I do like it when spam is creative and if you spam us again we’ll rip your damn head off and send the born again Cruncher around to nail you to the back of an old army ambulance. Oh yes, we do find it hilarious when a band who think they’re on such an up and think ah we don’t need them damn big mouthed Organs anymore and then suddenly find they are no longer flavour of the week over at the NME (and indeed that being in the damn NME didn’t make a jack of difference anymore now it’s not 1992 and what not fox trox and back they come a running with bombardments of sorry messages and we didn’t mean it and please review our new record. Laugh? Haven’t had such a big bad giraffe since the day of the Rockening (or at least the Bon Jovi Idol incident yesterday – how did you communicate before My Space mummy?). You see, there’s two options, either you see things like Organ as a part in a network of real alternatives and interwoven structures or you just want to use people like us as a career building stepping stone – if you do then when you come back falling down the stone has gone, you kicked it away, remember? You thought you were the lone ranger making breakfast commercials and raging against every machine and everyone else besides and how does it feel to be on your own (happy 65th Bob) like a bag of bones and we’re too busy with the exciting new things and stop the rot, nose dive karma 
 

ORGAN TV will be back for more starting Mid summer 2006. ORGAN TV returns for a year long series that will be available via SKY all over the UK (and a good portion of Europe). Watch this space for more details, times, channel numbers, dates. How? What? Where? ORGAN TV enjoyed a short run and caused a big stir on Sky back in 2003 – we just went out and did what people said couldn’t be done, we stuck our necks out (again) and proved it can be done and that Music TV can actually be exciting.  And now we’ve been invited back for more. Now you know our musical policy, you know what we do and what we like and what we’re about – you know what to expect on ORGAN TV, you know you can expect the unexpected (this may be on Sky but hey, totally on our terms). It can be done and it’s happening right now - MTV style music TV from us.  Music TV with attitude. Cutting edge music, exciting videos, alternatives. Want to get your material on? We want to see what you’ve got – it has to be broadcast quality, it can be DIY, you CAN make exciting videos on a very very small budget. Get your DVDs (video tapes if you must) in to us and we promise to have a look. We want exciting videos, we want video that hold us right through, we want different videos. We don’t want the same old crap they show on the other channels, we don’t want all those safe predictable videos they already show everywhere else, the ones that have you hitting the remote half way through – time to shake things up a little more. 
 Video makers, film makers, animators, anybody doing anything interesting – we want eye candy, we want your creativity, we want your one minute documentaries, your 20 second bursts (or five minute bursts) of animation we want all kinds of bites running between the band videos – send in your creativity or point us to places like My Space or You Tube.   The only rules we have are our rules (and a few of those broadcast rules, oh and the no HARD-Fi rule but hey you knew that...). We make no promises to anyone other than to check out everything and chase you if we want to use what you have...    What are we lining up? HELLA, DEERHOOF, LITTLE TROPHY, COLT, LIARS, 65DAYSOFSTATIC, BATTLES,  CARDIACS, MASTODON, HIGH ON FIRE, SIDEARM, YIP-YIP, NEXT LIFE, PRISCILLAS, GENE SERENE, AMON TOBIN, JAGA JAZZIST, MC LARS, HUMAN TOYS, SPIT LIKE THIS, NONE MORE BLACK and who knows what.... video links can be sent to organzine @ aol . com

Who got played? Where do you go to find out more? Here's the answers 

1/intro theme - TRANSISTOR SIX - Backyard Rocketship 

2: SION ORGON - Zena Gets The Viberation (Experimental Seafood) - Sion Orgon from Wales  (and from the recently re-grouped Rocket Gold Star) with a solo track and more of his
Stockhausen style found-sound and field noise (Sion is a regular collaborator with T
highpaulsandra - Coil, Julian Cope and such). No he's nothing to do with me, he spells his
name the Welsh way, and I dim un sharrad Cymraeg anymore dioch, ble mae.... This is a
track from his rather fine Orgonised Chaos album, guess that was tempting fate and much
Un-Organised chaos for tonights show... www.myspace.com/sionorgon

