Noel Gallagher in 1989
"No video, but audio of a demo called Hey You that Noel Gallagher recorded in 1989, two years before he joined Oasis. Erm, let's just say he's come quite a way. As has a teenage Peter Doherty, queuing to buy Oasis's Be Here Now in 1997. What a sensible young man he seemed." ML

My Morning Jacket play Touch Me I'm Going To Scream Part II in the back of a taxi
"The idea is simple yet incredibly entertaining: artists perform stripped-down versions of their songs in the back of a taxi as it cruises around London. If you haven't seen any of the Black Cab Sessions before, we'd suggest checking out not only the stunning My Morning Jacket performance above, but also similarly stellar cab-based brilliance from Seasick Steve, Fleet Foxes, Cold War Kids and Death Cab For Cutie."

Noel Gallagher and Gem Archer perform Listen Up
"Listen Up is one of several great but often-overlooked early Oasis b-sides hamstrung by pretty rough production. The song is given room to breathe in this arrangement, taken from a 2006 promotional tour in support of Stop The Clocks, the Oasis 'best of' compilation. To find out what life in the Oasis camp is like circa 2008, listen to what Noel had to say when we spoke to him last week." CV

MC5: Ramblin Rose (Live in Detroit, 1970)
"In 'celebration' of the news that the guitar trio of Wayne Kramer (MC5), Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains) and Gilby Clarke (Guns N' Roses, 'MC5') are to "update and modernize the sound" (don't get me started…) of Kick Out The Jams for Guitar Hero World Tour, it's time for some genuine punk fury. Check out this clip of Kramer at his best at Wayne State University's Tartar Field in Detroit, introduced by the distinctly groovesome Gail. "Don't freak out, this is really a television programme!" Hell yeah! Fuck Hudson's!" MG
