British Pop to Become Even Cheesier
Source: agentbedhead.com
Back in the Nineties, when people actually paid attention to the Gallagher brothers and Oasis, the band’s feud with rival group Blur was good for gallons of ink and gazillions of pixels from the British tabloid press. Some of us hoped the two bands might settle matters with a head-to-head playoff, preferably on a cruise ship that plowed into an iceberg made of frozen nitroglycerine at the height of the festivities. But passions cooled down, and now both groups are more than a little passé.
But not completely dead. Rumor has it that Blur and Oasis might rehash their feud on a special episode of The Weakest Link (don’t hold your breath). More interestingly, it’s possible that the Gallaghers might team up with Blur members Alex James and Damon Albarn to leave the music behind and make beautiful cheese together. In the memorable words of Alex James, “[cheese] was the glue that held Blur together for so long,” and supposedly Liam and Noel share his passion for the moldy stuff. The four are talking about creating a high-potency Stilton that could make its debut at the Brit music awards, hopefully as an alternative dessert course. Some think this story is too ridiculous to believe, but the truth is that Alex really is a dairy farmer and a serious cheesehead, who believes cheesemaking can redeem even the likes of the Gallagher brothers. According to the source: “He had the masterplan of creating something constructive through the medium of cheese, which would mark their maturity.” And about damn time.
