RIP Jay Reatard

[Indifferent Clox]

:( only 29 he had so much potential

[D Mac]

Who is he.

[The Mask]

probably the fucking lead singer of spoon

[Kane Knight]

No, there are a couple of people who actually care about Spoon.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Reatard? For real?

[Kane Knight]

Reatard? For real?

It's a stage name. Probably done to lure in Clox.

[Anybody Thrilla]

OK, well who was he?

[FakeLaser]

Never really got into his music but RIP, sucks

Saying it might be a homicide

[Kane Knight]

OK, well who was he?

Other than saying "Not my cuyp of tea," I can't tell you anything you couldn't read on Wikipedia or hear for yourself on his Myspace page.

I always thought the guy was a twat (and therefore, exactly the type of asshole Clox would listen to), but it does suck if he was murdered.

[Anybody Thrilla]

So he was just a solo artist? I thought he may have been part of a group I had heard of or something. Not really interested in looking too far into it outside of this thread.

[FakeLaser]

He was a solo artist and had a band called The Reatards

Never really got into any of it

[BigDaddyCool]

Never heard of him. People die every day. Infact a bunch of hatians died the day before.

[Kane Knight]

Never heard of him. People die every day. Infact a bunch of hatians died the day before.

Yes, but how many of those Haitians were belowed to Pitchfork?

[Pete Cash]

It wasn't just pitchfork. He was starting to become a bit of a critics darling. Spin, NME, etc all rated his last album.

He was alright as a musician. Sucks that he died though.
