Matador ain't a bad label by any means. It seems like they have a pretty good A&R guy recruiting their talent.
Although, I'd say that there is only 2-3 songs on this comp I'm interested in checking out.

Hmmm....very little I want here. In the battle of the big bloated indies, I'll take Sub Pop over Matador any day.
