Sinister: B&S on Matador

[todd]

the problem with getting the list in digest form is that everyone has
already responded to the threads that catch your eye, so by the time to
chime in with your American indie-rock knowledge, its already exhausted.

but I'm still chiming in anyway.

Matador will be a good home in America for B&S.  As already noted, it is
the home to Pavement.  In addition to that they also are home to Guided by
Voices, Liz Phair, Chavez, Cat Power, etc.  I believe they have a good
distribution deal with Elektra or Atlantic (sorry to bring the biz into
this, but we want B&S to have the widest distribution possible, right?)
The artists get autonomy on Matador, so no one will be butting in saying
"ummm...could you make this a little more like third eye blind?"
