Oh fuck no, c'mon please let this be a hoax what the fuck goddamit
-
I missed seeing him in Glasgow while I was still there. Fuck. Ing. Guy.
RIP dude.
-
RIP, Jay.
:cry: Was always a huge fan.
-
Jay Reatard was occasionally inflammatory, sometimes an asshole, but always a good songwriter, and always punk fucking rock.
This sucks so much
-
fuck 2010
-
what the hell?
not the biggest fan of his music but he was pretty good and this is very strange.
-
what is going on jesus
I just heard about Brittany Murphy yesterday and now this? fuck
-
No way, what the fuck.
:?
-
Oh man, what? Man, shit.
-
Oh man, he wasn't even 30 years old yet.
-
Fuck this shit.
It's kinda creepy that I saw him perform almost a year ago (and he almost kicked a mic stand into my face).
R.I.P. Jay.
-
RIP
fucking shame
-
It sucks that he's dead, but I've never really found his music to be that special. Can anyone show me something really good by him?
-
what the fuck no this can't happen
-
I saw him live last summer, after the show he hugged me and signed my shirt. That day means so so so much more to me right now.
:cry:

Guys, I gotta fess up here. I made a pact with the Devil. He took the wrong Jay.
Seriously, this is a bummer.
-
This is fucked up. His live show was something to behold, I'm glad I got to witness one.
-
What is up with the universe?
-
Listening to the Matador Singles '08 compilation right now.
-
Well, I heard about this yesterday and said what Ernest said.
And now I'm watching him on YouTube and rethinking my position.
RIP man you were fucking punk rock
-
fuck 2010
-
This sucks. I was rocking out to Blood Visions last night.
-
Please tell me this wasn't drugs related.
-
It's not like it'd suck more or less if it was.
-

same here. seems he was a lot more awesome live than on record.
-

I disagree. The number of people to die young from drug use is ridiculous and I'm so sick of being pissed off at artists for essentially killing themselves. It sucks to be in mourning of someone yet also pissed off at someone.
-
it's one thing if they die of an illness or getting hit by a car or something, but to know that they were actively taking steps towards their own early demise is extra saddening.
-
yeah man fuck people who smoke cigarettes or drink beer.
-
That wasn't what I was getting from what he was saying at all. Are you being contrary to what people say solely to be contrary to what people say?
-
I don't see how it's something to be angry at a musician over if they OD. It's just as sad no matter how someone dies, and someone who ODs hasn't done anything to you. Taking personal offense or getting pissed off is just a waste of energy.
-
According to the sheriff's office, his death is now being investigated as a homicide.
EXTRA SHITTY
-

no, i am attempting to make a point. if a musician dies of lung cancer should you get all pissed off that they smoked? musicians are people, and people should have the right to get high or skydive or practice auto-erotic asphyxiation if they want to. it's stupid to get mad at an artist because they do something that might get them dead.
-
lung cancer is a far cry from putting a gun in your mouth, or whatever

and putting a gun in your mouth is a far cry from putting a needle in your vein.
barring overdose, famous junkies have lived quite long lives. see: burroughs, keith richards, aerosmith, lou reed, kim gordon, etc.
-
to be fair keith richards is a robot
either way it looks like this argument might be moot (http://pitchfork.com/news/37592-jay-reatards-death-investigated-as-homicide-by-memphis-police/)
-
Well apparently his death is being investigated as a Homicide so I don't think we have to worry that his death may have been overdose related...although I guess it's technically possibly to kill someone by making them OD or poisoning them or something.
Anyways, this still sucks, also kind of eerie that the last thing it seems he recorded was a Nirvana cover.
-
the fact that police were called to his house at 3 AM is suspicious in itself, considering nobody else was there when the police arrived.
i honestly still think it may have been suicide.
-
There were no weapons involved or we would know that and I can only assume that the coroner did not find reason to do a toxicology report or it would be reported.
Doesn't sound like suicide.
-

it's a pretty big assumption to make that there hasn't been, or isn't going to be, an autopsy/toxicology. when someone just "dies in their sleep" at 29 people generally try and find out why.
i think it's just not been long enough for information to be released. i mean, they haven't even said who called the police and why yet.
-
I dunno, it seems like suicides become obvious and are reported on almost instantly

The information came from Fox, and their article's now gone. I'm guessing they made presumptions based on what this article (http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2010/jan/13/memphis-musician-jay-reatard-found-dead-midtown-ho/) mentions, that they're investigating his death which is perfectly normal when someone unexpectedly dies without a very obvious reason.
-

a suicide is obvious is you blow your brains out and leave a note.
if you overdose or take too much valium and drink a lot of alcohol and therefore "die in your sleep", not so much.
An investigation into his death is under way, although foul play isn't necessarily suspected, a police spokesperson told the Memphis newspaper.
An autopsy reportedly was performed and the results are pending.
-
Well damn.
-
Don't toxicology reports tend to take ages to produce results?
-
I've heard conjecture that it was swine flu that got him :-(
-

Depends what they're looking for. As a rule of thumb though, no, they shouldn't.
-
Cocaine. It's a hell of a drug.

-
Since nobody seemed to react to that last bit of news, bump.
No pun intended, naturally.
-
Good work on bumping right on to a new page, jerkass.
-
I'm too lazy to download and re-up, so I'm just going to link off-site if that's alright with you (if not, fuck you)
Jay Reatard vinyl rips (http://zambonisoundtracks.blogspot.com/2010/03/jay-reatard-vinyl-rips-by-wolfsblood.html). I think Ian makes a pretty good case for why these are better than the shitty CD masterings. I think it sounds a lot better too.
-
They do sound better.
-
Oh wow, yeah they do. I mean, I loved Blood Visions before, but when I have time to spin this rip a few times I may never listen to the other version I had again.
