Two Years Ago Today: Jay Reatard
01/12/2012 1 Comment
KLYAM fave and legend Jay Reatard passed away. This came as just as much of a shock to us as it did to others. Though I did not know Jay personally (and if you’ve seen my ‘experience with Jay Reatard’ video, you know damn well), I was affected by his death. Just as he was at the peak of his solo career, I was at my peak in being a fan of his music. Since January 12, 2010, I’ve delved much deeper into his deep discography. If you haven’t already, do check out Angry Angles, Destruction Unit, The Reatards, The Lost Sounds, and Final Solutions.

I thought his death day was on 13 January. I wonder if he’d like having people go on about how he’s buried next to Isaac Hayes at every possible occasion. I thought the peak of his career was “Blood Visions” according to most critics. I think his lyrics are underrated, I think they have a lot do do with his appeal.
