Rocker of the Day: "It Ain't Gonna Save Me"

A few weeks ago Jay Reatard took his own life, and while his second album Watch Me Fall is filled with jangly punk rock numbers, the lyrics and tone of the album have taken on a whole new meaning since then. "It Ain't Gonna Save Me" is a bubbly clap-along head nodder, but when the bridge starts in with "All is lost there is no hope", it becomes a maudlin farwell address.
