Genius Of Billy Childish With Thee Headcoats And Thee Milkshakes, The - Milkshakes/Headcoats (Thee)

This is Thee Glitz!

Advantages: a classic album
Disadvantages: not to everyones taste

career. DJ Pierre an old friend invited Felix on a trip to London. It was the early 90s and dance music was just beginning to take off. Independant record labels were springing up all over the place. The record labels went crazy for Felix, eagerly putting out his tracks for him, things really started to take off. Early nineties smashes included "Thee Dawn" and "Thee Underground Made Me Do It." Felix only started Dj-ing in 1995, a late starter for a dance music artist. During the next few years he continued to release more material and a very limited edition album in 1997 called "I Know Electrik Boy" under the name of "Thee Maddkit Courtship." That was received really well by critics but it wouldn't be until he met Miss Kitten and Dave The Hustler that he would make his most successful album. "Kittenz and Thee Glitz" wasn't really planned ...

Review of Kittenz And Thee Glitz - Felix Da Housecat

Billy Childish Is Dead DVD

Advantages: Insightful documentary
Disadvantages: Leaves you wanting more!

This is a great introduction to the work of this multi-talented songwriter, artist and poet. It opens with a conversation over an aborted move project which is a gentle introduction into the nature of Childish's character. The documentary shows him inking woodblock prints as the interviewer asks about his abused past.

Review of Billy Childish - Billy Childish Is Dead (DVD)

Advantages: Heavy, catchy, no bad tracks
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

of a motorbiking revving up, followed by the famous Renegade riff. Once again the chorus is so catchy and singable. Hail to thee, hammerfall! 4. Living in Victory - The best thing about this song is the fantastic solo section. Virtually every Hammerfall track has a brilliant solo section but this one is stunning. 5. Always Will Be - The obligatory corny metal ballad. It wouldn't be Hammerfall without one of these. This one is actually a great track, even though the video is cringe-worthy! 6. The Way of the Warrior - My favourite of the album. This track finally brings us the main thing we like about Hammerfall - The sound of big crowds of angry warriors chanting the backing vocals. "This is the way of the warrior!" they shout. Perfect metal. 7. Destined for Glory - An epic string intro with the guitar playing over it, followed by a nice ...
