#211 > JUNE 28th 2007 - new issue on line every Thursday afternoon |
|
| Organ
is about the things we encounter each week, simple as that... |
What
was it? He had no idea. There is only one way to rock. Is television where
you still get you information? Oh, wrong page, wrong conspiracy, this thing
will not blow over, contact and switch the other, we’re done with under
cover and I still need to know who the creature in the red dress was, if
you could rely the message that would be good. Organ is about the things
we encounter each week, the things we feel are worth you time, effort and
mouse manipulation and I’m sure we don’t need to keep explaining ourselves
and it is indeed your **** on which we feed, or your fate or your date
or the late arrival of your train. Time to make a switch or write another
introduction editorial and I can’t wait for that smoking ban to kick in
and hair won’t stink anymore and neither will my shirt and neither will
my eyes and grand theories bearing no relation to reality or Marxism or
no-fault auto insurance or the fate of the people involved or a holiday
in hell and one night stands and itchy feet and no limit set upon your
mind learning ways of men or mice. Tim Tim Tim, sorry Tim.... and she lost
her patience and it was all my fault. |
IS THIS WHY YOU BOOKMARKED ME? |

HARRY
SMITH ANTHOLOGY REMIXED (featuring visual work by :zoviet*france:)
The alt.gallery launch exhibition,
Harry Smith Anthology Remixed, brings together the work of 84 artists and
musicians, who have been invited to make a visual artwork in response to
one track each from the groundbreaking music release the Anthology of American
Folk Music. The Anthology was edited by seminal New York artist, musicologist
and experimental film maker Harry Smith, and first published by Folkways
in 1952.
The Anthology is comprised
entirely of recordings issued between 1927 and 1932. Harry Smith used the
new LP technology to create an unbroken sequence of songs, divided into
three colour coded sets, which represented three elements: air, fire and
water. The Anthology is considered to be one of the most important collections
of information in modern society, and has contributed to numerous folk
revival movements.
This exhibition aims to create
a new visual collection of the Anthology, as seen through the eyes of contemporary
visual artists and musicians. It includes artists from Europe, Japan and
the USA, reflecting a diverse range of practice including visual art, outsider
art, comic book, design and illustration.
The exhibition includes work
by: Dave Allen, Jonathan Allen, Diane Barcelowsky, Marcia Bassett, Eric
Beltz, Hisham Bharoocha, Jesse Bransford, Vashti Bunyan, Jelle Crama, Jaron
Childs, Rob Churm, Marcus Coates, Karen Constance, Christian Cummings,

CRAP
ARREST OF THE WEEK
For robbin' the rich... Whilst
SchNEWS doesn't generally have a very high opinion of bank managers, in
the small town of Tauberfranken, Germany, one example of the species, Peter
Taubinger, has broken the mould. Clearly overwhelmed by the sheer scale
of the bank-induced social injustice all around him, he set about taking
direct action by nicking £1.5 million quid from rich customers' accounts
- and started redistributing it into the overdrafts of more deserving punters
like single mothers, pensioners, and those unable to work due to ill health!
It's no good playing Robin
Hood if you grass yourself up though and it all came to an end after Pete
turned himself in, realising he couldn't hide what he'd done. Receiving
a 34 month jail sentence he has at least set a tremendous example to banks
and their bands of merrymen everywhere!

man pat, hardcore, indie, alternative, pronk, whatever..... music and creativity

for the average, only the most exciting - we're very very selective, when
we tell you it's goood then it really is goooooooood
DEMO
OF THE WEEK
ONSEGEN
ENSEMBLE – Hottoizzoh (Hell Fi) – Now this is rather special, flowing old
school proper prog (none of this neo wimp-out politeness). Prog with a
driving heart and an undercurrent of locked on fusion. Warm, organic, analogue
flavoured and sounding like a long lost treasure from1973 (yes that good!).
Three tracks, two throbbing pulsing instrumentals and a middle track sung
warmly in what I guess is Finnish by the feminine voice of Alisa Saila.
Think King Crimson, Jazzy Gong, Acid Mother Temple and even Magma... A
surging space-jazz flavoured art/prog rock set of treats. A whole roller-coaster
ride of glorious progressive colour from deepest Finland, excellent – www.myspace.com/onsegen
ALSO
CHECK OUT
SEA
ON FIRE – Ambitiously epic sounding restrained dramatic smouldering
big-rock of a healthy left-field Soundgarden/Smashing Pumpkins nature.
A new London based band fronted by a man called David, the one time voice
of Tense (and before that Pipedream). Four dark moody slightly psychedelic
tracks that you can investigate over at www.myspace.com/seaonfirebandsite

