See Saw 7''
Matador

Rating: 7.5 inmates with face tattoos out of 10
Thankfully (and I wish more bands/musicians did this) the good folks at Matador decided to compile all of their Jay Reatard singles into one full-length album, thus making this seven inch not quite as vital as they sometimes can be. That said, with the title track being one of my very favorite songs by Jay, when I saw it sitting in the used bin at a local record store for a decent price I figured why the hell not own it? Just because something is unnecessary doesn't mean it's not worth adding to the collection. WHY CAN'T I HAVE NICE THINGS TOO?!?
R.I.P. Jay - you were a damn fine songwriter and performer and drugs are stupid.
