* SNOW PATROL is releasing an EP from their "AOL Sessions" appearance. The digital release will feature live versions of "Chasing Cars," "You're All I Have," "Hands Open," "Run"...as well as a BRIGHT EYES cover...

* We told you earlier in the week about OASIS frontmouth NOEL GALLAGHER calling KEANE singer TOM CHAPMAN a "post lightweight" for his addiction to port...
Well, Chapman has responded with a mouthful of bile...okay, that's a complete lie. "I'm a massive Oasis fan," Chapman says. "Noel's entitled to his own opinion, but frankly...I'm not bothered."
Wow. How, uhm, boring.
But hey...That, my friends is why Oasis is Oasis...and Keane is, well, Keane.
