oooh, mercy. i've got one of those rather nice hangovers where everything is a little bit wonky, and i have nothing i really need to do so i'm quite enjoying it :) plus i had some proper coffee wot made me go a bit strange :S
my brother showed me the following on youtube, and i laughed so very hard i thought i might have needed some Tena Lady.
merry crimbles everyone, i'm having a gay old time swanning about my hometown being merry and drinking lovely cider.
i drank too much last night and now my teeth feel soft. whoops!
i'm getting in the festive mood this morning by listening to music really loud and singing (badly) - at this very moment in time my sister is listening to the mighty Take That, which is grand but that's not what i wanted to share with everyone.
what has been creeping into my psyche and becoming part of my brain is something quite different; a band called The Organ.
imagine if The Cure and The Smiths were one superband...and they were all girls. Haunting, tender, uplifting, sad, gorgeous, penetrating, ace ace ace. That's the only way i can describe The Organ.
the band are an all female fourpiece from Vancouver who, sadly, don't exist anymore. They released Grab That Gun in 2004 and broke up in 2006...(although they released an EP earlier on in the year, as a kind of goodbye)...
although there is a lack of back cat to get excited about and collect, and no new material to look forward to, this means that they will never get old, change/dilute their sound or go a bit crap. they are immortalised in this album.
i'll let you decide for yourself, but this band are my best. i bless Ben Parry for letting me know about this band. he said to me "you can live inside this album"...and i do.
arrrgh i can't choose which track to upload! they're all great - hmmm...
>...>>....>>...>>>..>>>>..>>>>>.>>>...>.......>>>..... - some people who follow The L Word might recognise "Brother"
The Organ - Brother
The Organ - Basement Band Song
i'm going to post a link to the whole album, as the record in it's entirety is magic...and the guys at Let's Share Music are doing a great thing by letting people download it.
