“Dark Shadows” - Lost Sounds
We all loved Jay Reatard, of course. I went back and read a few of the things I wrote about him. In this one I suggested he change his stage name and record an acoustic album. Apparently he was going to do both! Here’s a 2008 interview I did with him at SXSW.
“Popular music is missing any sort of sense of spontaneity. It’s so contrived, it’s manufacturing a product. That’s why I’ve never recorded in a studio. I mean, how do you book creativity three months, four months ahead of time? How do you pre-pay for the moment you’re supposed to create something? Yeah, there’s no spontaneity to it, it’s boring”
