Looks like there's no Oasis in sight for parched fans presently roaming the vast deserts of New York City. According to an announcement on their website today, the Britpop juggernauts have been forced to cancel tomorrow night's (September 12) performance at Terminal 5 in NYC, owing once again to injuries incurred by Noel Gallagher during Sunday's Toronto assault incident.

Noel checked in via his blog on the Oasis website recently, though you'll need to register in order to see it. Or just read on! Noel's words, in all their unedited glory:

Nowt down today, droogs. Spent all day in bed suffering from my severe tickling at the hands of that drunken Canadian who, it transpires, is a grown man of 47 years!! (And I thought I was the oldest person at our gigs!) In his defence though, he's probably having one of those mid-life crises things. Apparently it's on YouTube. Imagine doing an assault on world television!? Did get to watch 4 "Seinfeld"s though. And some American football, so not too dissimilar to a normal day back home. Have to get another check up tomorrow. I'm gonna ask for new bionic ribs.

Apologies for blowing out the show in London (that's London in Canada). You can thank your comrade from Toronto for that. We will return though. Probably in December.

Anyway, gotta go. These painkillers are kicking in again.

That London, Ontario show was indeed rescheduled for December 15, as you know, while that "drunken Canadian", one Daniel Sullivan, faces assault charges and is due in court October 24.

And while Oasis won't be performing in New York tomorrow, they apparently will be meeting up with a bunch of NYC buskers for a little rehearsal session. Several of the city's finest subway and street corner performers will be taught three songs from the forthcoming Oasis record, Dig Out Your Soul, and will perform them at various spots around town tomorrow. To find out where you might hear some random dude/dudette belting out "The Turning", "Bag It Up", or "(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady", consult this handy guide.

It's also rumored that members of Oasis may be among the buskers, so, uh, good luck getting to all those spots up there at the same time to find out.

Furthermore, a documentary on the whole to-do is forthcoming, and try-at-home types are encouraged to head to this website, where, beginning September 16, sheet music from Dig Out Your Soul will be available for purposes of self-edification.

Ah yes, and that new album. It's picked up a tracklist and a few deluxe editions since our last dispatch. These get increasingly more complicated, so, deep breath: 1. the standard CD edition; 2. the digital edition; 3. the double-vinyl edition; 4. the deluxe CD digipack with bonus DVD containing a making-of documentary (Gold & Silver & Sunshine) and "The Shock of the Lightning" music video; 5. the crazy-super-deluxe box set with standard CD, nine-track bonus disc that includes a Chemical Brothers remix and a production by Death in Vegas' Richard Fearless, four(!)-LP edition of the album, the aforementioned DVD, a digital download code (if you buy via Oasis' site), and a big ol' book. As if that weren't nutty enough, 20 random copies of this crazy-deluxe limited edition box will be signed by the band. Ogle the busy-looking thing above and in video form here.

Dig Out Your Soul, once again, arrives October 6 in the UK and October 7 in the U.S. via the band's own Big Brother label (oooooo, Orwellian!). A UK single for "The Shock of the Lightning", meanwhile, lands September 29.
