I hung out with Ryan Wong and Matt Army last night: ate burritos, drank booze, listened to records and talked about when the Gamblers had their reunion at the South End and Jay blasted everybody with a fire extinguisher ending the show and making everyone want to kill him.

The new DU that Ryan recorded out in the desert is ass ripping. Straight up cholla in your rectum.

i've never owned this on vinyl. only the cd and dubbed tape that i actually got from my wife when we were still communting between vegas and new york. so stoked to finally be getting this. i think i'll get some burritos and booze when it comes in the mail.

Same here... but thanks, Jay and MRR for my CD copy... it still has the post-it with "RY" in Tim's writing on it. Soundtrack to many burritos and booze sessions in San Francisco...

rema young, huh?

how is it that you two never had copies of this?

there's a lot of records out there, dude.

i sold my copy along with the rest of my jaytard records when he said my wife was too ugly for a dog to bite.

matt army showing up in york, pa last year was both weird and awesome.

bought it new

and you still pre-ordered this edition, didn'tcha?

Just went to go see the "Better than Something" movie.
Was pretty good.

was it actually Better than Something?

rema young, huh?

Great...impending identity theft.

was it actually Better than Something?

Waiting for Something had good extra interviews posthumous from family and friends. Great to see on the big screen: Alicja, Alix, Lindey, Andria, Bomar, Eric & Zac at the Lamplighter (was in the orig. small screen youtubes, I believe, but on the big screen, GREAT!). Sisters were great and telling.
Some extra show footage that seemed a little gratuitous (if I remember correctly, the same songs "all over again"), but as I told my wife, "well, this is it; you ain't gonna see him anymore".

First time I've ever seen Larry Hardy. Thought he was more grizzled, but he's our age.

P.S., Goner:
There are some releases I want, including this ( I already have Teenage Hate on record, and have had "Fuck Elvis..." for a while). I still want it; don't care if it's clear or black. Just want it. I'll have money one day soon. Please save me a copy of:
Quintron and this.
Or sell it if it's the last copy and dude has money. But please save me a copy until next week after I get paid.
Still serious about that Slayer box set, too.

just arrived in the mail. sick.

"punk ethnics"

Just got this today. FUCKKK

it's shipped.....waiting patiently by the mailbox.

and you still pre-ordered this edition, didn'tcha?

I bought it new too and preordered this edition. Didn't have much choice though with the 2nd slab attached!

same here - can't live in a world knowing 'fuck elvis' exists on vinyl but not in my record collection

was hoping it would be on my doorstep when i got home today - but alas i'll have to wait another day

Bonus LP is great!!!

my second lp sounds all fucked up. is there something wrong with it?

Tried downloading the MP3s using the code provided -- doesn't work.

Bazooka- hope not. It's from cassette. Ones we've sampled have been fine.

Or are you joking? (Always a good one in the world of lo-fi punk.)

Something IS wrong with the MP3 code deal... we're bugging United to get with it.

;)

IN HONOR OF...

RIP donktard.

Still waiting. Probably won't be long tho ...

i love how side one ends and the turntable auto-return takes about half a second to kick in. same thing side two? i'll know in a few more minutes. damn, what a geeky post.

yup. i think. wasn't keeping track due to drinks.

You are a fucking record nerd Joe. This is the only time that I've ever actually checked the delivery status of one of my orders. It's almost here. Excited.

bose headphones, eames lounge chair, smoking jacket, slippers, pipe, cognac, 'tards...

....porno on the tube, needle in your arm, drool on your face, shit in your shorts.

...flower behind your ear.

Any update? I want to listen to this in my car.

Got mine today. Listened to the first record over and over. It's just killer. GREAT packaging. I love this record.

wish someone wouldve told me fuck elvis existed before, great stuff!!!

Goddamn postman better by packing...

Eric Oblivian's (née Friedl) Goner Records shop acted as Reatard's library

Uh yeah...someone send them a timeline.

When are we going to put out a Goner Magazine already? Pitchfork is only so so.

"Eric Oblivian's (née Friedl) Goner Records shop acted as Reatard's library"

Is this also the first place he discovered his idol- Kurddt Cobain?

yeah, it's called wipeout and you can get them on ebay. :)

Just a heads up...download code is working. Putting this badass record on my ipod right now.

fyi, it sounds better when you play the vinyl...

THROUGH HEADPHONES!

WITH THE HEADPHONE JACK SHOVED UP YOUR ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mailman finally came through! Listened to the whole 2nd LP while making dinner last night! Definitely a must have and the sound was a lot better than I was expecting after reading some of the comments. Can't believe this is the first time on vinyl! Thanks Goner!

Also, the most amusing part was that I heard the song where he sounds like Cobain.

you didn't get it.

I got your joke dude!! I was more thinking of the pitchfork reviewer. Not sure why I would let any of that filter into my brain as valid though....

Matt Army RULES!

fyi, it sounds better when you play the vinyl...


ON WEEEEEED....

(all records sound better this way)

So what's the next Jay Reatard release gonna be? I assume Matador's got the rights to whatever unreleased stuff he recorded after he signed with them. There's no way they wouldn't put something out if they have the songs. Anybody got any info on this?

There's an album and a 45 that I think completes his "Shattered Records Singles Club" or whatever it was that he had planned. 1st Lost Sounds 45 is coming from Goner, Lost Sounds "Greatest Hits" collection from Fat Possum.

Thanks Eric.

But what do you mean by "there's an album"? There is a full album's worth of unreleased songs? Are these the last songs he recorded? Were they supposed to be the songs to follow-up Watch Me Fall?
