#200 > MAR 29th 2007 - new issue on line every Thursday afternoon |
|
| 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 ... |

THINGS TO GET SHOUTING ABOUT? |
Didn't we already do that
this week?
John on the phone...... |
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 –
