Watcherikcarter:
I never met Jay Reatard in person but I was fortunate enough to have my video picked to be one of his official music videos. The video opened a number of doors for me, and in a way I feel indebted to Jay for choosing it. Blood Visions is hands down one of the best records to come out in the past 10 years. He will be missed.
RIP Jay.
