Can’t let the news pass without saying something today, sad to wake up to the news of Scott Walker’s passing this morning. What a singer, what a voice, what an artist, someone who went way beyond in terms of the art he constantly made and the way he challenged both himself and his audience. A…
A born again regular (unless it all falls off the edge of a cliff again) almost certainly weekly, or something like weekly, a weekly round up of recommended art events, shows exhibitions and things we rather think might be worth checking out, dates for you diary and such. Mostly London for that’s where we currently…
Whatever happened to the five art things thing? We’ll address things in a moment, for now a preview of something that looks like it may well be worth going along to… The Next Wave: The Power of Authenticity and Self-Validation is the name of a show that opens today, March 21st af Hoxton Arches, London…
Yulia Robinson is an exciting painter, something about the energy in the marks she makes, the colour she uses, the ambition in her paint, the spontaneity, her blowing and dripping, her bleaching, her multi-layered paintings that involve both figurative forms and an abstract language, Yulia’s paintings are rich in texture, alive with personality, with commitment,…
How much more ‘awkwind could it be? The answer is none, none more Hawkwind, Nik Turner’s latest album, laced with the magic of Simon House as well as Paul Rudolph and references your captain being dead as we fly on into even deeper space, from the first notes of Nik’s sax on Out of Control…
Stour Space, that rather pro-actively run artist-friendly space, art gallery, meeting place and more over there smack bang in the middle of all the changes, the social cleansing and destruction of Hackney Wick, are fund-raising. Right now it feels more important than ever that we should have art spaces and community places like Stour Space,…
Cats aside, on we go, nothing much to report from the art shows explored on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday then, what did Thursday have to offer? Well Freya Douglas-Morris had a show opening at the rather understated Lychee One gallery that quietly nestles over in the fast changing hinterlands between London Fields and Mare…

Pre-orders from Box Records come with an exclusive 10″x10″ print, numbered and signed by the amazingly…
So a random cat photo did actually attract more people to the site yesterday than an actual review usually does. We’ve actually been to art show openings every day of this actual week so far, like we actually keep on actually saying, we’re not going to waste our time writing about the openings that didn’t…
Organ Thing of The Day? Here’s a random picture of a cat instead. Someone said to me at an art show the other day, that the trouble with Organ is that “everything you write is always so f***ing positive!”, that we like every art show they we ever go to, a valid point I guess,…
Organ Thing of the Day, a couple of new albums from France, they’re doing things a little differently in France right now, here’s the new albums from Ni and Ultra Zook, meanwhile the new Poil album has just landed, stay tuned for that one, it might just be their best yet… NI – Pantophobie (Dur…
Danny Pockets painted some wonderfully evocative houses of the holy, music venues now lost, old cafés, shops, place that actually meant something to him, that meant something to lots of us, places we loved, The Marquee, The Astoria, beautiful places where people gathered and great things happened.
