...Through these abridged popular classics and examples from the Histories, The Spartan Dreggs elevate mere popular music-making to a level equal - and adjacent to - high art.Some may find the didactic of these Spartanists quite informal, others may chide them for their high sentiments, but we assure the listener that signifying proper literature with love is no simpleton's textbook. After all, recognising foolishness across the epochs is no small answer to life's obstinate mysteries.
So, be inspired by the harsh melodies and right-sounding notes of Dreggredation and the imagination will flower as a dog rose, leaving the listener emboldened sufficiently to see that she is already whole and complete and in no need of action or 'doing'.
Furthermore, should the aforementioned listener accept The Spartan Dreggs' rendering of The Rage of Achilles - an epic of manifold marvel and wonder - they may perchance see how it is possible to move beyond impotence and invent a new and entirely original form from old worn robes and shards of ancient ceramic.
Likewise, though Tablets of Linear B (formerly The Siege of Thebes) may upon first encounter appear to offer nothing but 'a glove in the face of the most stalwart Spartanist', be assured the artist known as The Spartan Dreggs would never serve as supper what the hungry traveller's stomach could not with practice, learn to tolerate and eventually grow to love. - https://damagedgoods.greedbag.com/

Hey, RYP. As we are nearing the end of the post-Thee Headcoats Billy Childish musical adventure I wanted to thank you again for providing all these albums. You might remember I was the one that made the request.
Billy Childish is one of my musical heroes, but I stopped paying attention after Thee Headcoats broke up as he stopped touring every year and I only wanted to catch his live act. I felt the recorded output was a bit spotty after Thee Mighty Caesars.
So, thank you. It's been very cool and I was pleasantly surprised how much of it I liked. Although, my favorite band is still The Milkshakes. Thanks for the videos of those, too.
Pee Wee Hormone,
yes, my favorites are the Milkshakes too! I met them in the early 80s in the now historic "Essen Youth Center". Crash hard beat music, nice amateurish and with a lot of heart! I'll never forget... I've seen The Masonics with Mickey, Bruce and John a lot and they are a good substitute for the Milkshakes. If they occur near you you have to go there!
That's cool you were able to meet them. I have checked out The Masonics. In Madrid when I was there traveling. They were great and they were very nice to me and my girlfriend who were very drunk and trying to be cool and hang out with them. But then again we were like the only people dancing in the crowd that night, so that was fair.
I also took a pilgrimage trip to London and The Dirty Water Club to see Billy Childish's band at the time. Might have been MBE. All this was back around 2008. That was the last time I was able to go to any shows as I live far away. I saw Thee Headcoats as much as I could in the 90s and before that I was too young.
But, I love The Milkshakes records with Mighty Caesars being a close second.
I have tried to collect all the records I can from the internet and this fills out a lot. Only thing I don't have is much by Thee Headcoats. But I wasn't as into their records.
It was also cool to see so many people who were appreciative and into the posts, too. You should definitely try putting up some earlier Billy Childish and Masonics stuff some time in the future if you've got room on your posting schedule. It could only make the world a better place.
Cheers, my friend. You do a good thing on this site for all us rock n roll losers out here. Great music I never would be able to hear. Keeps my garage rock torch burning.
Best blog around. Thank you for everything,
