Garage punk musician and DIY icon Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr., better known as “Jay Reatard,” passed away in his sleep early this morning. The 29-year-old was found dead in his Memphis home around 3:30 AM. As of now the cause of death remains uncertain, though Jay had recently reported via Twitter that he was feeling sick (and craving Vietnamese soup).
He died of a broken feart.
good?
OMG! That’s like the cool thing all of the sudden, everybody totally wants to like die and everything.
I NOE RITE???!?! TOTES TRU
“good?”???? fuck you fag! I would love to squeeze just one of your balls until they pop.
R.I.P Jay
Did this dude like to pretend he was a paraplegic in parts of his videos?
I get sick when I see blood visions.
Wow, we lost a giant. And all this time I thought that music died with G.G. Allin.
He was so talented. R.I.P.
pffft

What’s up with the crimeline number? Standard procedure?
You guys are dicks.
rip. love you jay.
as always people are gonna be assholes about this, but this guy was incredibly talented and made great music
I shouldn’t be amazed at the insensitivity, but I am.
He’s been on a bender all week. He OD’ed.
Normal, healthy dudes don’t die in their 20s. I blame his friends for not giving a shit.
thought he was an over-hyped fag before, still do
Craving Vietnamese soup huh?
He must have “Pho”-D’d. Wokka Wokka Wokka.
Did any of you faggots know him when he was in the reatards, lost sounds, final solutions etc.. i doubt it. Bless his soul he left you faggots to suck on your own house blog hipster cocks. die.
Listen to one he does about death, pretty fucking sad. http://www.expressnightout.com/content/2009/09/vic-chesnutt-at-the-cut.php
I’m really bummed out about Jay Reatard dying, and really pissed about hearing about it from Arv.
You gotta stay positive about these things todd. I think your going through a couple of phases that Jessica mentioned in one of her posts. Revert back to it for ways to cope.
I once was lucky enough to share a bill with the Lost Sounds. They were great and this is unexpected. Twenty-nine is too young.
Honestly, I’ve liked everything the guy has done. Never got to know the man personally but he played bass in Evil Army which makes him pretty cool as far as I’m concerned. May he rock in peace.
Dear God, why couldn’t you just take that guy from Wavves instead?
I’m honestly puzzled why commenters on a site which seems dedicated to talking shit about every living creature on Earth suddenly demand reverence and sanctimony when someone dies. Do you think he can hear you? Do you believe in spirits? Are you honestly that stupid?
It reminds me of when someone asked British serial killer Dennis Nilsen about why he had to rape corpses. He responded that they suffered less than if he’d raped them while alive.
yea people have this weird primitive reaction to assholes pissing on the things they like
his efforts were respected and sometimes death isn’t funny
@Taeil I thought the same exact thing no shit
@Jebbles: The Reatards were great. Didn’t listen to anything he did much after that, but from what I’ve been told it was good stuff.
@Goad: Make that center column on your website a fairly narrow, fixed width. No one can read columns that wide, so it’s a waste to have it expand with the browser window. Seriously, it will make the people who read what you write happier, and more likely to finish each paragraph. No homo.
Jim Goad is a pretentious faggot (no homo)
I want to suck Jim Goads ass and balls (no homo)
this dude SUX he peed on his band mates…they should have bashed his skull open with their guitars and ended his life then…
plus goad is awesomely awesome
lol. keep on doing drugs kids and you can die super early too. seriously, dont even fuck with drugs anymore, just get a revolver and play russian roulette until you shoot yourself in the face. you can get the same rush and the same end result.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! NO WAY!!! Did he really take a piss on his band? Is that why they quit?!?!!?? That’s frickin’ hilarious. Respect. I’d have quit too, but that’s still some hilarious rock’n'roll shit. These kinds of charismatic rockers are usually total narcissist, assholes, but they sometimes do some outrageous and hilarious stuff. fuckin’ A, man.
Now Harlem can’t pay his fans to punch him in face anymore

It’s sad … but shit, he kinda stole my thunder there for a while. Oh, and it’s pronounced Ray-tard.
fuck. see this is how musicians are SUPPOSED to do it: die before 30 on drugs. anyone who says different is a fag who cares way too much about music.
The Melvins made pretty good albums past the age of 30 John. Reatard probably had a few good 7 inches left in him.

Whoa No Fucking way!
that pretty depressing
