NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS

OASIS are still in the frame to play Glastonbury 2000 - despite Noel Gallagher appearing to criticise last month's festival.
Spotted at the Toxic Twin Towers Aerosmith gig at Wembley during Glastonbury weekend, he declared: "It fuckin' beats going to Glastonbury, d'you know what I mean? There've been a thousand robberies or something it said on the telly this morning. At least they can't blame me for that."
But festival organiser Michael Eavis said they were still talking to Oasis with a view to headlining the event next year. He said: "He loves playing here! Maybe he just didn't want to come as a ligger and get hassled all the time, or maybe he's got so rich now that Glastonbury doesn't matter to him any more. Maybe he's got a bit big for his boots."
"But that's not the impression I got from them. We'd obviously still love them to play and last time we talked to them about next year it still seemed possible. We're still in dialogue with them, so we'll see."
