This thing will not blow over, Contact and switch the other...
Two hundred issues of Organ, who’d have thunk it? We’ll quietly admit we’re quite proud of that, never planed more than one issue, how the hell did we make to all the way to two hundred? Two hundred, damn! What are we still doing here? Two hundred Organs, a good body of them on paper (in one form or another), some on line (what a good invention the www is, you miss those soaped stamps and recycled envelopes something though don’t yer?), 200 Organs, that’s a hell of a lot of pages (a hell of a lot of typos, a hell of a lot of Pritt and paper cuts and deadlines and fights and rip-off printers and humping bags of the things to shops and gigs and people shouting the odds, and bullshit and wonder where all the holier than thou odds shouters got to and ungrateful bands and the occasional grateful band and elaborate practical jokes and ‘ello ‘ello ‘ello what’s all this then?).  Not all on-line or paper though, issue seven was screen-printed on a T-shirt, issue 14 was a cassette, issue 152 had those Liars on the front – no that’s a lie, they were on the front of 151. There was a thousand copies of issue nine, all in hand painted hand printed covers (with wood-cut block prints as well). We have no idea how many gigs we’ve put on during that time, I’m guessing something like a thousand - that’s a hell of lot of giving out flyers and drum sound checks, I hate drum sounds checks and remember the time it all kicked off at that Blaggers v Conflict gig we put on or the time that Melotron fell down the stairs and... 

Anti-Seen caused the best/worst Organ gig riot with their baseball bat swinging merch-man down the Falcon, that was frantic stressed-out fun and arrgghhh no, I’m getting distracted, no time, things to do, bullshit to bark at, we are sane and we are not to blame.  Two hundred Organs, that’s a hell of a lot of history, whatever happened to those Homage Freaks, no time for history.... 

No time for history, far more important things to be thinking about than some pain in the butt big-mouth know-it-all zine and history and still being here after all this time, whatever happened to the Pin-Ups? And Romo and the Tortoise Liberation Front and Tamarisk, no time, far more important things like the survival of George Tabb. 

Now George Tabb is important (and time is running out), George is important history. George is an old school zine guy, a punk rock do’er, one of the zine family from the scuzzy New York City undergrowth. George was/is a long time contributor to the ever-evolving world-wide zine network and in particular to Maximum Rock and Roll zine. George is a NY punk scene music maker, a rather good author. George is one the originals who stuck to his guns and walked it rather than just talked it. Thing is you see, this isn’t about the latest hairstyle or a generic musical pigeonhole or a load of old history. Zine making is a state of mind, an attitude, a way of life – a way of thinking, of doing things the right way, for the right reasons, about community and creativity and doing and being and involving rather than just consuming. 

George just happened to be living near those Twin Towers and made the all too human mistake of going to help a few people rather than getting the hell out of the city. He stayed and helped when those towers came crashing down with all their poison dust – he believed them when they said the air was alright and now the City and the US government are fucking George over. There’s no other way to describe it, they’re fucking George over. I try not to swear, it devalues our beautiful language – they’re fucking George over. Now let me just say  right here that today we're just concerened about George, we’re not concerned with the why and the where and the politics of those crashing towers and American foreign policy and bombs and fear, right now we’re concerned about one of our own who just happened to live in the wrong place at the wrong time. Thing is you see, if you choose to devote your life to zines and underground music and just trying to do things a different way and take a little bit of it back – the punk rock way if you will - if you chose to really walk it rather than just talk it, then you’re never going to get rich – well not in financial terms anyway – and when the going gets tough you look to your family to help you out a little. George needs a little help from the zine family right now - and from the underground networks, from the D.I.Y music making community, from the so-called punk bands and the labels who’ve benefited so much from the zine networks. George needs everyone shouting about his situation before there ain’t no George to shout about anymore. Time to shame the US authorities in to helping people like George, I mean, if that’s how they treat their own, how the hell do the expect they’re gonna treat the rest of the world? How can anyone trust them? Time to help one of our own out please - or 200 Organs stands for nothing and it was all a waste of time. Go find out more, go network, go blog, go fundraise, go get involved – contact and switch the other, go click on the picture of George please, doing that is more important than the latest band or who’s playing this week or some zine that should have been stopped ages. 
 
