The Jay Reatard Thread (1 Viewer)

The Yank told me he read someplace that the man had been caning it pretty hard lately....
 
Any speculation as to cause?

He'd complained on his twitter feed recently of feeling unwell and run down for the past few weeks.

Edit: On the subject of his twitter I love the fact that his final tweet reads, "I will give anyone a hundred bucks per tire that they pop on the band liquor stores van ! Yes I'm serious." Dickish 'ol Jay to the end.

This is copied from another message board (they got it somewhere else) so possibly bullshit but anyway.

"He tried to attack us with a chainsaw after throwin around wads of money and burnin 20s and askin us if we thought he was a sellout but he was so fd on coke he couldnt even turn it on then he hit me in the face with a disco ball full of sand and cracked my nose open and kicked us out of his house after he invited us there to stay there and i was all bloody and my friends slashed his tires it sucked He was smokin coke out of a skull bong and freebasin and had 50 grand in his closet"

That's how I want to go.

I read an interview done by some flute who was completely stunned by the wildness of Reatards lifestyle- drink, soft drugs, all night parties and then having to do stuff the next day. The caning didn't seem particularly heavy. I'd say 9/10 thumped users have an equally 'mad' lifestyle.

Very sad news for any number of reasons up to and including the fact that he was very young and the fact that he was very talented.
 
Possibly murder?

Now thats fucking Rock'n'Roll.

Go Jay!
 
From Pitchfork an hour ago:

Memphis's Commercial Appeal reports that punk rock singer-songwriter Jay Reatard passed away on January 13 due to "cocaine toxicity, and that alcohol was a contributing factor in his death." (Via Stereogum.) He was 29.

And if you get hooked, baby, it's nobody else's fault, so don't do it!
