Jay Reatard Gets Wykked Retahded on New Single "Painted Shut"
Jay Reatard's second installment of his Matador Records 7" series is even better than the first...and that's saying a lot. The A-side "Painted Shut" is reminiscent of the more melodic songs on his brilliant 2006 album Blood Visions. It's the perfect mix of punk and pop music and when he sings "that's just retarded," pronouncing "retahded" as if he were a stereotypical Bostonian (Jay is from Memphis), I can't help but giggle. Then again, if anyone can make it sound cool, it's Jay.
Matador has sold out of the limited edition "Painted Shut b/w An Ugly Death" 7", but you can still grab one or three from Goner.