Right, enough ranting and reving and raving and shouting, here’s some more music and things for you to go explore, this week’s set of signposts and we're not in Kansas anymore and the flying monkeys and ...

IS THIS WHY YOU BOOKMARKED ME?
JAZKAMER will be playing this year’s Supersonic Festival at the Custard Factory, Birmingham which takes place on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th July - www.capsule.org.uk/supersonic

Jazkamer recent Metal Music Machine album (released on Smalltown Supernoise in 2006) caused quite a fuss around these parts, and you certainly enjoyed all the radio play. Here’s what others have said: “Scarily brilliant stuff “ (BBC Online), “Nordic noisemakers summon electronic-metal apocalypse “ (Mojo), “A seriously demented take on extreme metal.  Excellent.” (Rock-A-Rolla), “Noise and metal pioneers embark on a fission expedition” (Terrorizer), “Hagre and Marhaug aise a flagon of mead to the Nordic Black Metal Hordes. Bracing energy and an epic scope, from dense kick-drum frenzies to a  glacier speed homage to the sludge of Sunn0))) “ (Uncut),  “Playful interrogations of Metal’s formal properties and dynamics “ (The Wire). You don't need al lthose quotes though, we already told you. Go explore over at www.jazzkammer.com
 

THINGS TO GET SHOUTING  ABOUT? 
Didn't we already do that this week?

SCREAMERS 

The documentary film made with System Of A Down was shown in the UK TV on BBC4 tonight – 29th March 2007. It’s a documentary may actually change the world. 

Screamers is about genocide, and about people fighting to stop genocide: the screamers of the title.  Screamers explores past and present - yes, present, as in happening right now, today - atrocities in an unforced, moving and compelling way. Neither flashy, histrionic or condescending, the documentary works with complex and intelligent rock band System Of A Down. A band who are involved in the campaign to have the early 20th century mass slaying of the Armenian people recognised as genocide.  You'd think no-one in their right mind would oppose such a thing, but in Turkey you can be flung in jail for years for even suggesting that any Armenians died at all... Meanwhile, the American government fudges and shuffles around referring to the genocide going on in Darfur right now 'because if they admit it's genocide, they have to do something about it.'   System Of A Down are screamers because the musicians' Armenian families have huge holes where great grandmothers and fathers should be; the frail elderly relatives who survive tell of horrors no-one should have had to experience. 

Following them on tour across Europe, performances of songs threaded with Armenian traditional melody intersperse the recounting of inhumanities by campaigners and survivors.  We travel on the tour bus with them, meet fans in new cities: the rockumentary thing, but with the empty tour-excess antics and assholes replaced by people you'd feel deeply honoured to spend some time with. Watch Serj Tankian (lead singer) finally confront a great slimy toad of a White House politician, politely and graciously asking questions on camera that make the man go a most unhealthy bright red. 

Screamers may not be the most technically polished documentary, but the narrative flow is patient, involving and moving, carefully developing ideas, letting images and interviews speak for themselves. Its the kind of documentary we used to take for granted from the Beeb, too often now replaced by clip show pseudodocs and shallow repeat-the-obvious-every-two-minutes dumbing down.  The focus moves between the rock band/live performance world and such horrors as the Balkan conflict and the massacres in Rwanda in a way that, strangely, adds a sense of reality to the events, perhaps subconsciously reminding us that these things don't happen in some separate other world, only existing in a news report, but at part of anyone's life.  Rock bands as successful as System Of A Down have enormous power that unnoticed by your average meeja type and politician (thank god?).  When I was in school, it was the half-Polish geography teacher who angrily spent two lessons spelling out exactly what went on in the Holocaust; others were lucky enough to get into Crass and Conflict and the literature of the proper punk undergrounds... too many people today seem to think that we're so enlightened now, children just absorb this kind of knowledge out of thin air.  Meanwhile, far right bollocks of all kinds rampages across the globe, tut tut.  System Of A Down don't preach at their audience, they pass on the history and the facts and the images (and, through their music, the emotions).  Director Carla Garapedian shares the approach, taking shocking footage out of the archives and giving it to a generation that might not have seen any of it... certainly not the large contingent of Turkish SOAD fans, living in a country where the mildest discussion of what happened to hundreds of thousands of Armenians now provokes apoplectic rage and accusations of treason. In Screamers, not only the history is discussed, but the psychological reasons, political reasons, the perpetrators, the humanity of the victims, the similar wretched patterns across the globe. Most important of all, it shows the screamers: the decent, inspiring people speaking out, spreading reason and actually making a difference - which is why this is such an incredibly uplifting film, despite the glimpses of hell. Can a band make a difference? Can one documentary make a difference? Of course it can.

