Matador is pleased to announce the signing of a multi-album, worldwide, exclusive recording agreement with prolific Memphis people person Jay Reatard. The label was already engaged in a series of limited-edition 7″ releases, to be compiled on CD for fall release. The first 7″, ?See/Saw,? is already sold out; the second, ?Painted Shut,? is due out on May 20. Jay will be recording in August for a brand-new studio album out in early 2009. (His former label, In The Red, is releasing a compilation of early singles in June.)

what the fuck means multi-album???

More than one album. Like a two or three record deal probably.

From Matador Jay site: "Singles will be in strictly limited editions. We?ve not figured out the exact scheme yet, but given our commitment to the customer-always-being-angry, rest assured the numbers will be lower than you?d like." - Jesus ! I hate all this pre-order and limited shit.... Its so ridiculous.

[Raul]

more than one album.. pff, that's a lot for a year.. hope that is ok

at the end i'm digging see/saw.. screaming hand much better though, it isn't as good as the LP but better than the last goner single (even if i dig the go-betweens cover a lot.. both songs are better than the other original from there)

[Davis]

Is anyone else  in canada STILL waiting on their pre order for this? Mine hasn't showed yet...

[Richie]

It will probably be more than a year. Theyve signed him for all future releases it sounds like. I wonder if the exclusive part means no more singles on Goner or other lables though.

[Raul]

sorry my stupidity..

i hope that not, and he will remind in future (when it will lots more famous..) where he come from, i don't mean albums but any single like you said

damn, that's embarrasing.

The Black Keys are fucking horrible .

[charlesgaskins]

"Head banging" to Black Keys?
I didn't know you could do that to white boy negro music.

Another topic...
That forum talking the smack on Jay.  WOW!
I really want to disagree but some of that I agree with.

OK, bro, you write some cool tunes and have been in some great bands and do cool solo shit and stuck your dick in pussies mine and every other guy has been in but I do wonder why these fight type things happen at your shows.
There's a pattern.

For example!  I DJed a VCR show tonight and kids were on the stage kicking the drums and pushing over the people in the band.  Human slingshot style pushes into the drum kit and amps.
Did they punch kids or act a fool? NO!  They kept playing.  The coffin case(decks and mixer) were at the corner of the stage on this wheeled podium.  The kids were knocking my shit the whole time.  Did we toss off punches or call off the show? No, sir, we did not.
Five pint glasses broke by my feet, at least 6 beer bottles broke next to my station, and beer and sweat and agro boy power consumed the front of Cake Shop.
It's lame to say, "I thought you were garage!" but really on the level it's true.
You know what you're there for.  You play your show.  People act a drunken fool and do some dumb shit.
You play your show and go on.
I understand the sound totally going out and NOT being able to play because of that reason but being on a stage and getting angry because your crowd is acting like a typical crowd...  Check yourself.

I'm harsh, I'm going to fuck up dudes.  This show was lame, I'll blame it on who booked it because that's the easy pick.

Fuck that faggot shit.



You're harsh and will fight dudes, man.  HARSH!  So tough, except you pussy out on your shows when you feel the slightest bit of retard crowd shit that EVERYONE(not just rock stars like you) deals with.

I dig your shit and have nothing against you, but faggotry is faggotry.
Take that how you want.

PM me or e-mail me if you'd like to talk further.  I know you read this stuff.

im not reading all of this above which may or may not make sense - but that last single is BORING!  wah wah bout yer alcoholic daddy, boo hoo.  no wonder they're pressing less each of each sucessive single!

jay was obviously kickass when he played now thats class during 9/11 - not a fake/marketed image at all - just totally went out and kicked some ass!  no wait, he didn't , got a mic accidentally knocked into him, and sulked all night.  not even a nice punch press photo there

obviously - fag in that show had it comng - but this moaning is getting old - how many times can you say "FUCK IT UP!!!" and get fucked up, and cry?

[mozart]

kids were on the stage kicking the drums and pushing over the people in the band.

- Fuck, whats going on in peoples heads these days... Why do one jump the stage and push people around ? Sounds like complete fools to me.

[mikesniper]

can we kill this thread?

[shauuuun]

The Black Keys are fucking horrible .

The worst.  And I've had to listen to people tell me for years that this band is good.  Saw them in 2002 at the More Than Music fest in Columbus and they were BY FAR the worst band I saw (and that's saying something considering the Walkman and !!! were there that weekend).  I honestly thought it was just some shitty local bar band the fest was having to throw a bone to the locals (good or bad).
