Jay Reatard - What's In My Bag? 

weird how i miss someone ive never met so fucking much

I always come back to watch this episode every once in a while.

Ill never forget seeing Jay play at Amoeba in Hollywood...he had a ton of snacks and beers on stage and tossed a single brew out in the crowd and I caught it, got the nod of approval and pounded it...the vato behind me totally wanted to kill me cause I made a major leap for that brew.

I didn't know where to express this feeling so I'm just going to say it here. The single greatest loss in the entire history of modern music. He was brilliant from the word go, quickly became a genius, and never ever stopped creating, evolving, improving and expanding. He was utterly relentless, an energy and drive never seen before or since. The thought of what he could have done in another 10/15/20 years is just frightening. I honestly believe he would have taken the whole world by now.

Abba is underrated for their musicianship their production is also hauntingly beautiful.

Dang. I knew he was a phenomenal musician, but I didn't know he was so down the earth... In a disturbed, drug infused way. Man when he pulled out a galaxy 500 record it really hit me. RIP

Glad this is still up. R.I.P. Jay. We still love you, dude ❤

God I love seeing actual record stores. I pray people get back into them on a mass scale because there was nothing like vinyl records in the past, the artwork on the albums, physically seeing the record spin not to mention the quality of sound being a million times better than digital shit.

"Sounds REALLY good on drugs." Rest in peace Jay.

I didn't know him ,but I miss him ...

Nothing quite beats finding an artist and discovering they’ve been on this show ❤

RIP. I still listen all the time. Anytime I make a mixtape for someone new he makes the cut.

RIP Jay. You're the man.

I've been hip to this mans music for a little while so I'm shocked just now realizing that he's dead. Rest In Peace he seemed like a really cool guy.

I keep coming back to this video. I don't know why cuz I always end up bummed out by the end. He seemed like such a geniune dude. and the last three albums he released are future classics.

damn i miss jay! there will never be anyone like him again.

This makes me so sad to watch. RIP Jay, great musician and apparently great music taste also.

jay was a fucking great legend. especially to those who don't believe in themselves. I like how he buys an abba album and other albums without worrying about the people will see him. he was so awesome we'll never see him again. sorry. I just hate how when I go to my local record store there's all these fucking hipsters with leather jackets looking at me like I don't belong there but bitch I can play over eight instruments I love music.

He died 8 days before this was uploaded...

man. always hear about this guy and have never gotten around to listening to him. he got me with these picks though, scientists, galaxie 500 and abba!

Jay is rocking on the heaven now

Syd Barrett. The original leader of Pink Floyd and one of the most beautiful and brilliant artists to ever exist. Released 2 solo albums and one with the Floyd. Lost his mind from being too pressured and taking copious amounts of acid. Just melted his fuckin' brain.

my god. what an amazing talent and human being. it hurts every day that hes gone, like a close friend. god is cruel.

Dude was the real deal. Just wish he was still here. Music sucks today.

really wish his career had not of been cut short

When I was living in Columbus Ohio , I used to frequent this sleazy bar called Bernies Distillery and Bagels😐 In the daytime it was homeless drunks and at night..ummmm. Different. You never knew. One night I walked in and 5 black metal bands from Chicago...$5.😐 I got into the habit of side lining the $5 entrance charge. I would be like I don't give a fuck about music...want to slam beers...i can just go next door. Worked for awhile. One of those nights Jay Reatard. Never heard of him. But it was so good afterwards I hunted him down and told him so. He gave me a card with a # I wish I still had but life happened. True story.

Seeing Jay in a striped shirt in front of a poster of Kurt also in a striped shirt is so uncanny! Both were talented musicians, grew up in screwed up neighborhoods, did drugs, and left this Earth at a young age

At one point in the video you can see Syd Barrett, Jay, and Kurt Cobain in the same frame.... just sayin.