DRAGONS / NEIL’S CHILDREN @ Water Rats, Kings Cross, London 12/3/07

Battle of the retro bands tonight at the Water Rats. Neil’s Children could have been making their mark in some Glasgow nightclub circa 1981. Image-wise, they dress identically in black shirts with a vertical white stripe, and go for angular, sculpted hair and make-up; one of their fans had a T-shirt with a Bauhaus-inspired logo. It’s a co-ordinated look that works, and leads you to expect a dark, minimal, sparse sound. There was something of that in the opener, where everything was chorused to the max, but thereafter we discovered Neil’s Children’s dirty secret – they’re really peddlers of highly-infectious post-punk pop music. For all their posing, Neil’s Children write some mighty catchy tunes, classic skankin’ pop at times, with all the hooks in the right places. Sure, there’s a hint of arty angst and nods in the direction of PIL and early Simple Minds, nothing too heavy to spoil the party. They were undeniably accomplished, with the singer/guitarist displaying a likeable charisma and not at all as aloof as the image might suggest. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Dragons maintained the 1980s theme, but didn’t have nearly the verve or the songs of Neil’s Children. Sad to say, but this was a let down. The legend Francolini was as solid as ever behind the kit, but he could have played most of this set in his sleep. Dragons play fuzz-driven, synth-laden pop with resolutely adult themes, but the music doesn’t ignite. It’s a strangely one-dimensional sound given the range of influences that are brought to bear – at various times you were reminded of Joy Division, Numan, Depeche Mode and even Duran Duran. There is emotional depth by the fathom, but the lyrical themes and their heartfelt delivery seem a world apart from the actual music itself, they simply don’t reciprocate. Maybe it sounds better in the studio – the electronic ballad for the emotionally crushed was never designed for the stage, after all – but there’s little reward here for those seeking the epic, energy-rush of Levitation or the creativity of Dark Star.

'NEW ALBUMS WE’RE LISTENING TO THIS WEEK
ALBUM OF THE WEEK
HEY COLOSSUS – Project:Death (a whole gang of wholesome scenester labels, go look on the band’s site) – They say they set out to mix Can with Fudge Tunnel, they pretty much achieved that a couple of albums ago. These days they’re Can and Fudge Tunnel and big lumps of sludge and Godflesh and St.Vitus and a filthy mushy sound and lots of low-end big big big big riffs and shouting and mud and more sludge and pretty much recorded live in their London rehearsal studio and oozzz and deadly psychedelic head messing hard rock sonic violence and noise and claustrophobic and black flags and on and on it rumbles and rolls and steamrolling right at you hey, very colossus and colossus and another fine album and rumble and roooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaggghhhhhhhhhhhh bluuuuuuurrrrrrrgggggg sssssssswwwwwwwis dooooooooooooooooom booooooooooooooooob sluuuuuuuuudge. www.heycolossus.com

