Jay Reatard interview

Interview i did for a journalism class with Jay Reatard around September 2007 in Cleveland, Ohio. I'm pretty amateurish and a little unprepared but he was awesome and really fun to talk to on and off the camera. I miss him already!

I interviewed him one night 3 years ago but he ended up taking over the whole phone convo. He was an amazing man! Live fast die young and leave a good looking corpse. Rest in piece Jay you had so much more to give. He help publish and record so many garage bands He came off snotty but oh well he was a great guy.

I saw Jay Reatard play (in the Netherlands, Europe) with the Reatards, Lost Sounds and later as "Jay Reatard". Great shows! Friday (13th...) it's two years ago Jay went away. Oh, it's such a Shame... PLAY JAY EVERY DAY!

dont pass on the short lived Angry Angles, right before he was a solo artist. And the older Oblivians kinda mentored him...or he probably wouldnt have made it to 21. Nurtured by Goner and In The Red Records...youre missing out if you dont explore it all

I agree passion really pops outta his songs

[@themanatee9276]

This is trippy because the interviewer's voice sounds really close to mine. I was surprised as soon as he started talking

He seemed a lot cooler when he wasn't being jump-cutted all to shit by some big company, for unnamed reasons.
