Although playing and recording blues for over a quarter of a century, this is the first LP Mister Childish has made in this genre for several years. As well as featuring great tunes, Heavens Journey also serves as a showcase for many new poems that have been recorded by this legendary painter, writer and musician. On this outing Billy is accompanied by his wife Julie on backing vocals and bass guitar. Julie is American by birth and her father's family are free Blacks and Winyah Indians from North Carolina. On drums we have Billy's friend Wolf, who has collaborated with Billy for the past 15 years, most notably with his dustbin mod group The Buff Medways. Sitting in on Harp is Bludy Jim, an old friend since the punk days. Heavens Journey is a great introduction to The Blues and poetry of Billy Childish and shows his versatility and unique position in writing and music: An anachronism who is forever influencing the world of contemporary art and music. As ever, these recordings are sophisticated, homemade and primitive, which Billy explains is ''the only way to connect with the heart''. Damaged Goods. 2005.

| | Shakira She Wolf CD (2009)
Heavens Journey
$14.39 Shakira's brand new English album She Wolf is an uptempo pop album. It is all about synthesizers and electronic concepts, all mixed with the world sounds that we are used to from Shakira.. sounds from countries like India, the Middle East and her home country of Colombia. She Wolf features a predominantly English track list with a follow up album of new and unique repertoire in Spanish to come in 2010. The title track "She-Wolf " boasts the infectious and energizing sound that made Shakira a household name, with a slightly more dancey/ electronic beat (about 125 beats per minute). Though most tracks on the upcoming album will be in English, Shakira chose to service the Spanish version of the first single, "Loba", two weeks before the English single is launched.
Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. This time, she focuses on one sound only: a pulsating electro-disco that crosses all boundaries and welcomes all nationalities. Such concentration behooves Shakira, freeing her to release her inner She Wolf, a wild wacko who's ...
| | Rammstein Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da CDs (2009) Bonus Tracks; Deluxe Edition; Digipak
Heavens Journey
$17.65 Anyone familiar with the industrial-metal band's dark sense of irony should take one look at the title of Rammstein's 2009 album LIEBE IST FUR ALLE DA ("Love Is There For Everyone") and conclude that this one is a mean monster. Combining the tightness and punch of their 1998 album SEHNSUCHT with the musicianship and elaborate textures of their later work, LIEBE IST is a grand achievement, skillfully dividing its time ...

| | Punk U.S.A. CD (1994)
Heavens Journey
$6.79 While most punk rock compilations tend to have a few good songs and a whole lot of garbage, the Ben Weasel compiled Punk USA actually manages to steer clear of too much rubbish and give a nice representation of the punk scene circa 1994. For those who may have forgotten, 1994 was a few years after grunge hit, as well as right about the time when Green Day really broke big, and the musical spirit of the time shines through pretty clearly. There really aren't any terrible songs on the 16-track record, but there are plenty of highlights. Jawbreaker's "Sea ...
| | Sparklehorse It's A Wonderful Life CD (2001) Limited Edition
Heavens Journey
$11.99 Sparklehorse singer/songwriter Mark Linkous's consistently eclectic and inventive work garnered the admiration of many fellow musicians over the years, and a number of them appear on 2001's IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, the band's ambitious third full-length album. In addition to co-producing the record with Linkous, Dave Fridmann (Mercury Rev/Flaming Lips) contributes various instruments, along with Portishead's Adrian Utley and PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish. Harvey herself lends her voice and guitar to the jagged "Piano Fire" and funereal "Eyepennies," her bold, plaintive singing playing wonderfully off of Linkous's more subdued vocals. Cardigans singer Nina Persson shows up on the bright pop gem "Gold Day" and the sleepy "Applebed," adding gorgeous harmonies at just the right moments, a presence sharply contrasted by Tom Waits's scruffy lead-vocal turn on the lumbering "Dog Door."
With all of the high-profile guests, it's remarkable that Linkous manages to keep the album sharply focused and solidly anchored, even with his usual satchel full of quirky sounds (optigan, electronic birds, "big seed pod") and enigmatic lyrical motifs (eyes, teeth, horses, dogs) on hand. Yet another fascinating installment in Linkous's catalogue, IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE reinforces his ...
