Paolo Nutini’s new album ‘Last Night In The Bittersweet‘.The legendary filmmaker is reportedly credited on the album’s opening track ‘Aftermath’, which features a sample of a passage from his 1993 film True Romance.A source told The Sun: “Paolo likes to make all of his music himself, but to have Tarantino’s name credited on your track is pretty cool.”Nutini previously sampled Charlie Chaplin’s speech from 1940’s The Great Dictator, which he used on 2014 song ‘Iron Sky’.Last month, the Scottish singer-songwriter announced his first album in eight years for a July 1 release. With it he shared two new songs ‘Lose It’ and ‘Through The Echoes’ and also unveiled another single ‘Shine A Light’ last week.Nutini was one of the support acts for Liam Gallagher’s Knebworth weekender last week alongside Kasabian, Fat White Family and others.

Kasabian took to Later… With Jools Holland this weekend (June 3) – watch them perform recent single ‘SCRIPTVRE’ below.The band are set to release their forthcoming album ‘The Alchemist’s Euphoria‘ this year, and this week shared new song ‘Chemicals’ and announced new UK autumn/winter tour dates.‘Chemicals’ follows ‘ALYGATOR‘, and ‘SCRIPTVRE‘, which were shared last year and earlier this year respectively. The band – now led by principal songwriter Serge Pizzorno – brought the later to the Jools stage.Pizzorno, who took over on frontman duties after the band fired Tom Meighan for his domestic violence conviction two years ago, explained of the new track to NME: “We all make up this narrative of who we think we are.“This is about ripping that up, going against all that and no longer going with your own madness.

Liam Gallagher was joined by The Stone Roses’ John Squire at the first of two nights at Knebworth yesterday (June 3).The former Oasis frontman is returning to the venue where the Manchester band played their iconic gigs in 1996 to celebrate the release of his third solo album ‘C’mon You Know’.Squire – who also appeared at Oasis’ Knebworth gigs 26 years ago – joined Gallagher on stage for the closing song of the set, ‘Champagne Supernova’.“A big fucking round of applause for the coolest man on the planet,” Gallagher told the crowd as he introduced him.

It was a request made by Taylor’s sister Katie, who tweeted it to Gallagher last month.

Ted Lasso‘s Phil Dunster has spoken about his character in the show, Jamie Tartt, suggesting that he has the “swagger” of Liam Gallagher.Speaking to the Los Angeles Times ahead of the Apple TV+ football comedy’s third season – now expected to arrive at the end of this year – Dunster said he “knew there was an arc that was to come” which will see Tartt “hopefully become a better person, stepping away from the hairstyles and general behaviour.”Some of that behaviour, he added, owes a debt to Mancunian stars in both football and music. “You have people like Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher, and Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford, and it’s not just that they have the accent,” he said.“They’ve got this energy, the persona comes with it. There’s an attitude.

Liam Gallagher has recalled the gig that made him want to join a band in a new interview with NME – watch it above now.The former Oasis frontman looked back on his life in music in the latest in NME’s Firsts series, sharing his first festival, the first thing he would do after the release of ‘C’mon You Know’ and more.When asked what the first gig he went to was, Gallagher replied: “The Stone Roses in [ex-Manchester music venue] International 2. It was ‘89, ‘Plymouth Grove, with my mate Dave.”He added: “It blew my mind and that’s when I wanted to join a band.”The star also revealed that the Roses were the first band he fell in love with.

He’s also set to support Liam Gallagher this weekend at one of his two Knebworth shows.Listen to ‘Shine A Light’ below: Nutini’s ‘Last Night In The Bittersweet’ is released on July 1 via Atlantic Records.
