布魯克林的獨立廠牌Factory 25即將於年底發行獨立音樂人Jay Reatard的紀錄片《Better Than Something: Jay Reatard》與未公開發表過的音樂合輯，Reatard在2010年以29歲的年紀殂逝，生前他以奔放的車庫搖滾創作與直言不諱的說話風格著稱。迷幻樂團Deerhunter的主唱Bradford Cox曾寫歌〈He Would Have Laughed〉向他致敬，收錄在該團的專輯《Halcyon Digest》當中。

After growing up fast among Memphis crack addicts, he managed to blaze a path through the rough-and-tumble underground rock scene of the early aughts, releasing over 100 singles, EPs and full-length records in fourteen years. Then on January 13, 2010, not yet 30, he died. With their feature documentary Better Than Something, filmmakers Alex Hammond and Ian Markiewicz let Jay tell his own story: a poverty-stricken childhood, teen years spent as a two-fisted tunesmith battling fans and band mates alike, and a short-lived adulthood of focused and relentless productivity. Jay said "I just try to make as much as I can with the time that I have." By any measure, that is exactly what he did. Better Than Something is both a testament to Jay Reatard's indisputable legacy and a tribute to his vital, thrilling, and all-too-brief life. Music by: Jay Reatard, Lost Sounds, Destruction Unit, Reatards and Oblivians
