My last Dusted review for the year is up today. It’s Jay Bolotin’s self-titled folk album, briefly available around its 1970 release, then lost for decades until Locust Music picked it up for reissue. Here’s part of the review: Another in the parade of long-lost singer-songwriter records recently recovered and dusted off for contemporary consideration, Jay Bolotin’s self-titled...

Arguing about indie-punk sensation Jay Reatard has become a popular pastime for music snobs on the Internet. Seems that with his move to Matador he's become too polished and power-pop for fans committed to his earlier, thrashier teenage punk. I thought he lived up to the hype in his first-ever Pittsburgh show Monday night at the Brillobox, especially considering that he's still breaking in...

"It Ain't Gonna Save Me" from the album Watch Me Fall 2009 iTunes As far as persona goes, this middle-school dropout from Memphis is as misanthropic and explosive as Iggy at his peak. But, as negative, bellicose, piss-drinking fuckups go, he certainly does work hard. Since the 1990s, he's issued a steady stream of music under a confusing array of auspices, including the Reatards, Lost...

Wavves frontman Nathan Williams hasn't had much better luck than Jay Reatard in holding on to a band. Williams took too many drugs and argued with his drummer onstage ; Jay Reatard pees on people . Apparently Jay Reatard's rhythm section would rather argue, since Pitchfork has confirmed that bassist Stephen Pope and drummer Billy Hayes have joined Wavves after leaving Reatard's...

... (admittedly Kim Deal-oriented) reasons why Jim DeRogatis is wrong about the Doolittle tour. Bonus: Jay Reatard as opener: We hadn’t realized there would be opening act, and, truth be told, we were hoping there wouldn’t be one… that is until Jay Reatard took the stage, his mop of curly, blond hair obscuring his face. Few audience members seemed to understand what...

Arizona-bred, Omaha-based Digital Leather mastermind Shawn Foree recently released Warm Brother via Fat Possum (Remember that traveling gloryhole ?). You won't find this Bowie-esque cover of MGMT's "Time To Pretend" anywhere near the new record. The song, which he recorded with Jay Reatard's ex-bandmates, debuted in this week's 'Gum Drop. We asked Foree a couple of questions about...

I’m lucky enough to be going to Pixies first of four NYC shows for the Doolittle Tour, which finally comes to town tonight! The tour is being pegged as a “cinematic extravaganza,” and just imagining myself at Hammerstein Ballroom tonight makes me squee! Tonight’s opening act is Bad Lieutenant with Jay Reatard playing on [...]

... the family for this round of Sonic Youth tour dates they probably should have tapped a band like Jay Reatard or Kurt Vile, but I guess since Cold Cave just released their debut album with the label it made some sort of loose sense. Dinosaur Jr. made complete sense! Born in 1984, the band has been around almost as long as Sonic Youth have and have influenced almost as many bands as the legends...
