I really like Lost Sounds.  Not so much his early stuff like the Reatards.  What is he, 14 years old in those albums?

I bought the Lost Sounds self-titled at a Jay Reatard show earlier this year, and it's been in heavier rotation than anything that has come out in '08. Awesome stuff.

I think Blood Visions is his crowning acheivement (so far), but that LP is a close second.  Final Solutions stunk.

"commercially", i agree.  its what he's gotten huge on.  but theres some stuff he sings on a jay reatard tour that are angry angles songs.  besides, as much as i like Blood Visions, i always enjoy the EPs, "Hammer, I Miss You" and "Night of Broken Glass" a little better.

I haven't heard any of the FS singles or Disco Eraser, but I think about half of Songs by Solutions is pretty good.

PFT's video store stories cracked me up, especially the one about the angry "Ballroom Dancer" customer.  Like Steve, I also liked the "Surfin' Bird" moment.

Worst part of the show...The Whitest Kids You Know caller who got unceremoniously GOMP'd.  What was that all about anyway?

Ugh! I posted in the wrong thread.

Ignore previous post.  And this one too.
