Oasis' Noel Gallagher says he wasn't aware the band were streaming their new album via MySpace ahead of its release.

'Dig Out Your Soul' was made available as a stream for fans from 12pm today but won't be available to buy until October 6th.

Speaking to BBC 6Music, Gallagher said he only found out about the move when he read the newspaper this morning.

“I don’t have any opinion on that sort of thing. I don’t get involved. I’ve done a little bit for the website in the past. Are people streaming it on Myspace? Good luck to them,” he said.

"Somebody texted me today with it all and a load of jargon that I don’t understand and I was going, ‘Yes, I don’t know what that means...but yes.’”