3: I LIKE TRAINS - The Beaching Report (Fierce Panda) - We had to follow the Sunday Play
(Crazy Locomotive - all performed live in the RFM studio by the way, and as always a privilege  to witness it. I'm sure most people think it's just a recording. No! Actors, musicians all in the studio and all very very live). Anyway we had to follow the play with a track about that evil  branch cutting Doctor. The track can be found on the Leeds band's new mini album Progress Reform (out on July 3). There's something wonderful about a band who perform so gloriously and in full British Rail uniforms in front of films of trains - genius indeed. Catch then at the  Dublin Castle in Camden on May 30 - www.iliketrains.co.uk / www.myspace.com/iliketrains

4: SUNS OF THE TUNDRA - Now The Flood Has Come (Shinny Mack) - New track from the
London band's forthcoming album TUNGSHA, released on their own label Shiny Mack. Suns Of The Tundra were formally knows as Peach, there's a long long history, some say this is where Tool got their sound from (Tool's Justin Chancellor was once in Peach and both bands toured together lots back in the early days of Tool). The next Suns gig is Sunday 4 June at the Camden Barfly, but hey that's your night to stay in and listen to the radio right? Ooooooo, STOP PRESS: Tool HAVE JUST INSISTED THEY BE ADDED TO THE BILL ON Tool day at Download - www.sunsofthetundra.co.uk

5: CARTRIDGE - Fooling Around (Cartridge Music) - Yes I know we played this last time it was my turn to pilot the Organ hour, but hey they're a London band releasing their own debut album on their own label with no formal distribution or support system. The whole album is wonderful, it just happens that this track captures the whole flavour of the fine album best in one wholesome track. You should also check out the other left-field post rock/pop/avant/classical projects that the various members are involved in - theres some rather delicious discoveries to be made. www.cartridgeband.com

6: WHIMWISE - Of Cogs And Coils - Another self released CD from the band led by one time
Dagaband/Tamarisk member Nick May. The band are from Chichester. Find out more from Nick at www.nickmay.co.uk

7: SPITFIRE BOYS - British Refugee (Korovo) - A slice from the three CD compilation released on the recently born again late 70s early 80s North West indie label Korovo. The compilation in out on June 19, it's called NORTH BY NORTH WEST - MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL PUNK, NEW WAVE AND POST-PUNK MUSIC 1976-1984. Spitfire Boys are on the Liverpool Disc 

8: JOHN COOPER CLARK - Valley Of The Lost Women (Korovo), a Manchester slice from the above album - you get a Liverpool disc a Manchester disc and a disc of previously unreleased or hard to get treats like this John Cooper Clark track - a fine slice of 30 year old Northern English grime that leads us to some fresh grime from Florida 

9: DIRT - Shine Without The Bling - Download) From P.G Florida with some delicious low-slung cool as F hip-hop/grime or whatever we should be calling it, I don't really care what its called,  we listened, we liked, we downloaded and we played and we hope you liked and we shall do it all again we hope (I kind of liked the way it fitted next to John Cooper Clark) -
www.myspace.com/dirtiestinthesouth

10: HUMAN TOYS - Different kind Of Tension (demo) - Another slice of Manchester only this
time from Paris and three rather intense girls called Human Toys (who explained in very
positive terms how women were not to be treated as mere human toys when I politely asked
them about their name), they have some great self-penned songs as well as this Buzzcocks
cover (see that's where Manchester came in and linked to that compilation we were talking
about a minute ago - see there is an order to this organ-ised chaos). Check out Human Toys,
they have some excellent videos as well (make sure you get the z on the end of their URL now - www.myspace.com/humantoyz

11: 65DAYSOFSTATIC - Drove Through Ghosts To Get Here (Monotreme) - New single from
the Sheffield bands recent album - there's also a downloadable video available free for one
week - this week. www.65daysofstatic.com / www.myspace.com/monotremerecords

12: LOWER FORTY-EIGHT - Afterlife (Monotreme) - Track from the recently released album
Apertures. Fine post-rock/hardcore from San Francisco as recently seen thrilling small
packed-in crowds in various backrooms of north London pubs.- www.lowerforty-eight.com

13: THE KNIGHTS OF THE NEW CRUSADE - What Part of Thou Shalt Not Kill Don't You
Understand? (Alternative Tentacles) - A bunch of nameless Bay Area punk rock/Garage
musicians taking the bible straight and literal and getting such a hostile reception from the
American religious right for doing so - now why would that be? The album is called A Challenge To The Cowards of Christendom. They read their bibles, they took the words and they passed on the message they found in those words, where's the problem America? 

