The word out of Memphis is that Jay Reatard has passed. If you enjoy high-energy, rapid fire music, Jay had you covered. Like so many others before him, we can only guess what might have been. Rest in peace Jay and thanks for sharing your music. In memory of Jay, here are some photos from a show at the Doug Fir lounge in the summer of 2008.

Sad, I feel like I should offer you my condolences since you were such a fan.
Thanks Kilwag.
