- sounds like this n that ...

Jay Reatard - Gamma Ray (Beck)

robbie formerly (ymotg.com) recommended me Jay Reatard yesterday, he sounds kinda like ummmm , devo, talking heads, delta 5, violent femmes, sonic youth, B52's, The Specials, The Cure, Beck etc etc etc an whole heap of old new wave & indie stuff, an the crazy thing about it is, for the most part, it appears to bizarrely capture those sounds an some , but you be the judge of that.

"Having founded seminal Memphis punk outfit Reatards at the tender age of sixteen, Jay Reatard is a seasoned veteran of the garage-punk scene and he’s barely twenty-six years old. In the ’90s Reatards turned the Memphis underground rock scene upside down with a legendary live show so over-the-top that they were banned in a number of European countries." - wiki....

an i know im probably the last person on earth to probably hear Jay Reatard... meh, i dont know, but i do know that its out of this world though and on constant replay at home rite now... an this Beck cover (download here) is just nuts, so turn it up or somethen ....

you can listen to a pile of Jay Reatards music on hype machine or his myspace an read his wiki.... yey, for new music ...

ps hat tip to robbie
pps one more track ..Fluorescent Grey - Reatard.mp3

- Oh boy, I've imagined this

So I'm on the Deagon Deviation
I see this dog
He's dodging cars
I pull up
I get out
I look everywhere on the shoulder for him
Everywhere..
I think..
Oh boy
I've imagined this

- Signs or symptoms? Commonly, they are…

I’ve come to terms with the fact that life is not easy. It doesn’t make sense, it’s not fair, it has no idea what a plan is.

I can remember reading a book 10 years ago maybe, called Quarter life crisis, it mostly sucked, actually it really sucked. Basically a collection of case studies of semi well off kids who are depressed coming out of college, who really cant do shit to help themselves, i only got to about page 2, then put the book down because it was all irrelevant. The bottom list is a collection of symptoms of QLC i stumbled across over at tumblr somewhere... okay ima go thru this

1. Feeling like you’re not doing well enough - i only felt like this once in my life an that was a long time ago, an it didnt relate to work or others opinions
2. Frustration & disillusionment with the working world - sure i get lazy with it, but doesnt everyone
3. Feeling insecure about what you’re doing, where you’re going & what your plans are - Hell No
4. Anxiety over close relationships - huh
5. Feeling extremely bored with your social life - sometimes i do , but i cant complain when i choose to sit inside an play video games n stuff all day
6. Nostalgia for teenage years, high school or university - Jesus, id rather be skinned with a spoon an drowned in petrol, then even remotely have to think about those times. infact most ppl i went to school with suck the hot hard one , im sure of it ...
7. Feeling a desperate need to "settle down" , like buy a house - check , but not really
8. Conversely, wanting to 'escape' to the real world - going to work , paying bills, dealing with shit is the real world
9. Financial stress or confusion - not really, however rates, body corp etc really really suck
10. Intense loneliness - i know alone, we are good mates
11. Feeling that everyone is doing better than you - Hell No
12. Terror at the concept of getting "old" - getting old means getting closer to retirement, which means my log cabin in the woods .. lets go now
13. Wondering "Is that all there is?" - sometimes i feel like this , but it was only once when i finished fable on the 360, way way wa to short
14. A vague feeling of apathy, mixed with horror, panic & depression - i feel these things when i see neighbours, home & away, friends etc on TV

Quarter Life Crisis - huh
