I'm with secretx on this one. I've pushed for Matador with Tom. I even got him to speak with Ira Kaplan from Yo La Tengo who's obviously satisfied with Matador. Eventhat didn't alter his opinion of the indies.
He really should reconsider. I can think of a couple bands not happy with Matador (The For Carnation, Silkworm) who are quite happy with Touch & Go.
As for our other Michael's point--being surprised that he _has_ fans after all this time--it is what we do. Something speaks to us, and we're going to cherish it and never forget it.
OT:(Even Jandek has fans, and I count myself among them...but then Jandek's been self-releasing about an album a year since 1978. I don't think he makes a living from it, though--then again, we're not really sure who or what "Jandek" is...)
