Idles, a band bow big enough that you feel they really don’t need our support any more, and good on ’em… “Note to editors: Please capitalise IDLES in any usage” Today, Idles, a band who insist on annoying capitalisation of their name, have announced their first live album ‘A Beautiful Thing: IDLES Live at Le…
We like the way things are done in terms of art and artists in Folkestone, it isn’t perfect but the way Folkestone’s Creative Quarter has worked with the town, the way the Folkestone Triennial has brought life to a fine old town rather than just imposing on a town in that way art so…
It’s good for you. We expected medicine to be good for us. Mostly… Sometimes an Organ Thing of the Day can just be a bite of some music and some good looking animation, I don’t know know too much about The Imebeciles, this is a song from the upcoming self-titled album, the link to their…
Throbbing Gristle, once of this East London manor of course, we walked past that black door on Beck Road only yesterday, the cross is still there, I;m guess the axe that hung inside has gone? We could hit their old studio with a well aimed paint bomb from my painting bunker here in East London,…
Monday morning, , if you want the Snik bit then cut to chase down there, we’re dealing with what’s of what we have in Monday morning’s in-box? Well there’s hundreds of ICYMI messages from art people and even more from music people and those who think they’re arty music people cluttering up the Organ in-box,…
“wow, that really is an us and them situation, the art world is so so so strange and so disparate, so far away from the people or the people making art..Those figures are shocking and also not shocking, but just argh, what the hell indeed, awful in a rather horrific look-at-the-state-of-the-world-we-are-in kind of way, and…

A rather quick Organ Thing of the Day today for there are places to be and paint to throw and pizza boxes to wrestle, here”s the lazy cut ‘n paste of the press release, there’s the video, I like that sound, don’t particularly like the video, do like this latest slice of music though, do…
And so the dust or whatever it was has settled, the vast vast (vast) white tent is probably down by now, the whole damn global art fair circus has already moved on, “oh darling, Frieze is so last week now”, the money has been counted or laundered or whatever it was all really about, the…
Organ Thing of The Day: “America F*ck is the product of living with toxic politics as the foreground; attempting to complete life’s menial tasks while filled with both rage and despair. ‘Fertility Clown’ calls upon the brash immediacy of 80s political punk, the swirling disembodiment of free jazz, shoegaze’s resonate escapism, and the grim despair…
Was it as opulent this time, was it as big a beast? The sign outside certainly wasn’t as big, no big shiny black mile-high towering sign overlooking everyone coming in this year, instead a more subdued green one, that sign says so much, things aren’t quite so bold in 2019. Is opulent the right word?…
Frieze week is here then, we’re back from the Seaside, we’ve just about recovered from the buzz of the latest Art Car Boot adventure in Margate, Frieze week is upon us, were getting bombarded with information and invites to press previews of this fair and that fair, the Other Art Fair, the British Art Fair,…
