The Frustrations + Thomas Function - 10.12.08

Author: Gordon Post Date: October 15 2008Tonite, in case you haven’t heard, Jay Reatard (radio edit: Jay Lets get it started) is going to play a distorted guitar and yelp. Maybe he’ll throw a fit.
Couldn’t resist. I’m sure he’ll be a gentleman for Detroit. $10 (secretly $12) will get you in.
From what I hear: “In the ’90s Reatards turned the Memphis underground rock scene upside down with a legendary live show so over-the-top that they were banned in a number of European countries.”
Europe: “‘Elo, ‘oo is this, then?”
Memphis: “HELLO?! IS THIS EUROPE?”
Europe: “Oui”
Memphis: “Golly! Some punk named is JAY RETARRRD is causin’ quite a ruckus over here!”
Europe: “Vould joo say it ees ovar zee top?”
Memphis: “Why yes! That’s exactly how we would put it”
Europe: “Very well, we shall ban him in several of our countries.”


These pictures represent my knowledge of Europe and Memphis.
