Just listened to the Jay Reatard album. It is pretty damn great.
I give up.
That solorecord by Reatard is by far the dumbest thing he ever released. It's total crap. It's all bad songs, lousy production (really lousy, jesus h!) and a semibandsound so silly it would make you laugh if it wasn't sounding so horribly wrong.
This is what we call Semi European Shite. New Wave from the early eithies swifted over by some pointless screaming and low fi trickery. You people should be forbidden to listen to any early new wave and late British punkbands for a decade.
Wrong vocals (laughable), total idiotic chord chages and chorusses that will never last. Sounding like the Bunnyman on a Sundaymorning 'whipping out a hangover'.
It's crap.
Give up the scam Scott.