Dont let our youth go to waste, along with jim and kurt over his shoulder, made this crazy for synchronicity. that last shot was like a goodbye

Jay's "whats in my bag" was the best because he didn't fill it with old underground music to show just so he seems deep or whatever

RIp Jay. Miss you bro.

i loooove jayy the reatarfd

I think that's the morbid beauty of the harsh cut. He was so alive, and then just died. I'm just bummed I never got to see him live.

The sniffing is sad to see. This dudes vibe is straight out of the 90's. Rad hair. Peace brother.

when I heard this scientists song (00:34'') for the first time I was kind of... MESMERIZED for a while 

Rest In Peace man

Jay I miss you R.I.P

rest in peace.

Jay was a real one

How did I know Jay would give Detroit props. MC5.

All these albums r great

Oh man... that ending. I know he's gone but that was HARSH, how it just cut from him being so alive to RIP... fucked up shit man, I hope none of us have to face that fate for a while yet

Love and miss you Jay.

Oh woah, he was 30 when he died. Still looked like mid 20's

R.I.P. Buddy u where legend Somebodysomething.

Rip legend

RIP jay!

Hammer, I miss you.

RIP

RIP in peace Jay Leno

Back In The USA is a thin sounding record but it still kicks ass. It's kind of a shame that High Time was their last studio record. They were finally getting to a decent place with their production.

hes high in this r.i.p hommie

I have the sads now

you all messed up jay , i feel very sorry for you it ended up that way !!!

R.I.P

Love you, bud

seems like a real cool dude

Feel good hit of the summer

rip jay

miss you man.

Miss him......

Happy Birthday

Man I wanna go to this record store

5 fucking years!!!

Aloong with Kurt Cobain on the wall, Nick Drake, a 70s folk artist (died at a young age due to drug overdose) is bearing a wild resemblance to Jay on the cover of "watch me fall'

Yea! ABBA!

garage punk legend

what's the song between 3:04 until the end??

this was uploaded on my 17th birthday

"Always pass them up, but lately I've been on a kick. Blame it on a girl or something, you know?" Yes I do know. RIP man.

was this filmed literally just weeks before he died?

@1Sifting that was brilliant. it must've taken you all day to come up with that!!

cool guy

rip

he's the kind of new Ian Curtis of our time

you feel like he's still around

@narrowsparrow Persuaders "s/t" LP on Savage Records. Jay's label, Shattered Records, reissued it on CD with some live tracks as "Forced To F*ck" (2006).

what song is playing immediately after he says 'going back to production... abba'"?

Jay and Kurt at 0:6 Dream

@Sexandrugful nope. i found date of the original footage. it was actually right after he died

YEAH GALAXIE 500!

2:28 They even sell Charlie Patton CD's there? holy cow

just over his shoulder, in the background is a poster of kurt cobain...

R.I.P.

cool dude

anyone know the song at the end of the interview

RIP dude

Yessss Galaxie 500 rules

so fucking sad, very time appropriate post RIP- for a rising star

@totalignoranceinc It's called Swampland (2LP)

would love to like this video but it seems like a shame when it has 666 likes

dude looks like sam kinison.

@MlkePortnoy no its not, he was in a band called the reatards and after that he changed his name

Fuck I miss that guy.

xxxxxxxxoooooo. always

@tysondigital man... ABBA is one of the best loved pop bands by rockers... Primal Scream... Foo Fifghters... and an impressive list of names of (heavy or alternative) rockers are ABBA fans... It does not means a lot... heavy rockers often like calm stuff... Johnny Rotten (singer of the Sex Pistols) admitted that in reality he was a Pink Floyd and Van der Graaf Generator fan....as well as an Hawkwind and Bee Gees(pre-disco) fan... z fave band ever of Lemmy and Ozzy Osbourne is the Beatles!

Happy birthday James Lee Lindsey Jr., you died too young!

The Scientist track that was playing sounds very Barrett-esque.

whats the song that started when he brought out the ABBA record?

All the signs were there
