easy to scoop the competition when you are printing unconfirmed rumors ... they still haven't gotten the permit to play in Beijing. A brief look back over the past eight years and you'll notice that the road is littered with acts that were 'announced' to be playing in Beijing but lo and behold, never came due to permitting/scheduling/etc issues.

yes, but in your scoop you totally omitted the fact that they were going through the final stages of confirming the gig.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you if they actually play? After you reported they were skipping Beijing. I bet you secretly hope they won't play, just to get on over on city weekend, because that seems like the petty man that you are.

See also changing my poll to include thebeijinger, and getting all your lackeys to vote for it.

Man you really can't take the superior competition, can you?

Live Forever.

including acts that you have reported as confirmed. What's the difference here?

note the original post:

Quote:

Shanghaiist recently noted that Oasis might be performing in Shanghai in April as part of their world tour. Although there is nothing up on the official Oasis site yet - closest we could find was the HK show on Apr 7 - Piao.com has the show listed as taking place on Apr 5 at Shanghai Grand Stage. Is this going to be another case of a major international act heading to Hong Kong and Shanghai but skipping Beijing?

we didn't report they were skipping beijing -- merely that a date had not been confirmed, and that, past history as a guide, many acts are in fact skipping beijing due for a variety of reasons, primarily among them that it's a very difficult place to actually turn a profit as everyone and their brother wants a free ticket but very few actually pony up the cash (unlike shanghai).

Yes, I bow down to ... the Shanghaiist.

If you want to get the timeline straight:

1. Shanghaiist kicked both of our's and city weekend's asses with the scoop of at least the Shanghai leg of the tour:

Posted by James Creegan in Arts/Entertainment on January 17, 2009 4:00 AM

2. We then chimed in, referring to multiple sources:

Submitted on Jan 19, 2009 11:00am by Paul Pennay

3. then City Weekend, three hours later, chimed in with a post declaring the concert confirmed (which it has not been) with no sources cited

Posted Jan 19th 2009 12:57p.m. by stonebanks

4. A subsequent call by our staff yesterday indicated that there are plans for a Beijing gig but that nothing has been confirmed yet.

5. We've updated our info. Neither CW or Shanghaiist has updated theirs.

Latest we've had from the organizers is that they will have more news on Thursday.

Don't cry.

Fact is that you strongly intimated that Oasis were to skip Beijing.

City weekend reported it would happen.

End of story

Guess we'll have to wait til Thursday to see who's the victor.

Because that's all it is to you, isn't it?

Anyway, I hope City weekend win.

Not because of your petty feud.

Simply because I would love my favourite band of the last 15 years to come to Beijing.

Needless to say I'll be going if they come.

It'd be cool if they played a smaller venue like the Star Live instead of Worker's Stadium.

Oasis is music for football hooligans and other motley, working-class peasants.

Best avoided.

Is it my immmmaaaaaggggiiiiinnnnnnnaaaaaattttiiiiiooooooonnnnn...

I nearly shat myself hearing The Oasis were playing here.

I love Liam Gallaghoons and co., time to start a quotes firestorm:

“Americans want grungy people, stabbing themselves in the head on stage. They get a bright bunch like us, with deodorant on, they don't get it.”

The cyber stalker; having very poor social skills so that they may have a limited number or no friends, knowing no life outside of the Internet due to insecurities that make them fear the real world...
ouch!

You're so uppity sometimes, Count.

What do you like? Coldplay?

I'm not a huge Oasis fan, but there are many individual songs I like quite a bit.

“I'm into the girls fancying me and stuff, mad for it. Get a bit worried if boys started fancying me, definitely. I've got nothing against gays . . . as long as they don't pinch me on the bum or whatever.”

I'm not really going to get into this with someone who probably grew up listening to their parents' old Chairman Mao speeches at worst and Chinese 'wo ai ni' pop at best.

Suffice to say, you don't know what you're talking about, and your teenage wild years probably hit you at around 25. ie, too late.

You know nothing, in other words.

Another of the countless 'their first album was ok' brigade of brainwashed sheep.

I will trash the merits of any band you care to name, Count, when measured up to Oasis in terms of cultural impact.

I'm afraid you'll predictably come up with Radiohead.

Please, Nigel, go for it.

Oasis are as gay as Noel Gallager's haircut. All they do is attempt to regurgitate Beatles riffs and melodies with a hint of Nirvana thrown in for good measure. When is Celine Dion coming back to town?

I loved the first round of The Stone Roses when I lived in the UK...

After donning a Patriots cap the Dalai Lama decreed that “the fifth noble truth is this: In 2009, Tom Brady will make people suffer for the suffering he endured in 2008.”

Never heard the Nirvana comparison before. Good one.

And Nirvana were Pixies/Beatles/Pistols/Mudhoney copyists (self-confessed), so, er.....fail.

That's the only attack isn't it? 'Beatles copyists'. Can you come up with something original?

Besides NO band is original these days. Best off copying the best, eh?

What's the name of their first album, Count?

Without googling it?

Bet you don't even know, you c**t.

If you truly are a Radiohead fan, man, that's like smelling farts for kicks, listening to that sludge.

I don't read the music press.

I read proper books. You may or may not remember those from your state schooling. Perhaps there were a few dusty tomes in the living room at home - next to the three flying ducks.

everybody in England over the age of 20 probably knows what their 1st album was called.

But to say it was crap obviously means you bought it.

No.

You mainly read the internet, cruising myspace pages for underage girls.
