Blur tried to be the first band in space, didn’t they? They sent up some stuff with the european mars probe or something like that, and the plan was that it would play these snippets after landing and blur would record these snippets and use them on their next record. But since the probe went MIA the plan went down the drain.
Sidenote, I think westlife would be scared shitless by the thought of fighting oasis and would probably flee in an escapepod.
