WHAT. THE. FUCK. pour one out 4 tha homiez, Jay Reatard has passed on. Watch Me Fall indeed.
January 14th, 2010
Jay Reatard was right, it ain’t gonna save him… no word on the cause of death yet, but what a god damn shame… he was only 29 and everyone and their mother is guessing overdose. at least for someone so young, he left behind a surmountable volume of music. pour one out 4 tha homiez, y’all… what a blow to the indie world. (*update – couple touching-ish tributes from Los Angelenos – Beck here with Jay’s cover of Gamma Ray – and Amoeba Records with a tribute here and photos from his Hollywood Amoeba show here.)