14: BLOSSOM - Sundays (demo) - From the edges of London (High Wycombe actually) with
more than a hint of Cardiacs, not sure about the size of that hint actually, Cardiacs,
Madness.... Was it too close for comfort? Fine slice of Cardipop but now Im not sure -
Cardiness? Madiacs? Where does one thing and another start? I don't know, rather like them - cheeky bit of liberty taking but hey (seems from the e.mails some of you didn't like their liberty taking) www.myspace.com/blossomtime

15: THE KNIGHTS OF THE NEW CRUSADE - Why Do You Want To Go To Hell? (Alternative
Tentacles)See above, well it was Sunday and the day after the Rockalypse and the day of
rockening and those Satanic Finns invading our homes and the Eurovision - Lordi, what is
happen with this world? Punk Rock Hallelujah - www.alternativetentacles.com

15: ANIMA - Pigs On The Wing - (demo) laid back one minute twenty eight seconds of lo-fi
D.I.Y acoustic Animals from over there - yes they/he? Found me/us on My Space (doesnt
everyone?). All I know is Anima comes from the North West of the USA -
www.myspace.com/guitarica

16: GLASSGLUE - You know The Name (demo) Time for another bite of the recent five track
demo part of which was recorded live as a session for this very radio station, a band much
loved by Resonance DJs and listeners alike judging by all the requests for more -
www.glassglue.info

17: JON REDFERN - Lost - Delicate track from London and Jon's rather experimental Nick
Drake/John Martyn/Roy Harper flavoured breezy uplifting self released album that I think is
called May Be Some Time (yes I got it from My Space after a slighty annoyed message from Jon about how the music press never take any notice of people without a big labels money  behind them and how he would probably be wasting his time and money to even bother  sending us his album - please do Jon, it's what Organ is about). www.myspace.com/jonredfern

18: LUMINESCENT ORCHESTRA - Amaritsi (Lumii) - A track from the self proclaimed
Brooklyn (New York) "Gypsy Tango Klezmer Punk" band's album Too Hot To Sleep. They have some UK dates booked for August, mostly in Scotland right now, they need a London show...  More from us later on - someone book them some London shows and radio sessions and everything else - www.lumii.org

19: XEROX GIRLS - Keep Your Mouth Shut (demo) Ah now what can we say about teen
(s)punk and Making History and the thing that was the London screaming punk and punk can
be DIY riotgrrl/boy glory that was Xerox Girls. Just a bit of pissed-off 90s London underground
fanzine powered rule breaking history that probably never ever got on the radio at the time and
needed to be slipped in now just because. Where can you get it? Oh they're long gone now -
try a websearch, be careful now.... 

20: WHIMWISE - Opening Books - Another small taste from self released CD (as an outro)
from the band led by one time Dagaband/Tamarisk member Nick May. Find out more from Nick at www.nickmay.co.uk

This Sunday it's Marina's turn again and her OTHER ROCK SHOW that explores rock played in other time signatures rather than limiting itself to the traditions of 4/4 time.... real prog...

DEMO OF THE WEEK

INNER RAGE – Brutal metal three piece from London town (via Brazil), choppy growling stomp-monsters with a hint of off the rails jazzy awkwardness to their raw extreme tastiness – hey, this is rather different, mostly instrumental and a little Cheer Accident flavoured (that should be considered a massive compliment). Fucking Champs for Slayer fans – good things could be brewing, fine raw demo (and they’re working with a couple of ex Miocene people of their debut album right now) www.innerrage.com

ALSO CHECK OUT

THE GHOSTS - From Manchester so don’t mix them up with the Ghosts from Glasgow, or the ones from London or Chicago or all the other places that aren’t as fine as Manchester. That kind of whispery horny I’m-all-out-of-breath girl voiced thing that Katie Jane Garside does.  Clever accomplished music, music to wrap around it all and you won’t be wanting to cross her path either, she swears she will annihilate you and your stupid friends - sweet love song. Sinister hoodoo voodoo and all kinds of swallowed pins - yes, one for Queen
Adrena/Pornorphans fans - www.theghosts.co.uk