'NEW
ALBUMS WE’RE LISTENING TO THIS WEEK |
This
week we’ve been listening to...
ALBUM
OF THE WEEK
TWO BANDS AND A LEGEND –
Featuring Cato Salsa Experience and The Thing (Smalltown Superjazz) – Now
if you’ve been paying full attention you’ll know we’ve been playing the
hell out of this FM radio friendly set of easy listing treats on our easy
on the ear Resonance FM show. This is indeed the shit my friends – this
is the shit! Messed up feedback-drenched free-form blues and garage-noise.
Jazz as violence - insane horns and honking sax, intense guitar, ridiculously
tight bass and drums - this rocks the fuggin! fuck right the f out – there
is no other option that the option of profanity with this beautifully glorious
noise fest of an album. Some kind of meeting involving two rather out there
bands – The Thing and Cato Salsa Experience – the filthiest sax sound this
side of a fuzzed out Van Der Graaf Generator walking barefoot over hot
coals and broken lighthouse keepers glass. An insanely raw version of PJ
Harvey’s What The Fuck that renders the original (almost) redundant.
An album that sees the perfect pairing and blending of the dirty 60’s flavoured
free jazz of The Thing and the raw progressive garage rock of Cato Salsa
Experience – recorded pretty much live in one insane take. Their preposterously
avant version of Louie Louie has to be heard to be believed, especially
the remarkable way they return half way through the jam to the original
riff, check the way it bleeds out of the speakers - and check
Thursdon Moore’s sleeve notes, we are not alone in declaring this a garage-jazz-noise
masterpiece. “Is this superjazz? Yyyyyyyesssssssss!!!” said Thurston,
YEEEEEEEEESSSSS say us!! – What the F?! The glorious art of noise - www.smalltownsuperjazz.com
ALBUM
OF THE WEEK 2
ANEKDOTEN – A Time Of Day
(Virta) - Sweden’s Anekdoten have always been kind of out there on
their own - launching deep in to the great unknown, space and time passing
by, swallowed whole by the starless (and bible black) sky. Embraced by
the real proghead underground simply because they’re happy to embrace all
that is good about classic seventies prog rock. Previous albums have been
glorious in a very King Crimson/Van Der Graaf way, Anekdoten are now taking
those elements to places very much of their own making. Anekdoten are now
rewardingly different. Powered by the heavenly glow of those gloriously
gentle Mellotrons (yes plural, they have two of the wonderous beasts -
double the aaaaaaahhhhhhh). A sound that gently reverberates in a rich
restrained Van Der Graaf Generator meets Can manner - golden, restrained,
something warm and beautiful, a rich sounds you can almost reach out in
to the air and touch. Folky at times, very psychedelic (never obvious though),
a hint or two the mellow restrained quiet side of Led Zeppelin, flavours
of Caravan, Soft Machine. Eight fine compact (compact in terms of
prog rock anyway) tracks, turn that key in the door, it has been a long
time coming, Anekdoten do things their own way. Glorious ambitious Seventies
flavoured prog rock that has an almost alt-rock undercurrent – early REM,
The Church, the more refined shoegaizer bands – Chapterhouse, Cocteau Twins,
Slowdive. Anekdoten are a special band, A Time of Day retains all the goodness
of their previous releases, far less obvious now, far more refined, their
finest album so far. Glorious grandiose (proper) prog rock. www.anekdoten.se
ALSO
CHECK OUT
DJ
MAYONNAISE – Still Alive (Anticon) – “File under beat driven electronica”
says the accompanying piece of paper, “for fans of Fourtet, Alias, Tortoise,
Sneaker Pimps, Sage Francis, Boards Of Canada...” Yeah, that’s the
short version, all we need to tell you now is that it has some X factor,
that finger print of unique identity and comes rather highly recommended
– I mean you know Anticon always deliver right? Just save yourself time
and buy everything they ever release. You want more? Oh come on...
DJ Mayo has returned with a fine follow up to 55 Stories – the sublime
master of the mellow sample and the left field beat is back with more intelligent
inspiring composition and refined musical collage – alive with subtle
details and glowing with quiet restrained mellow rainy-day beauty (yes,
it is a rainy day again). Warm easy on the ear trip-hop-ish electo mind-massage,
instrumental electronic pop occasionally laced with clever spoken word
sound bites and subtle hip-hop interludes. Atmospheric, jazzy, perfectly
American, refreshing, relaxing and just right. Recommended – hit the links
and discover for yourselves, so much good music around if you go look for
it – www.anticon.com / www.myspace.com/djmayonnaise
DEKAPITATOR
– The Storm Before The Calm (Relapse) – With a name like that you just
