Reatard, known to friends and family as Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr., was the man behind such garage-pop classics as Blood Visions and this past year's Watch Me Fall. Currently, there is no report on the cause of death. He was 29 years old.

  2. His first name is Jimmy, not Jeremy. I hate sloppy journalism.
