Question
Do you know if "Stop the Clocks" made it on the new CD under a different name?

Also, I've heard that "Let there be love" or "The importance of being idle" would be the 2nd single.  I hope it is "The importance..." because "Let there be love is the last track on the cd and when is the last time you've seen the last track on a cd as a single?  Plus, "Let there be love" just doesn't do anything for me.  Thoughts?

Answer
Hi Paul,

No, Stop the Clocks has not been released yet.  Noel was asked about this on the webcast Oasisinet hosted in April and he said that they've recorded several versions of it and it will likely be released one day, but it's just not ready yet.

I believe The Importance of Being Idle (my personal favorite on the album actually!) is going to be the next single.  I know the Sun had written that it would be Let There Be Love and the NME seemed to pick up on that but the big rumor is that Idle will be next.  I would expect to see Let There Be Love as a single at some point, but maybe the last one they release off the album.  Plus if you've seen the pictures the Sun published fromt he video shoot, it has the guys all dressed in black suits and apparently they are meant to be funeral directors so I don't think that's the theme they'd go for if they were shooting a video for Let There Be Love.  I adore the song, but I definitely think that if they are going to release it they should release it as the final single from this album.  Christmas #1 maybe? Would be nice!

Thanks & Take Care,
Kim :)
