yeah, but we're talkin' about the guys who brought us pavement's 'slanted
and enchanted'.  don't know how long the major label ownership has been in
effect, but matador's always seemed like a label who did their best to
maintain the indie ethic and they seem to have let their artists retain
pretty fair control.

i think it's a good thing (if true).  13.99 beats 21.99 anyday.
