[edit] Can You Tell Me
Does anyone know where the song "Can You Tell Me" came from? Mrwuggs 21:38, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
After emailing the band a copy of the song, I discovered that its correct title is "Can You Tell Me One Thing," and that it was a song recorded but not released "a couple years ago," assmumably during the Sinking Hearts sessions. Mrwuggs 22:52, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Does anyone have digetal copies of any of the Full Sketch stuff? It is impossible to find. Also, I would like to hear "Let the Bells Ring" and the "Memorize the City" remix, so email me at thallidstu@yahoo.com if you can help. Mrwuggs 02:21, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
- "Let the Bells Ring" is available on the iTunes Music Store as a download single...Luceo 10:45, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
On the French CD release of Grab That Gun, which remix appears, the Simon Bookish, Dustin Hawthorne, or a third unknowm remix? Regardless, I haven't been able to get ahold of any of the remixes, so again, if someone has it, please share. BTW, anyone who wants to hear "Can You Tell Me One Thing" can drop me an email.

[edit] Inaccurately compared to the Smiths!? Are you nuts???
I can't believe the author of this had the gaul to say that the Organ doesn't sound like the Smiths. The singer sounds EXACTLY like Morissey, and the guitar player literally uses Johnny Marr riffs in their songs. The Organ are well-known and popular now so let's drop the nonsense and admit the obvious. I can understand if you don't agree that it's a rip-off, but claiming that there is no comparison is absolutely absurd. People have accused a thousand bands of ripping off Pearl Jam just for taking Eddie's voice, the Organ takes it several steps further and just takes the whole band.
Also, when you're signed to Nickleback's record label (604) you're not "indie" anymore.
- Admittedly, it would be unrealistic to say that the Organ do not sound like The Smiths; they're a clear influence. But I think it would be a similar case to say that they just "take the whole band", as there are differences... Katie Sketch's lyrics are highly introspective for one, whilst Morrissey usually lent toward more political subjects for lyrics. Luceo 10:45, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
The Organ, especially Katie, have often expressed an aversion to being compared to bands like the Cure and the Smiths. I sympathize; one really can't play understated alt. pop anymore without drawing fire from that direction. Also, anyone who is concerned as to whether or not the band is properly "indie" or not needs to get over themselves and quit acting like a self-important 9th grader.
Conversely, any Organ fan looking for like-minded groups should check out Scotland's Twee-pop scene circa the early to mid 80s. Bands like The Pastels and The Vaselines share an important influence with our favorite Canadian quintet: The Shaggs. Any Lo-Fi fan will tell you that the slightly cracked naivety of the Wiggan family paved the way like no other band since the Velvet Underground. Also, check out the bouncy post-punk of the swiss-wave band "Kleenex" sometimes known as "Liliput." Mrwuggs 20:44, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalised?
"Sketch's musical training started at the age of one, when she began undie training on the violinessa in World of Warcraft"?
here is a bulletin from The Organ @ myspace: (and also on their website)
