The very first time I listened to The Ugly Organ I was in the car with two of my best friends at that time. We had just watched ‘From Hell’ at another friend’s house and as we were leaving it was raining and the power was out on the street. That was when one of the bastards decided to blast on Harold Weathervein on the car, as if we were not scared enough. The song had this atmosphere and I’ll never forget how it felt when I first heard it. We just stood there listening quietly to the whole album.

Life came upside down a few times since then, but I always relate Cursive albums with the most important friendships I have/had and how they managed to see us survive through our roughest moments. Our priorities have changed, we have changed a lot, but always had the band as an ‘intersection’ in our tastes and our lives as music fans.

In 2012 a group of friends managed something amazing: bringing Cursive for two shows in Brazil. I didn’t know it back then, but it was the perfect opportunity to see that all the shit I had been through was in a long lost past and that the music is one of the few things that stays forever. For our little group, it was cathartic to finally be able to scream “do do do do do do do do the worst is over“ from the top of our lungs as you can (barely) see in one of the photos.

Cursive have once again expanded the dates of their February and March headlining tour. Check out the dates below after the jump.

We’d like to see your Cursive/Ugly Organ photos, videos, etc & hear about what the album means to you. It could be as simple as a pic of the new reissue, your favorite lyric from the record, you in your organ t-shirt, or a story about the time you saw the band.  Post your photos/etc on your Tumblr with and tag #UglyOrganContest for a chance to win the Ugly Organ reissue on LP or CD.  We’ll choose a winner next week.