ALPHA DISTRICT - A fine blend of impressively moody indie guitar adventure, post rock texture and mellow electro drum’n bass laptop beats all fused together at Radiohead pace. Organic and electronic, warm and intelligent - challenging ideas, playing with blends and pollinating a whole bag of flavours in an attempt to do something just a little different. Four fine tracks from a new London band who may well be worth keeping a spare ear on. www.alphadistrict.com

INTERROGATE – Unbroken - Standard issue intense growl-metal brutality, the Northern Irish crew are pretty good without ever really threatening to stand out. There’s a bit of light and shade, the sound is professional enough, they do all the quiet intro bits and the intense double vocal double kicking thing as they sing about wanting to rip heads off. Bit of a hardcore edge here and there – the tittle track is certainly pushing in to what must now be considered more traditional hardcore metal areas... www.interrogate13.com

Last week's demo of the week - ALLERGO

Previous demo's of the week - BROOKE / CARTRIDGE / PERHAPS CONTRAPTION / THE PROCESS VOID

ALBUM OF THE WEEK

ABOUT  - Bongo (CockRockDisco) - If Beck had been locked in a room for a decade with nothing but a bunch of Squarepusher and Aphex Twin recordings instead of tragically getting into Scientology, he might, occasionally sound as good as this. Bongo is the first album from Amsterdam-based avant-electro alchemists About. Coming out of this envelope-pushing zeitgeist where abusing synths and laptops and found sound to an ear-melting degree is the norm, About represent the least scary end of the spectrum. The result is awesomely arranged, superb pop, sliced and diced and twisted, sauced with enough dollops of extreme machine sound to astonish your average daytime radio listener whilst remaining accessible enough to actually get played.  Fine lyrics, deeply, absurdly catchy songs, and enough mentalist breaks, cut-ups, drop-outs, rock-outs and not-quite-four-to-the-floor rhythms keep everybody happy. 
     About is pretty much 99% the work of Rutger Hoedemaeker, who provides most of the (West-Coast-sounding, enjoyably geeky) vocals. Additional female voice comes from live cohort Marg, notably on the Best Cheesy Pop Rock Song With Glitches In Ever, Band Dynamics.  In between the floor-fillers come a variety of experimentations, some a touch Michael Nyman, some a tad gabba DJ Scotch Egg, culminating in the three superb minutes of Stack Of Marshalls, a final flourish of brilliance that combines casiotone cuteness, Cardiacs' angularity, banging techno, bonkers yet confident glitchwork and memorable lyrics. 
Bongo has a way of creeping back onto the decks here at Organ, by dint of being so stuffed full of bright ideas and sonic curiosities that boredom has yet to set in. It's crafted to such a degree, yet About are said to perform this live, and deliver the rock goods too.

ALBUM OF THE WEEK 2

DODDODO - Sample Bitch Story (AdAadAt) - Out of the AdAadAt stable of wildly imaginative mutant avant-electronic beasts (some with hooves, some with only one head) comes Doddodo, consistently one of the madder offerings on those increasingly legendary Trade And Distribution Almanac compilations. What do we know of Doddodo? Nothing, save this cryptic distribution from AdAadAt:  In the year 1999, scientists working on artificially intelligent barbie dolls accidentally spilled some rare, toxic chemicals into a pink envelope of Mickey Mouse stickers (codenamed Doddodo). To their amazement, the envelope began to grow limbs and eyes. On learning that the scientists wished to subject Doddodo to a horrifying battery of vivisection style experiments, AdAadAt artist Ove-Naxx staged a break in to the lab and rescued Doddodo to the relative safety of Osaka's experimental music scene. This may mean that Doddodo comes from Osaka, or it may be foolish boddlefodder. Something about the sleeve artwork reminds me of that of The Boredoms, a very subtle creepy/kitch humour, and yes, there is something similarly wilful, ugly and fun about the music, too.  It may be born out of the burgeoning avant-electro scene,  noisy and challenging in parts, but as a whole, Doddodo music is strangely accessible, cutting up and perverting a preposterous array of beats including short drops of the severest hip-hop to ....what's this - some kind of Irish folk dancing?!  Served on a slice of lightly toasted gabba (you have to hear it to believe it). Doddodo treats the wide world of beats as his (her?) sweet shop, distractedly plucking handfuls of them out of the air and serving them together like a pretend tea party.  No sonic fillers: each track on this album has a beat (or ten) and a whole bunch of excursions into unexpected sounds. Muttering gremlins, stomping old-school grooves, awkward analogue solos, wriggling computer game sprites, noisy squelches, lots of shifting tangents: great attention to detail, and it all comes together with surprising coherence. Someone passing (during a calmer moment) just said, ooh, bit Lemon Jelly. Yeah, a lemon jelly embedded with lots of small, illegal yellow plastic toys.   www.adaadat.com

