Oasis release the first track to be revealed from the recently announced Definitely Maybe 30th Anniversary Deluxe Editions. Available on August 30th, 2024, on Big Brother Recordings, Definitely Maybe (30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) features tracks from the abandoned original recording session at Monnow Valley Studios, along with outtakes from the definitive album recording session at Sawmills Studios in Cornwall.
Newly mixed for the first time by Noel Gallagher and Callum Marinho, "Columbia (Sawmills Outtake)" weighs in at an epic 7 minutes 18 seconds, dwarfing the 6 minutes of the album original. Based around an effectively simple chord structure, the hypnotic rhythms of "Columbia (Sawmills Outtake)" spiral into delayed drums and droning feedback, with Noel Gallagher's harmonies buried deeper within the mix than on Owen Morris' final album version, where they were subsequently lifted to become one of the most beloved Oasis choruses. "Columbia" was one of the first Oasis songs to be written and was originally released on the band's now legendary early white-label. (continue)

Placebo are proud and excited to announce the release of their second feature-length documentary called This Search For Meaning. This intimate and enlightening film explores the ideas that inhabit the lyrics and subject matter of Placebo's songs, whilst charting their evolution as a group and as human beings. It is a fearless, truthful and forthright exploration of the creative process and the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, along with its inevitable consequences.
Since emerging from obscurity in the 1990s with provocative songs such as 'Nancy Boy' and 'Bruise Pristine', Placebo forged a decidedly unfashionable path through the brazenly macho 'Britpop' scene to explore subjects such as the body politic and the continued erosion of our human rights and our individuality, the ever growing epidemic of apathy in society and the hubris and corruption of those in power. Placebo seemed to be asking the questions no one else dared to, then dared the individual to find their own answers. (continue)