know they’re either going to be brilliant or utterly dreadful don’t you!
Dekapitator are a classic Bay Area thrash metal throwback – (early) Metallica,
(early) Exodus, (early) Anthrax, (early) Testament, bit of a punky edge
to it, regulation death grunt that you knew was coming, speed metal guitar
solo delivered with attitude – yes! Death Strike Command! Death to false
metal, FOAD, wooooaaggghhhhhhhhhh, metal up your ass, Rip crunching metal,
massive devastation, kiss your ass goodbye! You knew they’d have to be
good to pull off having a name like that! A whole pile of shit, blood and
bones – proper thrash metal! “Dekapitator started as an idea between Matt
Hellfiend, Dan Bulldoze and Andy Maniac, their vinyl collections growing
alongside their distaste for modern metal...”. With a name like that you
just know they’re either going to be brilliant or utterly dreadful didn’t
you! - www.myspace.com/dekapitator
or www.dekapitator.com
BEATNIK
FILMSTARS – Sheneniganism – Tape Hiss & Other Imperfection (International
lo-fi Underground) – New album, limited edition of 500 all in hand drawn
CD sleeves, more importantly though, new material from the respected cult
English alternative pop band from Bristol. Back in full swing now then
and although they’ve been around for years and years (and years), still
it seems a well kept secret. Hey look, a band good enough to be invited
back to record sessions on no less than five occasions by John Peel, a
band who’ve been called the English Guided By Voices, a band who should
be right up there in terms of respect with The Fall and The Wedding Present
9they certainly are in our book). Lo-Fi, not that lo-fi means low quality,
lo-fi recording aesthetic, high quality control (despite their self effacing
hand written put-down notes). Infectious lo-fi brit pop (real brit pop,
not some Kinks/Beatles rinky-dinky re-hash) laced with Casiotone-like details
and bright-light fizzing noise, laces with little trumpet details and most
importantly real songs. Clever songs, simple songs put aside for the likes
of you. There’s no one quite like these Beatnik Filmstars, this time around
they seem a little more relaxed, they’ve taking a few days off from all
that raging against the music machine and the attack of the clones. Triumphantly
good English lo-fi pop, are the Beatnik Filmstars finally enjoying themselves?
www.beatnikfilmstars.co.uk
/ www.myspace.com/internationallofiunderground
MIDNIGHT
CONFIGURATION – Parallel Worlds (Nightbreed) – Pulsing darkwave elctrogoth
darkness - pounding blackness and another album from the respected underground
cult English band. Sinister slabs of sheet metal and underhand seduction
for those who like it on the darkest black side of life. The goths and
electro darkwave creatures will be more than happy – www.churchofnightbreed.com
PIG
DESTROYER – Phantom Limb (Relapse) – Boiled-down no messing stripped right
to the bone extreme metal intensity. Stark, violent relentless pummelling
thrash and grind – no interest in being clever or different, just straight
in your face and never getting out again, you’ll crack before they do –
violent human animal music. www.myspace.com/therealpigdestroyer
3 INCHES
OF BLOOD – Fire Up The Blades (Roadrunner) – Fresh line up, fear not though,
the aesthetic is still the same, this is M-E-T-A-L! The Canadians are on
top top screaming pounding old school sword waving Ravenesque form. Harmonised
Maiden style guitars and all proper Manowar, Maiden, Anvil style top quality
metal. www.3inchesofblood.com
MONSTERWORKS
–Spacial Operations - Some kind of ambitiously overblown relentlessly
intense progressive metal concept album – hystrionic vocals and screaming
solos lace with bombastic melody and throwing the kitchen sink right at
your head. Hey look, I can’t stand Queensryche (got trapped at one their
gigs once, it was a tedious hellfiend of a boring night that i thought
would never end). Trivium surely must be a comedy act and Dragonforce too
silly to actually be funny. Monsterworks and their stew and slew
of screaming technical-thrash and screaming guitar progressive metal are
not my thing, they have to be admired though, defiantly ploughing
their own furrow and doing their chosen thing, it has to be said, really
rather impressively well (just because I don’t like it doesn’t mean I can’t
be respectfully impressed by it now does it). And they’re given the album
away free, go explore the website to find out more – they do their thing
very very well. Catch Monsterworks at the born again all new Intrepid Fox
in central London on Thursday July 8th (St Giles Street, just down the
end of Denmark Street, over the road from the Astoria). More from www.supermetal.net

