Jay Reatard found dead

[The Straight Dope]

I don't know what happened, but from reading what I did it sounds like he OD'ed.

I had a chance to see him live once at the chicago "riot-fest" which had such acts as lawrence arms, bouncing souls, and leftover crack.

I think its worth a mention and you should check out the music.

RIP Jay..

I haven't listened to him or his projects much lately, but it is tragic when an artist (or anyone) dies this young. He was really getting recognized lately, as well.

Recent update is the Memphis police department is investigating his death as a homicide. Jesus.
