UK tour dates now, recently played Occupy protests On tour now, with more dates added every week Video online now “Evocatively expands on his sonic fingerprint” - LA Times Tons of great press Mike Doughty tells the story of “Holiday” and working with Rosanne Cash From Mike’s recent interview on therumpus.net... Mike Doughty: I wrote the song with Dan Wilson. I went out to LA—he moved to LA, or his wife made him move to LA, because she’s from Guam. And she’s like, Minneapo- lis for twenty-five years? No thanks! We’re moving to some place with better weather. Anyway, I wanted to write a Christmas song. The idea was to not write this Christmas- is-shitty-and-this-is-our-Christmas song. But to sort of be, to be genuinely emotional but not corny. To write something that’s resonant and real, and which also has sleigh bells on it, because that’s the indication of the genre. And so we wrote this thing. I thought it was great. But it had a note that I couldn’t sing. And so I was, like, I’ll do it as a harmony. I’ll get a female singer. And I though why not go for the gold? So I was just like, Hey, Rosanne, you want to sing this song? And she said yes. Rumpus: You didn’t know her? Doughty: I met her at a show. Actually, she said from the stage, “I’m a little nervous because Mike Doughty’s here and he’s such a great songwriter.” She’s very conscious of her iconic qualities. So I think she thought: I’m going to freak Mike Doughty out by saying this thing from the stage. (side note from an email from WFUV’s Rita Houston: “And the show they met at was our Holiday Cheer for FUV”) Paste and EW kick off the US love-fest for Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds “While his brother Liam trundles on with the morose Beady Eye, Oasis’ better half delivers a bracingly kinetic solo salvo. Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds folds throwback psychedelia, rootsy Americana, U2-esque arena rock, and ever-present Fab Four nods into one formidable Britpop monster. Noel’s brand of musical theft isn’t Liam’s smash-and-grab thuggery — rather, he’s a gentleman villain who knows exactly what to steal. Rating: B+” - Entertainment Weekly “The rote storyline that presents itself as a backdrop to Noel Gallagher’s solo debut is overwhelmingly obvious: Oasis splits, seemingly for good. Arch-brother Liam and the rest of the group form Beady Eye and release a largely dispassionate record, and in between legal sibling sparring, Noel unleashes a competing project, knowing but maybe not caring that the two are destined for endless and obsessive comparison. Of the two he always seemed less taken with the tabloid edge of things, but there’s cer- tainly a fire in his tortured gut on the aptly named High Flying Birds. Noel’s intention to make at least some manner of statement is bracingly apparent —the anthemic orchestral swellings and searching vocals of “Everybody’s On the Run” operate on the epic scale of Oasis’ most confident songs, while “If I Had A Gun” is the spiritual offspring of “Wonderwall” without being disappointingly deriva- tive of its mega-hit predecessor. While not everything has the focus of those standouts, there’s a bristling energy throughout as songs end in rave-ups, harrumph with lavish structure and otherwise revel in Noel’s appreciable compositional skill. Underneath the coke and yobbery, an earnest heart always beat within Oasis’ best work, and it’s this stream of their collective soul that Noel has always better tapped. For those diehard Noel partisans who feel like his vocals on “Acquiesce” might be the pivotal emotional mo- ment in the Oasis catalog, this album provides an extra measure of proof that he’s the more indispensible of that particular duo of mop-haired misanthropes. Listening to the lyrics of “(I Wanna Live A Dream In My) Re- cord Machine,” you almost forget that the moment of yearning it portrays comes not from a young artist strain- ing himself bloody for an audience, but instead someone who has been to the mountain and back a few times over. Coming from a band that derives a certain amount of its notoriety from seeming jaded and indifferent, Gallagher’s solo flight is actually stunningly pure and beautifully rendered.” - Paste Magazine Keep up with us at rightarmresource.com and facebook.com/rightarmresource RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY UPDATE - 11/9/11.
