Thee Billy Childish

Apologies for my looong absence!! I intend on posting daily (or bidayly when i m busy) from now on.

To atone for my sins, i thought i would post a few from thee prolific garage punk purveyor that is Billy Childish: painter/poet/musician, he is both a revolutionary modern day renaissance man and a throwback to a conservative, anti post-modern point of view (especially when it comes to art). But more importantly, he makes and has made some great, dare i say, unforgettable music.

Here are a few choice cuts from his Milkshakes phase..

"the band was... impressive for the prodigious volume of its output (in 1984, its most productive year, the band released no fewer than seven albums — four of them on the same day)"
(from Trouserpress)

,.. as well as his Jack Ketch & The Crowmen incarnation doing a cover of the Buzzcock's "Boredom", one of the first 70's punk songs i ever heard, plus the original as lagniappe.