ALSO CHECK OUT
ROTTEN AGENDA – I Reject (self released) - Ranting punks and infected thoughts penetrating - waiting to prey on your mind. This is gloriously awful, awfully good. Messy DIY punk, sloppy playing, shouting and ranting in place of ‘proper’ singing. An overdose paranoia and gobbing on life and we’re all gonna die when the sky breathes fire and what you gonna do when the shit hits you?  They sound like a million ranting (almost) clued-up ready-for-a-ruck paranoid system-fighting anarcho activist crust-punk bands from the mid/late 80’s. Confronting everything - seen it on the TV news, never question government views. Track five is called Kicked In The Head, track two is Always Being Watched, those titles will give you more than a clue. Love it! Old school thrashy Civilised Society style DIY punk rock from Northampton (England), and a photocopied lyric sheet too - proper in'it. www.myspace.com/rottenagenda

MACHINE HEAD – The Blackening (Roadrunner) – Now you, him, her, or the duck on the canal over there don’t really need us scumbags using up valuable time and space telling you just how good the new Machine Head album. The Californian metalheads have their boats quite rightly all over the glossy establishment rock press as they climb to the highest peeks of the album charts with this monster of a metal album (that came out last Monday). A massively good, modern, aggressive, intelligent, ground-breaking metal album that probably is their finest set of moments yet, probably even better than Through The Ashes, yeap that impressive. They’re all over the mainstream media, they don’t need any thumbs up from us, they can have one anyway, the ducks love it, the black cat loves it, big thumbs up , see it can be intelligent without becoming bloated – are you watching Metallica? Recommended. 

DAVID BOWIE - The Best Of 1980/87 / Young Americans (EMI) – Couple of Bowie re-issue CDs with DVD extras and extra sleeve notes and blah blah blah just rolled in. Is it OK to say I always thought he was rather over-rated? Especially in the 80’s. www.davidbowie.com is where you go if you’re interested. Person who e.mails in the best reason why we should post these to them by next week can have ‘em. 

YELLOW 6 – Painted Sky (Resonant) – Restrained refined warm mellow wistful instrumental organic guitar landscapes (solo work of Leicestershire based guitarist Jon Attwood) embellished with background piano and subtle percussion. Quiet/quiet rather than the quiet/loud formula, kind of Labradford, Duritti Column flavoured and probably better described as inviting melancholic ambient relaxation than post-rock. Easy on the ear, mellow on the mind, challenging and warm. We rather like it, well worth your time (as, so it seems, are most things on the rather fine Resonant label) – www.resonantlabel.com

ELECTRALANE – No Shouts, No Calls (Too Pure) – Fourth, and probably most joyous album so far from the girls. That classic old-school indie Lo-fi sound that falls on the Sonic Youth side of Space Rock, those infectious organ melodies and harmonies. Probably their most diverse album to date, all very vibrant and happy and a lot more relaxed and jaunty and poppy (and dare I say C-86 flavoured) this time around. Out at the end of April - www.electrelane.com

REDJETSON / CATS AND CATS AND CATS / BUTTONHEAD: The Luminaire, Kilburn, London 14/3/07

This gig followed a heavy parents’ evening at school, being verbally assaulted by ungrateful professionals who earn your weekly wage in a morning. Little wonder that it ends up: yes, your daughter’s well on the way to Oxford, now can we conclude this pointless conversation so that I don’t miss the Cats? Fortunately help was at hand. My car-owning colleague Helen – who had also endured the frustration of parents with lazy post-pubescent offspring – decided to come along, so we drove to Kilburn and arrived in time for the openers. Buttonhead are essentially a folk-prog band, but young and confident enough to have a go at any number of different genres. The end result was a band focused on the style rather than the song, working their way through the templates of psych, classical, rock and indie without ever convincing with any of them. There was a lot of twee vocal harmonising without any discernible lyrical content, and some experimentation with time signatures. Occasionally they locked into a riff that exerted itself, but the songs rarely settled into anything like a conventional song structure. There’s nothing wrong with whimsy and eccentricity, but without a spine to keep it together it comes across as mere indulgence. Helen’s first conclusion didn’t get past our editorial policy. “Brave and experimental” did, but it’s a qualified recommendation.

