Noel Gallagher sat down with Rolling Stone for an end of year chat.
Of 2013, he said:
“All I’ve done is sit around the house and become a fucking hypochondriac. Dog-shit year. Can’t wait until it’s over.”
He was asked if he had heard Arcade Fire’s new album.
“I haven’t heard it. Anybody that comes back with a double album, to me, needs to pry themselves out of their own asshole. This is not the Seventies, okay? Go and ask Billy Corgan about a double album. Who has the fucking time, in 2013, to sit through 45 minutes of a single album? How arrogant are these people to think that you’ve got an hour and a half to listen to a fucking record?”
Right so.

Look who made the Swedish version of Everyday Sexism. Do we even need translation?
For the curious amongst us, the piece [which appeared in the Swedish tabloid Expressen] translates as:
Wants to change the view on sex: “Today’s young women have sex besides than in a relationship way too freely,” thinks relationship debater and journalist David Quinn. He believes a change in the view on relationships and sex is the solution to the abortion question.
You’re welcome.
