He played fast, he played loud, and in the early days of YouTube, his every move was documented. Obviously there were prolific punks before him, but Jay standardized the practice of putting out tons of music under several names in the internet age. He never seemed to oversaturate the market, either, since his audience kept coming back for more. His absence is jarring, but his influence—both sonically and structurally—is still palpable in garage punk circles.
After Jay broke up with bandmate Alicja Trout, the band fell apart in short order. Their final tour in ended badly—there was a physical altercation between Jay and Alicja. He was in a " really, really bad place " when he temporarily decamped to Atlanta later that year. Ten years later, the result is still a revelation. The album is a portrait of a moony-eyed murderer. As a boy, he starts attacking his own family. When he falls in love, he lurks in the shadows and watches her from afar.

So I just played my LP since. The one time I saw him play was unforgettable. RIP Jay. Favorite track: Death Is Forming. Jay really knew how to combine the punk attitude with really well-crafted songs that sound developed despite most of them being 2 minutes or less. Favorite track: Oh It's Such a Shame. He's the kind of dickhead I look up to as he did not give a single solitary fuck about anything other than music. Whether it was an interview, album promo, or whatever, he was just himself.
Until you've had visions of your own blood spattered on the wall in front of you, you're a long way from ever comprehending this album. Nightmares I See You Standing There We Who Wait Adverts cover Fading All Away Turning Blue Puppet Man Waiting For Something hyperfileshare Jay is getting huge.
