What can I say about Jay Reatard at this point that someone else hasn't already said?  A truly great talent, wrote a ton great songs, and left this planet too early.  The title track is one of my all-time favorites by him and gets stuck in my head quite often.  The first track on the other side, "It's So Useless," might be even better than the lead single to be honest.  And the final song, "All Wasted," is the weakest of the three, but still worthy.  I think I bought this at one of his shows when I was living in SF.
