Jay Reatard 1980-2010....RIP
from his music blog Super Indie Musician Jay Reatard died today. You can "download" (they actually just let you stream it, but hey) an unreleased cover of Nirvana's "Frances Farmer will have her Revenge on Seattle" at his blog; whoever runs the blog graciously decided to release it today. He has toured with and is friends with the likes of The Pixies and Beck. Beck posted a cover that Jay Reatard did of one of his songs on his own website, so check that out (you have to scroll down a bit) He was from nearby Memphin, TN and I know he's played in Atlanta a lot; I never got to see him live but I remember checking into his stuff when I saw that he was playing with, I think, some local Atl bands a while back, I don't recall which ones. He's been a part of 22 albums and over 100 singles since he was 15 and released his first solo album in 2006. Sucks to be dead. They haven't released the cause of his death yet.
