In appreciation of the band The Organ

Chico

found found found
An expression of appreciation for the brilliant, young, and tragically now defunct band The Organ who in my opinion come close to achieving musical perfection several times on their album Grab That Gun.

I concur, although musical perfection is quite a claim. Saw them a few times before they split, which was a real shame. I recommend you getting their posthumous released EP 'Thieves'.
 
I love that album!!!!! I love the voice of the singer, the sound of guitars and drums!

Particularly this song, this is the closest I've seen in replication terms to a musical answer to the questions The Smiths asked. It's very beautiful. I've never heard them before.
 
I like the music. I bet a Morrissey cover would sound fantastic.

Let's start a poll... who here would like to see Morrissey cover the Organ?

I tried to listen to the clips in the first post of the thread, and couldn't finish any of 'em. Terrible, annoying songs, with hideously droning vocals and poor musicianship. And COMPLETELY un-sexy. I felt my penis wanting to shrivel up and die.

Glad to introduce them to you!

Yes, I would love to see that! Much better material for Morrissey than anything he's come out with in the last decade.

I was thinking most people here wouldn't want to see Morrissey cover the Organ. I'd think they'd prefer the opposite.

Every new song I listen to makes me want to write some lyrics, start a band and answer every song Morrissey's written, though I'm not sure I could do it as beautifully as she does. They are mesmerizing to watch.

Incidently, I wonder if the name of the band comes from the movie Carnival of Souls. In it the girl reunites a type of "spirit dance" as she plays The Organ. I know that metaphor can be used in a physical mundane way, but it's the music she plays that traps her own soul into dancing with them, it's an eerie good film the mood of which sort of reflects in the lyrics I'm hearing but haven't had a chance to really analyze.

The only person with a clue in this thread.

Some anonymous person in the tags claims I'm trying for attention. Attention from whom? We're down to about 6 regular readers of these threads.

But it puzzles me. Chico doesn't like Morrissey's music, at least not anything after "Bona Drag". Yet we're supposed to stand in awe of this really lame band, The Organ. Is it a joke I'm not getting? Is the joke over my head?

Anyway, someone needed to be negative to keep Chico's thread going. I'm doing charity work around here, keeping these threads going. If everyone had been trashing The Organ I'd probably have thought I should find something good about them. Kewpie drove most people away ages ago, and I'm trying to save the forum. Stop shitting on me in the tags, you trolls. I'm just a boy with a heart full of hate.

Just for the record, I had nothing to do with the tags and don't know who did.
