Today’s show is dedicated to Jay Reatard and Vic Chesnutt. These two important characters on the modern rock’n’roll scene died recently. Jay Reatard died in his sleep on January 13 this year and Vic Chesnutt died from a muscle relaxant overdose on December 25. Jay was 29 and Vic was 45. We lost much more than just two rock’n’roll musicians. We lost leaders of the scene, relevant guys who moved and shook things around with every record they put out. On the other hand, the two are diametrically opposite. Jay wrote short, loud songs, did great singles and recently injecting some healthy dose of reformation of the rock album format. On the other hand Vic was a leader of the loose pack of new folk authors and singer songwriters, finding a new way to tell the old stories of despair and pain. They left shoes that will be impossible to fill in.

Today we have three new releases by three regular acts here at the Little Lighthouse. Mission of Burma’s new LP The Sound The Speed The Light confirms that they are more than just another 80s reunion. I still remember vividly their amazing open air concert here in Cleveland this summer. Greg Cartwright’s Reigning Sound are also back with their new album Love and Curses, and it re-establishes Cartwright as one the greatest songwriters at this point in history. Another prolific Memphis punk, Jay Reatard has a new album called Watch Me Fall. This master of short form (singles and eps), proves that he can do a long player just as well. We also bring you a new attraction from Perth Australia – smRts, founded by Pedja Delibasic who we know from defunct Soviet Valves.

Welcome to a new Little Lighthouse episode, this time full with interesting new (and not so new) records. Preparing one of my previous shows, I came across the news that Austin TX band Glass Eye had a brand new record in 2006. So, I promptly got it and here it is in the brand new Flashlite Lighthouse. News comes to us that Chick Graning’s old ’90s band Scarce is back in the studio. Their new myspace page pleasantly surprised me with several brand new demos, so we check that out in this show. Our contemporary favorites Bellrays and Jay Reatard are back with new stuff: The Bellrays have a new CD out called Hard, Sweet and Sticky and Jay has a new 45. And last, but not least, we introduce a brand new band from France, Jack of Heart.
