lost sounds - memphis is dead / black wave / misc.

so i know fat possum is doing us all a favor by releasing a best of the lost sounds lp, BLAC STATIC, seeing as all their albums are out of print and not nearly enough people know about jay reatard's former band.......

but its a shame that each lp isn't going to be individually reissued.   i love each and every lost sounds album........ noise, punk, synth and good ol' rock n roll all mashed into one chaotic mess.........

although some jay reatard fans weren't super into the LOST SOUNDS and they were barely noticed during their five album run, some of his best songs were written for the synth punk group.

and even though i own too many records, i often throw the lost sounds lps on the turntable.........so many more people need to give 'em a listen......

the lost sounds, at any rate, are better than the buzz bands getting hyped in the blogosphere.......

i don't want you to miss out on some of the more obscure jay reatard tracks, so here are the first two lost sounds lps and two rarities comps (that are by the way, insanely rare).......
