Jay Reatard: An American Poet (1943 ~ 1971) »

Life is about change, my friends. Jeff Retard was a strong boy. It is tough to understand what Gerard Cosloy can do to a man. If Jim Morrison and Nick Drake had a child, it would have looked a hell of a lot like the late Mr. Reatard. But life is […]

Ranking the best albums by The Beatles »
