And It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This!!!!!!

Egos, hairdos, and cool shades will reign supreme on the late summer trek that Oasis and Ryan Adams & the Cardinals have just announced together. The first of these joint shows is in Seattle, and the rest are in Canada. Both groups have scattered dates apart as well. This is Oasis' first Canadian tour, and their first time playing live since 2006.
At the moment, Oasis are at work on their seventh studio album in L.A., but UK residents will hear Oasis-flavored tunes as soon as May 26. That's the release date of the double-A-side Paul Weller single "Have You Made Up Your Mind"/ "Echoes Round the Sun". Noel Gallagher co-wrote "Echoes Round the Sun" with Weller, and Oasis' Gem Archer plays guitar and keyboards on it. Both of the songs on the single are from Weller's forthcoming double solo album, 22 Dreams, out June 2.

Since every band I have wanted to see live has conveniently skipped Detroit (except the National, thanks guys) I don't expect a show here but I can still hope and dream. I can't think of a better bill than Oasis and Ryan Adams. Both are egotistical bastards who love the media and know how to manipulate it to their liking. I would have never thought to put them together but it makes complete sense.
