I think Jay Reatard is trying to say something about his mom

By Jason Diamond »

. . .And maybe bedwetting too. I think Freud would have had a good old time dissecting the meaning behind this video for "It Ain't Gonna Save Me" off his upcoming album, Watch Me Fall.

this sounds like his best Blink 182 attempt

how'd you guess

The first 59 seconds showcase Reatard's overt castration anxiety. The remaining 2:30 showcase his attempt at grabbing a gilded brass ring. At least he's just coming out and saying how this isn't going to save him. I downloaded the album a week ago and it's all filler, no killer. Maybe he should have titled it "Watch Me Fail" instead. Endnotes: 1. At least there was a pseudo juggalo in this video. 2. The mother in this video sort of looks like Nina Hartley. That's something I can respect.
