RIP Jay Reatard

Wow, what a sad start to the year. The earthquake in Haiti and this evening it was announced on multiple news sources that Jay Reatard was found dead. Jay Reatard was a terrific musician and had a number of associated acts. At only 29 years old, he had influenced a number of other musicians and gained a great following. He will be missed.

Thoughts go out to the friends and family of Jay Reatard, as well as to all those affected by the earthquake in Haiti. If you can please donate if you can, here are a few places you can donate to.
