Various - Matador At 21
Review by Emily Elsie Popelaski
Matador At 21 is a compilation album featuring various artists from the independent record label, Matador Records. The album celebrates the label's 21st anniversary and includes tracks from some of its most notable acts such as Pavement, Sonic Youth, and Yo La Tengo.
The album captures the essence of Matador Records, which is known for its diverse roster of artists and their unique sounds. The tracks on the album range from lo-fi indie rock to experimental noise rock, showcasing the label's commitment to pushing boundaries and taking risks.
One standout track is "Gold Soundz" by Pavement, which perfectly encapsulates the band's signature slacker rock sound. Another highlight is "The Sprawl" by Sonic Youth, which features the band's trademark dissonant guitar riffs and Kim Gordon's haunting vocals.

Notes
- On September 28, on the eve of the label’s 21st anniversary celebration in Las Vegas, the Matador at 21 box set lands in stores. The limited-edition box contains five CDs documenting the history of the label with remastered songs released from 1989 through 2010, and one CD of unreleased live recordings from the Matador 10th Anniversary concerts in New York City in 1999. These were recorded to multitrack via the Rolling Stones Mobile Truck and not mixed down until now.
- As shown above, the set comes in a blue-grey foil-stamped linen-bound box. The six CDs sit in custom digipaks. An 85-page perfect-bound book documents the history of the label with essays, photos, ephemera, emails and more. In addition, the box holds 36 custom Matador poker chips in three values.
- The release has been assigned the catalog number OLE-1000, which is pushing it a little bit because we’re really only up to OLE-949 (the upcoming Kurt Vile 7″) in the main sequence. A budget-priced double vinyl set reproduces the contents of Disc 5, ‘Matador Today,’ and will be available on the same day as the box. All proceeds from the set will go to benefit three charities chosen by the label owners, enumerated at the bottom of this post. The artists have graciously agreed to donate their royalties as well in order to make this all possible.

@dashofchutmeg I know. I was there and I would pay dearly to have a good copy of that
<3 Mitch Mitchell
Good to see Ira's still making noise.
fuck gbv
El verdadero noise!!
Holy fuck, she's still hot as fuck!!!
MITCH!!!
Mitch Mitchell ROCKS.
Thanks for posting this. I put up a few from M21 myself including Autumn Sweater.
Actually it's a Jackson Browne cover... Thanks for the post.
That buzzing amp was driving me nuts!
oh my, i never thought i'd see greg demos' striped pants and tobin sprout's telecaster again! Long live GBV!!!
... and 11 years later I'm watching them perform this at their 8 nights of Hanukkah and realizing they haven't missed a beat. What a great band!
"Long live the Weed King" - the song is "Weed King"
If you ever get a wild hair and feel like uploading as much of the Chavez footage as you've got, I wouldn't totally mind.
Yeah mine too. We were walking out the door and I just happened to take one look back and saw the sign coming down.
I know! We happened to be walking out and the right time and I looked over my shoulder to see the sign one last time and it was disappearing. :(
The last few seconds of that are so sad. One of the best weekends of my life.
@johnbowie I showed up at the KU after the wedding and started recording because it looked like nobody else was. I couldn't get everything because my memory card was full. I have since changed my policy to always have extra batteries and cards with me since you never know what will happen!
ack, why the hell did I type "Nina"? I even had that song on a 7" when I was a kid after it came out.
@johnbowie Ah nice! That is you singing the Nina tune? If so I got a good chunk of the song on video. Click the "show more" link under the video above and follow the link to my humanclock website...I have it there.
I just found it. That's hysterical.
Holy fuck. That's me at 7:33! Do I know you?
Great footage, I was there and was awesome to be able to relive all of the "magic" of the weekend!
