A little help please...
Jay Reatard
While posting a traditional, cheesey music video seems like the wrong way to express what was so great about him (shit-hot live shows, melody stripped to its basest elements and a stage personality that leaned heavily on the asshole parts of his personality). But, fuck it, I think it's funny.

Back
Well, yes. Back. Back in Oklahoma from a fantastic month in NYC and hopefully back to writing and posting more here.
Which raises the question: Why, exactly, haven’t I been writing more here? I guess the first few months of moving to OK from New York left me a bit shell shocked, to be honest. In addition to the change from city life to a more suburban one, it’s been strange going from a life in a place where I felt so rooted—through friends, work and everything—to a place where I feel strangely rhythm-less and disconnected. Even stranger is that NYC is filled with people who seem to be transitory, and it feels exactly the opposite here in OK. . .everyone is very, very rooted to where they are. Also, I never really figured out what I wanted to write here. I thought that I’d detail all the adventures I had in my strange new place. But, there haven’t been a lot of adventures, and this place (with some HUGE exceptions) isn’t really that strange. So, I guess I’m going to be writing about that.
