Jay Reatard - Don't Let Him Comeback Goner Store - 5/11/2007

[wasteoofspace]

FUCKIN GREAT SONG as ever

[minnekermusic17]

It never was about the notes being played or the chords. It was about the passion, the attitude, the intent, and the energy (among many other great qualities) and the beautifully flawed human behind all of it.

[FunhouseJr]

Let it be known that this is a Go-Betweens cover. It appeared as the B-side of their 1979 "People Say" single.

[GodStarRevisited69]

you can say what yo ulike, but a legend is dead,and his music wil live on past anyones lives that wriet on this wall. he did something while he was here. and he did it well.... love to Jay forever and ever. Hammer? I miss you.

[kylieiscool1]

love this song saw it in a skate vid u guys r really good and dont let the haters get to ya they suck:)

[BEASTINIZER]

hahaha, i love jay reatard. but, they should've named their band "Curly Headed Fucks" lol.

[leosperez1970]

alla you all can blow me. jay rocks end a story.

[MrTatertot1988]

@avsky123 it seems as you are talking as he is still alive, mother fucker died almost a year ago.

[beowulven]

The emperor wears no clothes. This is fucking horrible.

[gilcredt]

This is a cover song!

[Nik0las55]

best song by him RIP

[Dayzzz420]

It's a cover. But I agree that it's awesome.

[tuse666]

this is punk rock!

RIP Jay Reatard

[beowulven]

@tuse666

No, it really isn't. It's sloppy pop music.

[tuse666]

@beowulven you're jealous because he's better than you.

[beowulven]

@tuse666

He's making the best music of his career six feet underground.

[stugats1]

fabulous

So simple, yet powerful. I like the fast-pace in Jay's music.

[deathbythestairs]

R.I.P

[smilystoll]

R.I.P. Jay

[NewPaltzIndie]

Go-betweens rock and so do these guys!

[OthersomeGuy]

Jay Reatard is a tool of gentrification. He's playing at a Stuyvesant Town show in NYC. The show is intended to make Stuyvesant Town appear like a hip place so real estate developers Tishman and Speyer can jack up the rent.

[donohuenyc]

what an idiotic comment. anybody under the age of 100 in nyc is a tool of gentrification.

[mygregg123]

its music bro!!!! stop trying to sound like you matter or even have an inkling of a relevant thought. If you were Jay i bet you'd be damn happy to play your awesome music for whoever wants to listen... grow up, get a life, stop being a critic. NOBODY LIKES A CRITIC.

[GavinFitch]

I like this song so much more live

[rafaelmadferit]

Jay Reteard and The Black Lips are rock'n'roll today. Forget about fucking Strokes, Arctic Monkeys or Kooks, that is rock music.

[redmeatheart]

lets be honest the black lips are a long way ahead of jay reatard, king khan bbq show, and the shrines also deerhunter are better than jay. Hell there is a band in liverpool called dirtblonde that put them to shame. But their decent just not that good. Your a black lips fan so you obviously know the score, but jay reatard are not on that level.

[Pogs4Fathersday]

I love when people try to put objective standards on something as subjective as music or art for that matter. One's taste is their own and I'd hate to be the miserable bastard who gets all shook up about dissenting opinions.

[momsbluedress]

@rafaelmadferit Ummm... a bit late to the party, but... isn't rock'n'roll and "rock music" pretty much the same goddamn thing?

[HForHeiny]

@momsbluedress Don't know what you're arguing about but rock music and rock n roll is much MUCH different.

rock music sucks

[momsbluedress]

@HForHeiny What the fuck are you idiots babbling about? It's the same shit. Oh pop and pop music are two different things...

[HForHeiny]

@momsbluedress bands like U2 or fucking kings of leon or other shitty similar bands would classify ROCK music.

[jbearden]

THE SHIT!

[apagalatele1]

es igual lento o rapido , este retardado es la lexe !the best¡

[vomlox]

I don't see how being unoriginal is a fault. In music, enthusiasm (something Jay Reatard has loads of) trumps originality 10 times out of 10.

[terrybratshaw]

THIS SONG FUCKING BLOWS

[cartopol]

No. That's not right.

[TonyMoans]

yeah, he should really have covered Skrewdriver or something xHARDxCOREx instead of the Go-Betweens.

hahaha

[terrybratshaw]

THIS SONG STILL FUCKING BLOWS

[mygregg123]

why are you searching jay if you think he sux? lets hear some of your music. I bet its just wonderful.

[sophiealbarn]

nice, an early Go-Betweens cover!!

[scseils]

This is unique and diffrent thats why i like this. I ussualy go to a quaint coffeshop and listen to them. Nobody knows music unless they keep up with all of the pretentious indie undergroud bands.

[sublimesugar]

lol. win.

do we have to have afros too?

[francisapple]

this is hardly unique

[kevagonia]

yeah this is totally unique. like for instance when i saw greg cartwright at lebga records and he played the same style with less volume, same crowd.

[CaliTRIXIA]

hey fellas-not to start a war,.. but jaymusseato is right ...contrivance is celebrated.... but this is a rather faithful take revealing jays taste for a rather old deep cut (on the cusp of 3 decades old singer/song writer track at that) ... anywho i like it, i like jay and i'm old enuf to know the original version

[MemphoTenn]

I like Jay too! So does my daughter... and I'm sure my future grandchildren will too.

[StevenDorf]

That bass player sucks and is fat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rbeastmaster]

so is your mom.

[jaymusseato]

i guess we're gonna pretend that nobody put together those particular notes together before, huh??????...and like 20 or 30 years before this turd was shat out.

CONTRIVANCE is CELEBRATED in CONTEMPORARY CULTURE

[mtmillionaire]

...right, and he's the first person to recycle a chord progression. You're a douchebag.

[thejayc]

alliteration...that's neat. i bet you thought that was very clever.

[poopiedeloopie]

@jaymusseato Alliteration is pretty contrived.

[jakespnl463]

@jaymusseato fuck you stop trollin you fucking dumbass peice of shit go kill yourself you fucking castrate

[THECREWsTUBE]

@jaymusseato your the reason why great artists die

[BadOwlOwl]

@jaymusseato 12 notes in the musical alphabet (including semitones) how the fuck is anyone supposed to do anything original dipshit?

[jabatheglut]

@jaymusseato this is contrived, because it's a cover song. it was not created by jay reatard. it was a song written by the go betweens and he covered it. stop being a wang.

[logick0]

look at billy rocking that lion's mane! roar!

[iamthewww]

does anyone know what album this song is from?

[mtmillionaire]

"I Know A Place" 7" single, Goner Records.

[pierreerichexum]

@mtmillionaire it's also on "Singles O6 07", In The Red

[ExplosionsAreOnFire]

It'll be out on "Singles 06-07" on June 24th.

[NoDirectionHome19]

[spurisluris]