We first saw Cats and Cats and Cats a while ago supporting Jeniferever, and it didn’t take us long to sniff them out as ones to watch, and sure enough, since then they’ve dropped an excellent first album, packed with exciting, uplifting math rock. They struggled tonight to reproduce that combination of depth and beauty, partly as they seem to have moved away from the longer post-rock passages in favour of more immediate material, with more vocals than you might expect. Encouraging to see them evolving their sound, but the vocals need working on, being too often out of tune and doing nothing to add to the overall texture of the song. But the Cats were, of course, as tight and inventive musically as we’ve come to expect, crafting some exquisite moments of full-on complex and melodic rock music – think Monsoon Bassoon without the dark edges. Perhaps not the finished article live yet, but you won’t be disappointed with the album. 

Redjetson have been slowly building a following for a few years now and have a full album to their credit along with a number of singles and EPs. They’re most commonly lumped in with the post-rock fraternity, but they’re evidently unsatisfied with merely ploughing a quiet/loud furrow. Redjetson bring the drama and weightiness of post-rock to their songs, but they take the trouble to write lyrics and aren’t afraid to tackle real issues, with songs like ‘Perseverance Works’ – an older number but one with enduring and unsettling resonance. The vocals are delivered with purpose but also with the minimum of fuss, allowing the lush and epic instrumentation to build unencumbered by histrionics. And what a sound Redjetson have developed – it’s a beautiful, pulsating thing that ebbs and flows through the venue. They can build to a fierce intensity without resorting to sheer noise – their ear for the melody is ever-present, through the louder moments as well as the quieter. They have absolute control of their sound, you never get the impression that anything is struggling to make itself heard. As the last track draws to a conclusion, the keyboard player dons a guitar and they launch into an all-out finale, producing a majestic final passage. Again, everything is under control, it’s not ear-splitting, just utterly powerful, which is a neat summation – Redjetson bring a more conventional song structure to the post-rock style, veering at times towards the epic widescreen rock of Oceansize, but they never overdo the kerrang. Blinding noise can bring an exhilarating catharsis, but Redjetson prefer a controlled passion, keeping their heads when others might prefer to lose them.

SINGLES
So we have three singles of the week this week, so what? We had a good week for singles and we don't mean on no hornymatch dot com either... Nah, hang on that was the other week, we just forgot to remove that bit about the tree singles and what with the insects and the ducks and the bad demo experiences and 

SINGLE OF THE WEEK

THE OOHLAS – Small Parts (So sweet) – Sugary sweet girl fronted indie pop with a bit of a Breeders/Pixies edge that might just cut your probing tongue. One of the slight geeky American boys takes the vocals for the second track, guess that makes them a duel vocal boy/girl alternative type indie pop band and we need to scrap this damn review and start all over again then – well no damn you! I damn well won’t damn well start again damnit, we are here to rebel against everything, rage against the machine and the flagpole sitter and I’ve started so I’ll finish. Infectious breezy American indie pop with depth to the clever construction – top quality Weezer, Veruca Salt, Joy Zipper kind of thing, you know what I mean don’t you – yes you damn well do! Oh hang on fact fiends, seems the geeky boy is one-time Everclear Greg Eklund, see if I read the damn press release rather than just mindlessly throwing on the CD and letting the music do the talking I’d sound like I knew what I was talking about. Wonderfully good for you intelligent alternative pop that never ever even hints at becoming shallow enough to just be the manufactured worthless throwaway thing that product pushers package as pop music is these days, have a nice time, check this out, they’re good – www.theoohlas.com

ALSO CHECK OUT

LUMINOUS FRENZY – Three Cliffs Bay (Freeport) Delicately feisty, wistful, iridescent, haunting creamy whispered vocals, textured ambience, caressing, dreamy, warm, clever production/construction - powerful, seductive, refined, defined.   Apparent inspired by the place of the same name – Three Cliffs Bay – and the landscapes of the beautiful Gower Peninsula in South Wales, sounds like it, really does. Singer Luminous captures the breathtaking in beauty in her voice, so much so that you never stop to wonder why they’re burying a body there or if you do, you’re sure it’s not with criminal intent – www.luminousfrenzy.com

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 tell people where you got it from and cut 'n paste away (like many others have already done), the more people who read about these bands and things the better don’t yer think? It’s the underground way.
