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).
