Noel Gallagher and I have a lot in common. He has a younger sibling, Liam. They both sang together in Oasis. I also have a younger sister and we've sung together (but the taped proof of that was destroyed like I asked, right, Mom?). He has a cat, and I've had cats. My sister and I've had big fights. Noel and Liam? They've had epic ones. Noel plays and has written amazing songs on the guitar, and I, um, own a guitar. Oh, and we shared a convo a while back, too.

I mean, other than Noel's big hits and gazillions of records sold, really, we're like twins. OK, maybe not so much, but in his interview with Jim Shearer on VH1's "Big Morning Buzz Live," Noel's so down-to-earth and funny that it's hard not to believe he's just like one of us (you know, minus the star status and musical talent). He talks about why his new project's called "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds" ("I didn't think my name was glamorous enough"), the "making of" documentary for his debut eponymous album (he jokes how he wished he would "shut up" when he watched it), and his cat, who was recently neutered. When Shearer asks what Noel does when hanging with his cat, Noel responds, "At the minute, we mourn his testicles." Noel also reveals that "life is too short" to tweet. Though he says if he tweeted, "I would probably be THE BEST tweeter of all time." You got us there, Noel.

Oasis, Franz Ferdinand, The Klaxons and now The Vaccines; pretty much every year the British music press produces a deafening din, working themselves into a frenzy over whatever they've anointed The Next Big Thing.

Well, call Brit laptop-soul singer James Blake the Next Quiet Thing. Over the course of 2010, Blake subtly romanced listeners with a series of mysterious EPs like CMYK and Klavierwerke. These records combined the intimate heartbreak of Bon Iver, the R&B leanings of Hot Chip and the glitchy beats of dubstep titans like Burial (who you should certainly look up if you haven't listened yet).

James Blake's self-titled debut lbum takes things in absolutely gorgeous directions. While songs remain hushed and stitched together, the 22-year-old singer accentuates his melodies and pop chops. Nowhere is this more evident than on the gorgeous ballad "Limit To Your Love."

"Limit To Your Love" finds James Blake stepping out from behind the protection of his laptop and all of its tricks and treatments (not that those tricks aren't engaging as all get out), performing a tender torch song, unadorned with any effects. The effect of which is pretty stunning.

Check out James Blake's wonderful video for "Limit To Your Love," below. CMYK and Klavierwerke are both out now, and James Blake is due out next month.

+ Twitter may be an increasingly shrinking object in Miley Cyrus' rearview mirror, as The Last Song star left its confines last fall. But that hasn't stopped her from dissing it from afar. Apparently not being attached to the Internet turns your life into the "Party In The U.S.A." video. "I'm a lot less on my phone, I'm a little bit more social. I have a lot more real friends as opposed to friends who are on the Internet who I'm talking to." Cyrus: 1, Internet: 0. (MTV News)

+ Buzzworthy told you about Ryan Good, a.k.a. Justin Bieber's Swagger Coach, a.k.a. The JB's Style Genie a while back. So imagine how dismayed we were to hear that, according to sources at Bieber's label, "swagger coach" is not an official title, and Good is, more likely, a lowly assistant. "If your job qualifications are 'Usher called me and said he thought Justin would benefit from being around a cool white boy,' then, no, I don't think you're doing anything real." (E! Online)

+ Gaga, Glee: It is, apparently, on. After roping in top-line talent like Jennifer Lopez and Neil Patrick Harris for upcoming episodes, Glee creator Ryan Murphy has pulled off something of a coup by lining up Lady Gaga for a future episode. According to Murphy, "We reached out to Lady Gaga and she said, 'Yes, I'd love to be a part of it.' So we will be doing Lady Gaga this season." Now whether this will mean she will actually be appearing or they will just be doing a Gaga-themed episode (à la the show's upcoming all-Madonna ep), remains to be seen. (Limelife)

