Jay Reatard | MySpace Music Videos
I seem to be coming late to the party these days. I mean I have only just been getting into Mika Miko to find that they have recently disbanded. Now, Jay Reatard. Not only have I enjoyed his heavy garage punk, but also as a member of The Reatards and Lost Sounds he simply tore it up! It's sad that such a genuine man has fallen short, especially as his energy created such vibrant music!
This documentary, directed by Alex Hammond and Ian Markiewicz, offers a decent insight into Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jrs. life - showing plainly how he was an just an awesome guy! Plus, I love that he rips those French pricks to pieces!
