Are You Kidding Me: Jay Reatard Found Dead

One of my favorite albums last year was Watch Me Fall by Jay Reatard (mentioned here and here). As if fulfilling his self prophecy Reatard did just that today at the age of 29. I can't vouch for the man personally but on a musical level, the world has lost a creative soul. Here's a link to the blog post written by his label, Matador Records.

  1. Does it reveal my musical uncoolness to say that I have never heard of this guy before? But I just listened to the first clip, and I like the upbeat sound. Catchy.

  2. No, that is the expectation. Otherwise I wouldn't be doing this :)
