From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary. Yes… So, the gig here in Melbourne was great. (Yes, I'm still in Melbourne! They don't call this the Big Day Off for nothing.) It was at a place whose name escapes me just now, in a suburb called St. Kilda… A real saint? I think not. I mean, I'm no expert on the Bible, but when "they" forced us to study it at gunpoint at

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales from the middle of nowhere' tour diary Yes… Well… So? I've become addicted to watching the Aussie news. It's beyond hilarious.
