Take note aspiring popstars, Uncle Noel has some very useful advice for you all. Tell us who the fuck you are. You’d be amazed how often people fail this test.

Presented with a demo CD from an aspiring musician in his audience at a gig in Boston this weekend, Noel Gallagher quickly noted that the disc had been supplied without a label, card, tracklisting or anything.

“When you’re giving away CDs of your shit”, he told the “young people” in the room, “there’s not even a fucking name of who it is or what it’s called or a phone number or nothing. No song titles, no name, no nothing. Now unless this is some kind of psychedelic fucking art project, I’m saying, this cunt’s going nowhere”.

Having ascertained that the band in question was called The Memo, he went on: “Do you fucking get the irony of that, a CD with nothing written on by somebody called The Memo. Fucking hell!”

He then commanded his advice be posted to YouTube, which it duly was. So take note future music talent. Give your demo CDs to Noel Gallagher without a label on it, and then get loads of free promotion via YouTube. It’s a winner.
