I like some of the bands on Matador but it doesn't make like or dislike the company. I couldn't care less where SY signs as long as they get good distribution, artistic freedom and a fat check.
|
Good. Hopefully they do more experimental.
|
I think it's a good choice. Thay have a good distribution, i assume they won't interfare with the artistic freedom and i don't know about the check.
All i know is that the new Cat Power was easy to find in stores in my country and Rather Ripped was not! |
Fuck yes, Matador is already my favourite non-electronica label, and now my favourite band are signed! Awesome stuff.
Warp is my favourite label of all time though. |

listening NYCG&F on geffen, I can't think in sonic youth under a negative label influence about freedom :-) |

it's nice trade off though..i'd rather have the matador logo on the back of a sy cd instead of a gigantic fbi anti-piracy logo...that's just me though |

I couldn't agree more, Moshe. |

"The last two or three albums, I focused on making concise, avant-garde pop/rock songs that had some accessibility factor," Moore said. "But Universal wasn't really able to work them beyond critics. So I told our manager, 'Maybe we should make a longer-form record of more experimental music,' and he's like, 'No, no! Now you can put that record out of songs, songs, songs, because Matador can really deal with them.'" how bout half songs half experimental tracks? Like Thurston's TOTA buth then with the experimental tracks worked out more. Mabey it's time for a true follow-up of ATL. |
K Recs has long been my favorite... but the last couple years, meh. Nowadays most of the stuff they put out that I'm really into is 7"s.
|
Any new material will surely be good, it's nice to know in advance when it's planned to be available like this.
|
matador has awful bands too, you know?
if something gets on my tits is label worship. |
yep.
Most of the matador roster sucks. Doesn't really make a difference what label SY signs to.. I'm just sayin'. |
so matador has cat power, bardo pond, cornelius, guitar wolf, guided by voices, mission of burma, pavement, pussy galore, etc etc
plus al the bands they distribute (annd yes a liot of these are back catalogue but still good) what's not to like? |

you people are crazy mission of burma yo la tengo pavement SM cat power dead meadow times new viking lou reeds doing something now, and chavez and the frogs released shit on it too. |
Quote:
They all seem active and fine though, I'm just kind of unsure why they only signed for one album. |

I just thought of something awesome. Matador tends to put out 7" singles.
|
I gotta say I'm not real surprised on this one... makes sense, I guess. I'm just excited about the new record. You know, I was kinda hoping it would be Fat Possum.

yeah, but they also have love of diagrams, lavender diamond (granted, they only had an amazing ep i love dearly but the full lenght was awful), mogwai who have gone pretty much downhill in my opinion since rock action, brightback smelly hippie or whatever they're called, the new pornographers, and i mean actively. the only one right now you mentioned that's in the label now is cat power. fuckers also dropped bardo pond (they didn't sell records, eh? NO SHIT!! you should have known ever since you first listened to them!). anyhoo, independetly of my personal feelings towards matador, no label is god. matador, geffen, same shit for sonic youth. (i don't get me the 'creative freedom" thing, thurston is just goofing around as always...having released a thousand leaves, nycg&f and murray street on a major is pretty much the most freedom any band has enjoyed in a major since the 70's). ---- i was hoping for kiddieriot but, eh, you know... |
Hahaha.
Everyneurotic wins. |
the best record ever released on matador was tful282's "mother of all saints".
|
jeez.. im always the 36th to find out these things!!!
and i am blind as a....have i mentioed that before.. im posting this in braille!! |
Joining Matador seems like a full circle with Gerard Cosloy back in the 1980s when Youth were on Homestead Records... just finished the Browne bio on SY was just wondering the future of SY after the release of Rather Ripped... perhaps now they can really do whatever they want and move towards a new album close to the current noise/psych folk/whatever scene championed by the guys..

NO FUCKING WAY!!! GOOD FOR THEM!! this is great news, matador is a decent label, i hope this helps the band. damn, this was from how long ago? but better late than never. |
I loved Matador.....when I was in like, the 10th grade.

ding-ding give the man his prize money! |
Maybe they can tour with Mission of Burma now.
|
I just read on some website that Sonic Youth's next album is going to be recorded high on weed on a 4 track with acoustic guitars.
|
Quote:
That would be a fucking awesome tour. And also would be nice for Burma because apparently they are pretty poor. Roger Miller's been giving guitar lessons in Boston for extra cash. |
Quote:
I would imagine he could command a pretty massive fee for that. |
Quote:
Sure, and they could call it "The Freed Youth"... |
I was thinking Guided By Youth.
I also heard they were going to change their name to Crack Concrete and start using wacky synths, quirky vocals, and 2 drummers. |

crack concrete is an excellent name for a band.....
"patent pending, patent pending" |

Don't scare me, they already did that once, and it's not exactly my favorite record. |
Great news. It was thanks to Matador artists (Pavement, Yo La Tengo) that I came to know about Sonic Youth many years ago.