SINGLE
OF THE WEEK
FRAN RODGERS – I fell To
You Under Winter Sun (On The Bone) – warm delicate restrained sublime mellow
heart-warming gorgeously emotional delicate folk favoured half English/half
French chanteuse Fran Rodgers with a Sandy Denny/Nick Drake flavoured three
track debut solo single. Simple, glowing, beautiful, timeless, strong,
angelic, enticing, seductive... perfect. www.franrodgers.co.uk
/ www.onthebonerecords.com
ALSO
CHECK OUT
DDD –Trojan Horse (White
Heat) – Some kind of rushing stabbing new wave-ish elcctro-lashing frantic
staccato thing for the Franz fans who like it a little edgy. Kind of thundering
yet pin-point precise and laced with a certain paranoia and we’re left
with the impression that they’d like to think they’re a lot more musically
radical than they really are – not bad. www.whiteheatrecords.com

OF THE WEEK |
Ah...

MEDIA, VIDEO, PRINT AND.... A |
DVD: SAMMY AND THE WABOS – LIVING IT UP IN ST.LOUIS (Cabowabo) – Now it
probably isn’t too cool to come right out and admit in public that you
actually like Sammy Hagar – Sammy Hagar is cool! There, I’m out and proud,
the red man rocks! OK, so we don’t want to look too closely at the
dubious Nugentesque politics and we’ll quietly brush over the Van Halen
years and pretend they didn’t actually happen. The idea of Van Halen without
Dave Lee Roth was just stupid and Sammy Hagar always did have the better
back catalogue. Sammy Hagar singing Jump or Space Station Number Five?
No contest! Ah yes, the Red Rocker was always wasted in Van Halen. Why
is he called the Red Rocker anyway? Closet commie? Nah, Sammy is the original
all American rocker, no witch hunt needed here. In terms of classic American
hard rock has there ever been anyone better? And has there been a better
live rock album that Loud And Clear? OK, so everyone else around
here is moaning like hell about my constant playing of this “dumbass no
brain American radio rock bullshit”. Heathens! Have they not heard Montrose?
Sammy Hagar always has rocked!
Let’s cut to the chase
here, and no obeying the speed limit either, no driving 55 around these
parts, it is after all just mental masturbation (what does that mean Sammy?).
Like we keep on saying, DVDs are for the already converted – and what the
already converted want to know here is, is the DVD actually any damn good?
I mean how many times have you been bored to death watching a dull DVD
of a band you like? Music is for listening not watching, most live DVDs
are boring. Hell yeah, this one rawks! Excellent actually. Well shot, well
edited – cuts that linger long enough for you to actually focus. Why do
so many live concerts look like they were edited by an epileptic gibbon,
quick, let’s have another cut, heaven forbid the viewer’s eyes should actually
have time to focus on an image. Clever viewer-freindly multi camera shoot,
filmed very well in an excellent outdoor area during a wonderful sunset
that looks like an extension of the very very colourful carnival style
stage set – confetti guns and giant tequila worms everyehere. Good band
he’s got together as well, great performance - we can almost forgive those
harmonies on One Way To Rock (almost! Those harmonies are so wrong, there
is only one way to sing One Way!). Turning Fight For Your Right in to an
AOR rock song is a remarkable achievement, alright so there’s a few old
classics missing, good set though. This is one big colourful Cabo party
of a rocking gig (audience are a little polite though, what’s going on
there?). Great live show, Sammy Hagar and his band on top form, loads of
extras – videos, interviews and such – actually I haven’t bothered with
the interviews – great gig, great band, there’s only one way to rock -

message to you bands, labels and anyone else with a blog or a My Space
page or a webzine or who are generally out there getting involved in a
positive way and spreading the word about fine music and creativity and
underground/alternative art that go bump in the night. This is how it works
around here; we’re perfectly happy for you to cut and paste our reviews
and put them on your band/label pages or where ever you want, please please
do go spread the word, that’s what this is about – the spreading of information.
We encourage you to do it (unless you’re involved in something that’s a
little unsavoury like one bunch of nasty little right wing scumbags we
had a run in with a few weeks ago), There’s no ego here, we’re not going
to come chasing you about copyright and all that crap. All we ask you to
do is credit the material and add links to our pages with anything you
want to use. Please feel free to use our words to spread the word, it’s
how it works – word word word it’s basic netiquette, it’s weblove and only
a massive ego-inflated no-mark would think any other way. Use our words,
we take it as a massive compliment – please do add the link though, please
