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

PLEASE REPOST, 
PLEASE RESEARCH THIS, 
PLEASE START TALKING ABOUT THIS!

“I began Whirlwind Coalition a few weeks ago because there's so much to be done getting the message out about the 9-11 syndrome. A really good friend of mine, George Tabb, NYC writer and musician is very sick because of the cover-ups of The Environmental Protection Agency and The U.S. Government. The health of MANY people are at stake here in New York and those in positions of authority are refusing to take responsibility in providing financial assistance to any of them. George is just one of many who are getting sicker and sicker. Everybody was upset over 9-11!  Shouldn't we also be ragingly upset about the unsung aftermath? This should be front page news! The mainstream media in the U.S. is not interested, or is too scared or too controlled to touch this. Connecting through the internet and getting information out there about this issue feels like the last resort at the moment. I'm not the only one on the web talking about this. Researched information from highly credible people is becoming more and more available as time goes on in this underground called cyberspace. The more people who talk about this above ground, and, who want to roll up their sleeves and do something about it the sooner we can fix things. I myself am here because I want to save my own friend's health from being swept under the rug. I can't even think of anything else right now. If a close friend of yours were in the same situation I'm sure you too would feel like moving heaven and earth for them. That's exactly what I'm doing”

No we’ve been reading about George Tabb quite a lot in the last few weeks as the punk rock family swings in behind him (the bit above is cut and past from a mail that came our way via Skinned Alive from Oakland). George is an old school NY punk (and a bit of a legend) from the glory days of the Ramones and the late 70’s CBGBs scene, and regualar contributor to Maximum Rock n'Roll zine toooo. I was vaguely aware of him so curiously had me click on the Help George Tabb links to find out more and find out what was up. Seems George lived very close to the twin towers, indeed he lost everything besides his life in the attacks – the remains of his possessions are now in a New Jersey landfill – now it seems like he’s losing his life. Along with lots of NY cops, fire fighters, health workers and the people like George who lived in the immediate area, George (age 44) is dying from all the poisonous asbestos filled dust clouds he was breathing in for weeks (months, couple or more years now) afterwards – and America doesn’t look after it’s under classes too well, no real health cover for those who can’t pay. Seems those in control in the USA would rather this all be quietly swept away, they’d rather not admit people are suffering and the money isn’t available to pay for the health care of ordinary people like George. Now this isn’t about the politics, this isn’t about who was right and wrong and did America bring this on and is the war is wrong and all those other arguments – no, this is simply about someone from the punk rock family/street/whatever needing some help from the rest of us. Talk about it, go check it out, go to the website, then play benefit gigs, don’t drink that pint tonight, send the money to George instead, seems he could use the money (and some of your energy) a little more than you right now – go find out and maybe help a face from the underground punk family out... Hang in there George.

DEMO OF THE WEEK
Ah it's all in the latest print version..... pages and pages and pages...

ALSO CHECK OUT
...and pages and pages
 

Last week's demo of the week - INNER RAGE

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

ALBUM OF THE WEEK 
THE DEATH SET – To (Rabbitfoot) – They’re originally from Australia, this (so it seems) is their U.S debut, seven track mini album of scuzzy DIY fuzzy spiky lo-fi new wave analogue drum-box driven pop that comes over like a few more welcoming Bis. High speed boingo-boingo pop art tantrums and lots of attitude (and bratty girl/boy voices) that they know they’re easily good enough to get away with. Aggressively sweet, like sucking delicious boiled sweets and expecting the bits of glass – for fans of Lightning Bolt, Deerhoof and the Dub Narcotic Sound System. www.deathset.com

ALSO CHECK OUT
ME (AGAINST THE WORLD) – I.D.S.T (Casket) - Heavy-edged infectious punky/grungy pop metal/rock that mixes up quite a few ingredients to come up with something just a little bit different. Kind of Three Colours Red flavour/energy. www.meagainsttheworld.com

FOREST GIANTS – Welcome To The Mid West (Cherryade) – Fuzzy 80’s sounding alternative indie pop postcards (from Bristol). www.forestgiants.co.uk.

THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING – Storyboard (Resonant) – Warm delicate graceful soothing minimal post-rock instrumentals that have all the time in the world and a little more besides to slowly build up or unwind or progress or just stretch out and tingle. Slow building simple minimal guitar led pieces – inventive gentle percussion, drums, typewriter keys, metallophone, mandolin. Like a relaxed economical Explosions in The Sky with extra crafter bliss in the restraint of it all. The musical equivalent to jut sitting enjoying the delight of almost next to nothing – sitting on the edge of a pond without needing that fishing rod for an excuse. They’re a three piece from Australia who seen to draw the Tortoise comparison rather a lot – Tortoise are rather boring though, this is a delight – a sunny day in a library kind of delight. Widescreen and epic and just right, www.thisisyiurcaptainspeaking.info   / www.resonantlabel.com

PSEUDO EXISTORS – Stamp Out Normality (Overground) – One of those beautifully messy minor punk rock legends who grabbed their fifteen minutes of fame and then just as quickly disappeared. Oh there’s been a million of them – Pin Ups, Gog Magog, No One, Alternative Attack, Xerox Girls, Period Pains, Ring (we could go on and on and on and on and on and on...). The Pseudo Existors formed in Lincoln in 1978 (and fell apart in 79) and these days their releases sell for silly money on Ebay. Belligerently raw who gives an f proper messy punk rock that’s shouty 77 punk meets proto heavy metal. A whole load of single tracks, live bits, things from compilations - nineteen tracks that really won’t mean much unless you already know about them – www.overgroundrecords.co.uk

KEPLER – Attic Salt (Resonant) – Breezy Canadian slocore alt/post-rock songs from a Wilco flavoured band good enough to have been invited to guest on a GodspeedYBE UK tour a couple of years back. They recently lost multi instrumentalist Jeremy Gara to “band of the moment” Arcade Fire, not before this rather fine rather downbeat album was completed though.  Just joyously good and sunny and very very mellow and emotive and just really nice in the most positive of ways. www.resonancelabel.com

MADDER MORTEM – Desiderata (Peaceville) - Fourth album and more of that completely over the top gothic (proper gothic – pointed towers, magpies in ornate collars and not just black eyeliner goth rock) drama and big riffing metallic pomp rock. Nothing is subtle, and as progressive metal goes this blows away pretty much everyone. Powerful vocals, operatic, pompous, dramatic and so over the top that we fell over the other side somewhere around track three and M For Malice. Evanescence with ten times more imagination and drama...

INVADE – Invade – Self released album of nailed down hardcore delivered with the right attitude, straight out of Long island New York, Classic hardcore subjects – life and the politics there of. A brutal relentless NY hardcore metal sound (nothing too metal, just a serious barrage of very heavy riffs pushing those bruising vocals). One for you Knuckledust, Decimate, Hatebreed (I nearly typed Hatebread then – what a great name for a hardcore band that would be, they could get a whole thing about eating your vitriol between two slices going, get jon The Baker in). Just when you think you have Invade’s sound worked out they throw out a rather fine curveball with the interlude that leads into their finest moment and the very colourful Pawn To Bishop, Then To King. Fine fine hardcore, fine fine attitude "there is no copyright on this, reproduce it at will. We are here to spread music and ideas, not make money" - www.myspace.com/invade

DECIMATE – 11 Rounds (Copro) – UK Hardcore with a brutal metal edge, first full album (on the heels of that mini album on Blackfish and various other bits and pieces). The highly respected crew have more than paid their dues and earned their scene stripes. Eleven solid hardcore metal slices that do just what you need them to do – no messing, no frills, they’ve been delivering since their early demo days (that seem like so long ago now), they’ve delivered again - recommended, what more do you need from us? www.decimateuk.com
