Ironically, one of the last of Jay's contribution to the world was a charitable effort in support of the vastly influential New Zealand musician, artist, and Flying Nun mainstay Chris Knox who suffered a suffered a "life altering" stroke . To help with his rehabilitation costs 33 bands have donated Knox-related covers to the double CD collection Stroke - Songs For Chris Knox . The tracklist includes Yo La Teno, Lou Barlow, Jay Reatard (RIP), David Kilgour, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Stephin Merritt, Bill Callahan, the Mountain Goats, the Chills, the Verlaines, Tall Dwarfs themselves, etc. Jeff Mangum offers [...]
Jay Reatard was found dead in bed at his home in Midtown, Memphis around 3:30 a.m. on January 13, 2010. A death investigation has been opened by Memphis police. A statement was posted on the website of Goner Records, that Reatard had died in his sleep - Wiki Not only is it saddening when we lose a person that we connect and relate to, whether it is through music or any other form, but its devastating when he have to let go of someone so young. Although Jay was 29 years old when he passed away, it [...]
+זו כבר מתחילה להיות מסורת שחביבה עליי במיוחד. כפי שציין עידו שחם, במצעדי סיכום השנה או העשור או האלף, לפעמים חשוב פחות מה לקח את המקום הראשון ומי עמד לפני מי בתור - הכיף הכי גדול הוא להיחשף לאלבומים מעולים שפיספסנו, אוצרות נידחים שהתגלו על ידי מעטים בלבד. ב-31 בדצמבר יפורסם כאן המצעד הגדול, הרשמי [...],

When Chris Knox ( Tall Dwarfs , Toy Love ) suffered a stroke earlier this year, it was hard to imagine anything good coming of it. However, a tribute album in the works is a rare hint of silver lining resulting from this tragedy. Jay Retard , The Mountain Goats , Yo La Tengo , Bill Callahan , and many more all contribute to the compilation, Stroke: Songs for Chris Knox . It's available now digitally from Merge with a CD release coming on February 23. Check out the full [...]

Or, don't skin the bear before it's been shot. That seems to be exactly what Jay Reatard 's old band members tried to do when they walked out on him in October. (But then again, that's punk music, right?) Inconvenient timing (due to them being on [...]

Hello, readers. I hope you are having a wonderful, relaxing labor day weekend. I hope you've had time to enjoy a drink, the company of good friends and family, and maybe even learned a valuable life lesson. For example, Kasey and I learned a valuable lesson about Wii Golf safety this weekend. I've been playing Tiger Woods 10 on my Wii recently. Awesome game. The controls are amazing. Anyways, I was playing it on Saturday afternoon, and doing pretty well. Game time is April 4, 2009 (or something), and I'm competing in Day [...]

Most Likely To: make you want to be the "you" in Jay's me and you against the world battle. Okay, I totally thought this was going to be a different album. I admit, I was expecting Corky. I maybe thought one of the How's Your News crew went solo. But silly me, I totally didn't see that first 'a'. My bad. So I guess that dream bill with the Phenomenal Handiclap Band is not happening. Now my mood is ruined. Contrary to what I thought Jay is, he's been writing, [...]

I was camping the past few days, ready to skip this week's post, but there's just too much here to ignore, even if too busy. I poached the latest from both Brendan Benson and The Cave Singers in previous posts, but that still leaves new ones from Jay Reatard and Pissed Jeans . Since time is limited, I'm doing some cut-n-paste w/ the Benson poach and I'll give a little love to one more. Playlist: New Releases 08.18.09 [...]

Another amazing video from the Daft Arts production company (LA-based producer Paul Hahn & some dudes who wear robot costumes). Directed by Bryce Kass, who also directed that jaw-dropping video... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.

Tennessee-born Jay Reatard 's sophomore solo album and Matador debut, Watch Me Fall , is a decidedly more melodic and pop-leaning album than Blood Visions without sacrificing the manic adrenaline-rush expected from Reatard's work. True to form, Reatard churns out song after song of perfectly constructed hook-filled, lo-fi poppy punk and makes it seem like it really could not be easier. Twelve short sharp songs, thirty-two minutes, not one second less than brilliantly captivating: the title of the album should be more along the lines of Watch Me Fall…No, [...]

Watch Me Fall , Jay Reatard's first true album for Matador, will not disappoint on release day, August 18th. Prepare yourself by listening to "Wounded" and "It Ain't Gonna Save Me."

It's a case of second time lucky for Jay Reatard as Aiken have announced the Memphis short-attention span rocker is due to play Whelan's on November 16th after his cancelled appearance last year. Tickets €16 on sale from Wednesday. On August 18, Matador will be releasing the long-anticipated new LP/CD/digital album from Jay Reatard, Watch Me Fall , his debut album proper after the Singles Collection for Matador last year. Here's what he told Matador about it: "This new album has been challenging. It's the first time I've written and [...]
Since the pummeling fuzz, swinging hair and Flying V snarls of his debut record Blood Visions , Reatard has now re-envisioned himself as a softer-around-the-edges pop writing machine on his sophomore release Watch Me Fall .
