The Importance of Being Ample

For a band that wants nothing to do with Radiohead, Oasis are kind of following in the footsteps of their fellow countrymen. According to the band's website, Oasis will be releasing a box set version of their upcoming Dig Out Your Soul. The entire package will retail for a pricey $99, and will contain four vinyl discs (?!?), two cd's, a dvd, and a hardcover book -- all encased in an embossed box. What? They couldn't splurge for the leather bound option? Thanks, but no thanks. And for the record, this sounds awfully similar to the nice little package Radiohead put together for the vinyl release of In Rainbows. But then again, the brothers Gallagher have never been known for their originality.

In other Oasis news, here's a first listen of the new single, "The Shock of Lightning":
