why is there so much hype on the jay reatard matador singles?

Re: What are you listening to?



I think there's just a lot of hype, period. I wasn't really familiar w/ him but picked up the singles comp on In The Red to see what he was about. It's alright... won't get a ton of spins on my end though. For a bit I wondered if he was some sort of like Pitchfork-lovable crossover version of the whole "shitgaze" aesthetic, but I think his recordings aren't fucked up enough to fall into that category, so maybe we're just ready for another powerpop/garage revival?</p>

How limited are those Matador singles, anyways? Maybe I'll love him more if there's few enuff. I may spend the next year buying things released in pressings of 300 or fewer, because that's what makes the music good. [79]</p>

Re: What are you listening to?

Too true. That's why, going back to the Vivian Girls... the first pressing of their lp is awesome, but that In The Red release is gonna blowwwwwwwww
