Happy birthday to Noel Gallagher, who turns 55 today (May 29). Can’t wait to find out what Liam got him. A vintage guitar, smashed into teeny-tiny pieces? Framed, blown-up versions of their baby pictures with his eyes Xed out? A video of Paul McCartney saying ‘Noel who?’ The possibilities are truly endless. While you ponder them — and spin Wonderwall and Supersonic one more time — you can also spin through this list of the 340-plus new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes arriving next week. Fooking brill, innit?
