newly found modesty, Gallagher continued by revealing that he thinks that he sounds like Tweetie Pie on Oasis' early material, adding that he prefers the way he sings now: "I hate my voice on all them [older] records. I sound like fucking Tweetie bird. I mean, they were good at the time, it's the best I could do, but I prefer it the way it is now."
He continued: "When I hear 'Slide Away', I think, 'That's a vocal', 'Supersonic', that's alright. But certain songs, [like] 'Live Forever', some of the high [notes], it's I just think [head in hands], 'Aw, fuck that'."
Oasis, of course, release their first download only single, 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down', on 21 Oct.
