Real fun to listen to is "Wild Billy Childish and the Blackhands play: Capt. Calypsos Hoodoo Party". Great Versions of "Rum 'n Coca Cola" and "Anarchy in the UK"!

And another question: Does anyone know where to get a book of his woodcuts (or his art in whole) for a reasonable price? On amazon I can only find his novels or books where the woodcuts seem to be not that important.

Speaking of Billy Childish, Michael Kaiser... I believe you still owe us a second volume of an all-Billy Childish Radioblivion. Haven't seen anything since #41, and I've been ITCHING for a new one. The last one was awesome! Don't hold out on us!

Gadzooks, all of them!

I think Archive from 1959 is a good place to start. It's kind of a best of kinda thing from his career, though of course tons of great songs were left off. You could see which bands you are most interested in from this, and then start working on getting the albums.

Really though, he has so many bands and they have released so many albums I don't think there is wrong place to start.

I won't try to list every project, but check out:

Pop Rivets, his early punk band
Milkshakes, great garage rock with a 60s flavor
Mighty Caesars, more chaotic garage with punk elements
Thee Headcoats, see above
Buff Medways, garage rock with some nice melodic stuff mixed in
Headcoatees, great girl version of the Headcoats, he plays guitar and writes the songs

There are more of course.. Maybe you already know about this stuff, but figured I'd list it just in case.

If you want to hear his current stuff, check out The Musicians of the British Empire, it's great. Also they are easier to get your hands on, since a lot of his older stuff is out of print right now.

Check out Damaged Goods Records, Interpunk or ebay and you should find what you need.

I love Billy Childish and Holly Golightly!

Dave, you've never read Roctober! How's that possible!? whatwave dave said:

This may be a dumb question, but i live in Canada and have NEVER seen an ish of Roctober...checked out their website and couldn't see any way of ordering or subscribing...how does one get Roctober???.

can somebody please tell me what "Moterhead" is all about???????!!!!!! are they a Rock band that just Likes everybody???

wow!!! dont evenknow whhat to say about that! Giannis KRI said:

Yes i think i heard them covering emergency too.Probably they liked motorhead.But who doesn't?Maybe me,but joey ramone does.

Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

I do like one thing by them when they teamed with Motorhead to do this Johnny Kidd and the Pirates cover, but this could have easily been done by the Pandoras, Brood, or Runaways as well.

Yeah, the Pagans!! Forgot about them. I have that cd somewhere! Nocount said:

The Saints - Stranded. One of a few records that I could listen to from beginning to end, over and over.
X-ray Spex - Germ Free Adolescents. The lyrics are pure poetry, but the sound, it still gets me. The Cramps - Songs the Lord Taught Us - Talk about a sonic revelation. Dead Boys - Young Loud and Snotty - 'Nuff said An honorable mention to The Pagans - Everybody Hates You, a disk put out by Crypt Records some years later of the material from that era. The Adverts - Crossing the Red Sea with The Adverts - Catchy melodies, that burrow under your skin for endless supply of exquisite torture. Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady - I know, i know, Not really an album. So what. It sure felt like one when I got my gready mitts on it some 30 years ago.

oh OK Ill add the adverts at least, and the x ray sepx Lenny Helsing said:

au contraire friend, yes you are entitled to your opinion but it ain't mine dat for sure...you simply cannot deny the genius present in the first Damned LP, also first two Saints LPs, Johnny Moped, Wire, The Adverts, Eater and at least the first 4 Ramones LPs...The Gun Who? Ivy Wha? PAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oooo that'll get some ears flappin eh, ha ha...

Eastwood said:

Theres only really... the first Ramones record... The Adolescents First record... The Gun Club's First album....
yeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh... The Ivy Green LP too

Yeah that era was certainly one of those ultra-special ones like the orig. r'n'r period, and the beat-into-garage-psych movement... MATT GALLUCCI said:

The good news I see from reading lots of the posts is that five year period had TONS of great music. Lots of opinions and lots of great records!!!!!!!!!

Lenny Helsing said:

Yeah cool Matt, that very Neil Young LP fits the bill, and though not regarded as punk stuff like Tonight's The Night can fit the bill...well if the Fun Club can be punk then so can Neil Young and The Electric Prunes and The Crawdaddys and The Chesterfield Kings...yeah I love the Dolls and Heartbreakers too...I guess even stuff like the early Wipers counts too right? But when you start getting into Gun Club territory then well the 'Mary Chain and early Shop Assistants and the like gotta be included too, and then it's just a hop skip and spit to the newer garage 60s fiends like The Tell-Tale Hearts and while I'd never cite them as punk, unless we mean 60s garage punk R&B-fixated stuff, they are way more true soul of what punk was is and ever should be...than a million others that some folks bring into the picture...but Hey ain't it true that's all just opinions...and we all have them...C'est la vie poonk luvvers

MATT GALLUCCI said:

The Ramones got me started down the path, so those first 4-5 records that fit the '76-'80 time frame are my favs. Really off the wall, but if you crank the electric tunes you might agree (or not), but Live Rust by Neil Young I think fits. I know, I know, the extended guitar parts don't fit the mold, but punk music isn't about fitting a mold, it's about energy!!! And Neil had it during that period. Live, none better!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Add to my list The New York Dolls and anything solo from its band members. Real Sex and Drugs and R & R!!!!!!!!

The Damned and The Saints LPs RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lachlan William Richardson said:

There was some pretty brilliant albums released in that time frame, favourites, that I can't put in order:

Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers - LAMF
Richard Hell & The Voidoids - Blank Generation
The Saints - Eternally Yours
The Damned - Damned Damned Damned
Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks
Ramones - Rocket To Russia

Never really dug the Clash that much...

Aw, man, this is sad news indeed. One of the greatest (if not THE greatest) dance craze singles of all time.

I was saddened by the news (which I heard about on WFMU's Fools Paradise show-in N.Y. if ya' don't know), but was a little pissed by lack of any real notice given his passing from ANY news sources. Your posting is what appeared everywhere and I thought that sucked. Shit, the guy had a bunch more great tunes-they're on the cover of the album.
