I saw him with Deerhunter, Times New Viking, and Pylon here in Atlanta on halloween of 2008. What's weird is that Randall Bewley died February of 2009. Sad to lose him and very sad to lose Jay too.

He was excellent live and on record.

Looks like it is true. This is so horrible.

Shit. At least I got to see him live. "Man of Steel" was my jam last year.

Seemed like his reputation preceded him a lot of the time but go down the list musically and it's hard to step to what he put out. Even that aside, anyone going at 29 is a huge bummer.

Jay was one of the greats.  The masterful Blood Visions and the rest of his vast catalog will slay for years to come.

Saw him twice at small clubs. I had never seen someone take a very small show at a rock club as such an opportunity to blow it out like he did. This is very sad and unexpected.

Shocking, terrible news.  Was also lucky to see him in a small packed club a couple of years ago.
