Hey, it's a music forum. We debate these things. I have uber-respect for
Alex, obviously. Alex knows his shit.

And yet - I just think he hasn't either heard the right Jay Reatard
material, or has already decided he ain't gonna like it, no matter what
comes across his plate.

I mean - the guy died at 29 and al his output in various band titles
came out last decade. he was on the cusp of "beak out artist" before his
death -- but the idea to me that a song by My Chemical Romance cold rump
any single sng the man did in the past decade makes my jaw drop.

LET'S FIGHT ABOUT IT!!!!