ALSO CHECK OUT

DEADSTAR ASSEMBLY - Unsaved (A Label) - Lurking industrial blacker-than-black lipstick meets spiky red hair horror-goth-pop freakshow fashion parade from deepest darkest South (of heaven) Florida. Slicker than slick crunching industrial bleeped up synth‘n sample metal. A passing goth girl in big black boots said something about them being hot or hot topic or something like that - sounds like a great big MTV glossy metal thing with all the required razorblade vocals and issue-laden therapeutic lyricism, they’ll more than please the Poison The Well/Static X/Slipknot fans out there...  They do their thing raher well - www.deadstar.com

AD AAD AT
compilation: Trade And Distribution Almanac Volume 3
Completely, cheerfully mad, utterly cutting edge electronica in handy compilation form. AdAadAt deliver the gibbering goods again with the third in their hugely entertaining and often very noisy Trade And Distribution Almanac compilation series.  These are the children of Squarepusher, Aphex Twin and the games arcade, the droning light fitting and the skipping CD player: this is the folk music of our time. And it sounds like birthday cards that play a tune when you open them, but more hardcore.  Featuring miniature masterpieces from Ove Naxx, Doddodo, and more, with special mentions to Miklos 'The Accountant' Kemecsi for 'Squirrel Staring At A Beetle' (which sounds EXACTLY like a squirrel staring at a beetle), and to Silverlink and Drunk Girls (which sounds EXACTLY like a Saturday night journey on a Night Bus, particularly that rammed N18 from Piccadilly last week complete with audience-hungry rapper and barfing ladies).  From DJ Scotch Egg, the live Scotch Egg/Hrvatski noisefight at the ICA that will cleanse your flat of rodents, or indeed your street of neighbours at the appropriate volume, and a slightly more melodic, low-pass filter knobtwisting bootleggy battle with Duracell. Doddodo supply the Country element, fused illegally to some deeply odd dubby beats.  Both Acrynym and Yoko Oh No! come up with a charming bit of pure, Amiga game-soundtrack electronic weirdness with a surprising amount going on in it, as does Horatio Pollard with what starts off as the sounds of Bognor Regis Pier Arcade in 1981(Gorf, Phoenix, Defender etc) and slowly resolves into... A Whiter Shade Of Pale. Kind of. Or to put the above another way: another dose from AdAadAt of extreme uninhibited creativity with electronics, and its kind of life-affirming and fun.
www.adaadat.com

ROBIN GUTHRIE – Continental (Rocket Girl) – Oh we’re certainly looking down at our new black boots in a positively dreamy way now. This is exactly how you’d expect an instrumental solo album from the former Cocteau Twins guitarist to sound. Absorbing, hazy, beautifully sculpted fluffy cloudscapes and waterfalls and graceful gliding and refreshing and back it comes around and shoegazing is definitely the new black again now. An album that floats and lifts and washed and if you love those Cocteau Twins than this will keep you more than happy. If you’re not sure who Cocteuu Twins were then think an even more lush and floaty and equally uplifting Sigor Ros set of instrumental moods. www.robinguthrie.net

BANG! BANG! – Decked Out (Morphius) – They come from Chicago, they call it Sex Rock (can you do that when you’re a band named after a B.A Robinson song?). Sounds like sucking lollipops on pogo sticks – oh naughty lyrics. Infectious and jerky and girl-singer pop rock Devo bounce and a nervous tick and oh Mickey you’re so fine, your so fine you’ve blown my mind and my blood runs cold, my angel is a centrefold and there goes more bounce and spring and pop pop pop will eat itself and Hot Hot Heat Yeah Yeah Yeah and here comes the moneyshot and some Gun Club and bounce bounce with an arty Chicago/Devo edge - whip it, whip it real good (full stop here now please). www.morphius.com

