And the Frogs 'Now I Know You're Black' 7". And the "Dirt of Luck." For such a well known label, there really are quite a few under-appreciated records.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13491287265332986800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33368744.post-69678605921411145002009-07-31T02:42:05.690-04:002009-07-31T02:42:05.690-04:00hey people like Cornelius!

Is some huge Kustomized fan going to post here next?<br /><br />Seriously though, Marisa and Mr. Selzer both have impeccable taste and I gladly allow them to school my readers and myself.<br /><br />Matador mishaps? Well, supposedly someone shared a very uncomfortable cab ride with Mark E Smith back in the mid-90s. And as much as I enjoy the Matablog, the fact that it's not Escandalo! upsets me.PBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129471960577860407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33368744.post-64141588782015072752009-07-30T14:20:03.482-04:002009-07-30T14:20:03.482-04:00Firstly,I thought that you were going to include t...Firstly,I thought that you were going to include the 18th dye.Secondly, I think Ray Ray Rain was a bigger hit for Bettie Serveert than Tomboy. Also, Love of Diagrams is pretty good, but their cover of Cool doesn't touch Pylon's original.And what Pylon fan is really gonna cover Cool!? I mean, it's good and all, but REM clearly knew where it was at with "Crazy". I'd personally go for "Volume" or "Altitude" .They're good though I guess. Now I vote for a list of Matador's most misguided mishaps...I'll start you off...The Arsonists...Non Phixion..Cornelius....Marisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33368744.post-82175798049799779632009-07-30T13:59:25.282-04:002009-07-30T13:59:25.282-04:00Like Undertaker off Admonishing.
