Episode Description

This week we're discussing every album by Jay Reatard. Before his untimely death due to an overdose in 2010, Jay Reatard (not his birth name, believe it or not) made his name playing a distinct but surprisingly catchy brand of garage rock-infused punk. He started with The Reatards and then Lost Sounds before going solo. Maybe his style isn't for everyone, but dammit if these aren't some of the most fun songs ever written.
