- Jay Reatard will give you an mp3 if you give him your (junk) email address over at his brand new (relaunched) website… here. He also put together a new single series, created a fan club, released a new video, and compiled an album of early material. Dang.

- I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned the latest ultradeluxe reissue from Sub Pop yet, a reworked and retitled Way Of The Vaselines. The reissue Enter The Vaselines features re-mastered versions of all the songs released by Mr. Captain America/Eugenius (Eugene Kelly) and Ms. Frances McKee a/k/a The Vaselines, also demos and a live recordings from 1986 and 1988. Nice. It comes out on May 5th and will no doubt rock many a Cinco de Mayo party. Maybe not. Oh and did I mention the cover art is in color this time?