+ Following in the footsteps of Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg is rumored to be making an appearance at this summer's Glastonbury festival. Hova famously became the first hip-hop act to headline the legendary U.K. festival in 2008, performing a version of Oasis' "Wonderwall" during his set in the face of Noel Gallagher's objections to having a rapper headline the traditionally rock and dance-oriented fest. Snoop would be joining the likes of U2 and Muse at this year's show. (Spinner)

+ And, finally, we leave you with something that absolutely, positively needs to happen. Nicki Minaj has publicly voiced her desire to work with Beyoncé, telling BET, "I think I could come up with some crazy stuff for Beyoncé. ... I have things that I write for girls, like R&B singers." (Rap-Up)

+ Lady Gaga's music videos have become must-see TV; events unto themselves. Her nine-plus-minute epic "Telephone" clip, featuring a foul-mouthed Beyonce, certainly has tongues wagging today, and that's exactly how she wants it, telling MTV News, "I'm always trying to convolute everyone's idea of what a pop music video should be." (MTV News)

+ Chris Brown is appealing to fans to help him out with a very important cause. What cause? The health and well-being of Chris Brown's career. Brown released an audio message to his fans, asking them to call radio stations and request his songs, which he feels are not being played due to the nosedive his public image has taken in the wake of his recent Rihanna-related legal issues. (Idolator)

+ Soiled Ballet Slippers by Amy Winehouse ... Because you're worth it. Yep, the "Rehab" singer is expanding her horizons, collaborating with legendary English fashion label, Fred Perry. Winehouse, when she's feeling up to it, is frequently seen wearing the brand, which has been a longtime favorite of Brit musicians, from The Specials to Oasis. (LimeLife)

+ The artwork for Alicia Keys' new single, "Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)" has been leaked. And, no surprise, she looks absolutely stunning. (We Are Pop Slags)

+ Madonna was a guest judge on Jerry Seinfeld's new show The Marriage Ref. With her wealth of experience in the fields of unions and divorces, she was probably the perfect person for the gig. But that didn't stop Curb Your Enthusiasm's Larry David and Brit funnyman Ricky Gervais from poking fun at her. (Seriously? OMG! WTF?!)

You might think the boys in Vampire Weekend would be a little stressed about following up their critically-lauded, self-titled debut. But you'd never know it from watching singer/guitarist Ezra Koenig and bassist Chris Baio glide through this episode of "The 5."

Here, half of Vampire Weekend talks about some things that are true. For example, Chris Baio is the cousin of Scott Baio, who you may know from famous '80s sitcom Charles In Charge, or from the infamous '00s reality show Scott Baio Is 45 And Single.

In the not-true department, while you gotta love the amusing anecdote about playing the very same festival that saw Oasis call it quits, I would like to see some evidence documenting Ezra Koenig's ability to heal hundreds of teenage fans left bereft at the announcement of the Gallagher brothers' break-up.

Koenig and Baio also talk about the meaning (or multiple meanings) behind the name of their new album, Contra, as well as the joys of being a wedding band. Contra is due out January 12th, 2010. Stay tuned for the "Cousins" MTV video premiere on Thursday, November 19.

Theft -- the name of multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Matt McCartie's musical project -- is perhaps an homage to the epic rock echoings of his Brit-rock influences.

After kicking around in bands for a while, McCartie decided to go it alone, building his own recording studio and recording all the parts for Theft's songs. Not that you'd know it listening to songs like, "Fireworks Explode" and "Never Be The Same," which could easily be mistaken for the British sounds of Coldplay's lilting heart, The Verve's epic sweep, and Oasis' raw edge.

Even if you're new to Theft you might've heard McCartie's music already. His song, "Breathing Underwater" is the theme song to the late DJ AM's new MTV show, Gone Too Far, which examines the devastating effects of drug addiction and offering hope to those willing to accept the opportunity to change their lives. His the Theft song, "Fireworks Explode," became the theme song to season 1 of It's On With Alexa Chung.

You can check out music at Theft's MySpace, follow him on Twitter @theft, and download "Breathing Underwater" here.