FEU THERESE - Ferrari En Feu (Constellation) - Once you get past the tolerance test of the first two and a half minutes of the first number - ultra-high-pitched synthfight causing dogs to howl and cats' ears to flip back - you get some Can-style pleasant Krautrockyness. Further instrumental explorations carry on with that kind of hypnotic driving feel, developing psychedelic urges and drumming along Saucerful Of Secrets lines, or the first White Noise album. Based in Montreal, Feu Therese are steered by Jonathan Parant, guitarist of Fly Pan Am. Five long explorative tracks, occasionally with mellow and kind of catchy French vocals. Feu Therese are hard to pin down - half of what they do is accessible, warm, even poppy; half is pretty out there, and the borders blur.  Ferrari En Feu is a blend of laid-back, casually imaginative, loosely psychedelic Gallic charm and the semi-improvised, long soundscape approach of A Silver Mt Zion.  Available from www.cstrecords.com

CERBERUS SHOAL - The Land We All Believe In (Monotreme) 
This is an exceptionally strange album. If David Lynch joined Dresden Dolls, they might have someone to compare to.  Hmm, lazy reviewing - try again!  An archaic, proper sea shanty sung in an invented language, a language that could be the Zargon spoken by Vagabond-outcasts and escaped slaves of the 16th century... Propelled by an accordion that snarls rather than wheezes, sounding like a scurvy-ridden tall ship limping into harbour in the 1800s and they include Goya and Bosch on the thank you list... Sometimes Sparks, Danielson Family, sometimes Tom Waits, sometimes Foetus comes to mind, but maybe they have more in common with Angel's Egg period Gong - hugely imaginative, riddled with strange and varied sound, slightly Gallic, sometimes rather sinister, but often reveling in soaring west coast style harmonies.. long songs that descend from breezy female harmony vocals into ranting carnival madness: that incredibly twisted and rather obscure sixties psyche folk rock outfit, Comus, comes close (OK, not as evil as Comus). It's music grown by a seven-piece collective based in Steven King's actual and imaginative stomping-ground of Portland, Maine, a part of America that seems to have a weirdness and depth all its own. Cerberus Shoal lyrics are lightly threaded with allusions to contemporary politics, rather than being lost entirely in their own world. The Land We All Believe In is (sorry to be cliched) another one that grows on you slowly, but grow it does. Equally strange, mysterious and homespun, the artwork reflects the music perfectly: surreal, hand-drawn, full of their own symbolism. The most alt of alt-folk.  www.monotremerecords.com or www.cerberusshoal.com

HERESY – Face Up To It! (Boss Tuneage) – One of the UK’s most significant hardcore punk bands from that golden DIY hardcore zine/tape trading/flyer swapping age that was the badly photocopied mid/late 80’s. Second in a trilogy of Heresy re-mastered (by the band) re-issued collections. This CD is their only album (from 88) and comes with eleven bonus tracks (on the CD version). Re-mastered so it sounds 100% better (still that raw blasting thrashing crust punk DIY defiance that some have forgotten – this originally emerged on the then fledgling Earache label) than the very raw messy thing it was back there. Extensive sleeve notes and let me get out of here before I start another unneeded rant about the current state of something or other – www.bosstuneage.com

GO SPIDERMUM - A gang of anarchist Robin Hood-style thieves, who dress as superheroes (we like Spidermum best) and steal expensive food from exclusive restaurants and shops to give to the poor, are being hunted by police in the German city of Hamburg.  The Hamburglars (not sponsored by McDonald's) take delight in injecting humour into their raids, which rely on sheer numbers and the confusion caused by their presence. After they plundered beef fillets, champagne and smoked salmon from one gourmet store, they presented the cashier with a bouquet of flowers before making their getaway.

In another recent swoop, the gang emptied a groaning buffet table in a top restaurant into sacks, while one of their number held up a sign saying. "The fat years are over" - the title of a hit film currently doing the rounds in Germany.

A police spokesman said: "They get off feeling they are just like Robin Hood. There are about 30 in the group but whatever their motives, they are thieves, plain and simple." In Internet statements, the gang have made a point of saying their booty is distributed to the poorest of Germany's long-term unemployed.

Police say they are concentrating their investigation on a loose collective of anarchists and malcontents called "Hamburg in Vain", to which they believe the superheroes belong.

The gang are also behind black market cinema tickets which they distribute free to the poor, and they have printed leaflets telling passengers how to dodge ticket inspectors on the city's underground and buses.
