     Matator/Capitol is distributed by EMI Music Distribution...and I can
     say we (especially me) have been on the Belle & Sebastian tip since
     Sinister was released in the U.S. back in April.

     I anxiously awaited B&S's decision on their U.S. label and was
     ecstatic that they chose Matador which is a perfect fit.

     BTW I've gotten a surplus of double-sided Sinister posters if anyone
     wants them email me (sorry, but if you're outside the U.S. there is a
     dilemma regarding postage.)

     Keepin' it real,
     Leslie.

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?"
