Liam G has confirmed that his new band - Oasis Minus Noel - won't be called Oasis, as he had at one time suggested. He told Xfm: "No, it's not Oasis, that was a shit name anyway. I'm glad to see the back of it".

He added that the band already had a new name in mind, but that they wouldn't reveal it until they were fully happy with it. Meanwhile, the NME is running a blog debate on possible names. I'm proposing Oasis Minus Noel. Practical, easy to use, and a guarantee that the new Oasis will never attempt a Christmas song.

Noel G, by the way, will play his first post-Oasis gigs next month as part of the Teenage Cancer Trust programme. This has been very widely reported, but we never quite got round to writing about it here in the CMU Daily. Now we have. Fun times.
