Girls Dreams

<p>It's been a strange and surreal week for fans of Oasis. ​It started off with Liam Gallagher <a href="http://ift.tt/2eF7r0f; target="_blank">comparing Noel Gallagher to Adolf Hitler</a>​, and then suggesting that an Oasis reunion is comparable to Jesus not being crucified. And this whole thing comes after an entire summer of Liam calling Noel a "potato" repeatedly in interviews and on Twitter. And now, dear reader, we have another golden nugget to toss in the sack of Oasis content.</p><p>It transpires that the team behind the 1996 cult British film Trainspotting attempted to get Oasis to contribute to the soundtrack, but the band refused after assuming it was literally a movie about train enthusiasts and not a black comedy about the lives of heroin addicts in Edinburgh. This story was broken by <a href="http://ift.tt/2ehxuYQ; target="_blank">the Telegraph</a>​ following a question and answer session with Trainspotting producer Andrew Macdonald and costume designer Rachel Fleming at a recent 20th anniversary screening of the film.​</p><p>"Danny is from near Manchester and he was very keen to have Noel Gallagher do something but there was a reason why he didn't do it," explained McDonald. <span>"He came to the launch party in Cannes, but I don't know why he didn't do a piece of music." Costume designer Rachel </span><span>Fleming then interjected to say: "I met Noel [Gallagher] at a thing the other week and he said to me: 'I would have done something, but honestly I thought it was about train spotters. I didn't know.' That's what he actually said."</span></p><p>It really makes you ponder... ​What other films has Noel Gallagher decided against watching because he thinks the title is literally the film. Does he think <i>Human Traffic</i> is just about people queuing? Does he think <i>Goodfellas</i> is just a crap film about men being friends? <i>Silence of the Lambs</i>, a farming documentary? What a time we live in. Anyway, go read our story about how <a href="http://ift.tt/2eF5QHV Trainspotting soundtrack isn't that good anyway</a>​.</p>
