goodbye my friend.




as the internet is awash in the news, you've probably heard by now that jay reatard died yesterday in his sleep.

the news is quite upsetting to say the least. fucking sad.

i was looking forward to his annual spring show in chicago, as he played here at least 3 times a year if not 10......

his music is infectious and every last track he recorded i fell in love with, whether the reatards, the lost sounds or under his own name...... he left a great mess of side projects, seven inches and eps that i plan on collecting for years to come. but it saddens me that there will be no more.

i hope everyone who doesn't know his music takes his unfortunate death as an excuse to check out an amazing musician......garage and punk or rock for that matter will never be the same.....

i love and miss you jay..........
