S2 Ep1: Pavement's Stephen Malkmus and Scott Kannberg on "Slanted & Enchanted"

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of 'One Track Mind,' Railroad Jerk’s own Marcellus Hall and Dave Varenka join host (and personal friend) Matt Sweeney in conversation for the latest episode of the Matador Revisionist History Podcast. They look back on recording the album with Settly in Manhattan's Tin Pan Alley, late nights at Max Fish, some fond memories from tour, including the time when everyone in the caravan got stalled at the border of Slovenia except for Dave and Marcellus, which led to one of the best shows of their careers in Ljubljana.

In the latest episode of the Matador Revisionist History Podcast, Dead Meadow's Jason Simon joins host Matt Sweeney (Chavez, The Hard Quartet) to discuss the 20th anniversary of 'Feathers,' the album's slightly-troubled recording process, remembering founding bassist Steve Kille, as well as the influence of D.C. hardcore, Trad Gras och Stenar, and 13th Floor Elevators.

On the latest episode of the semi-semi-regular Matador Revisionist History Podcast, we are joined by Bardo Pond founder and guitarist Michael Gibbons, Carbon Records founder, longtime WAYO host and Bardo-ologist Joe Tunis, and our podcast host Matt Sweeney (Chavez, The Hard Quartet). The conversation marks the 25th anniversary reissue of ‘Set and Setting,’ plus the double LP rarities compilation ‘Melt Away,’ both out TODAY. Michael, Joe, and Matt dig into the earliest days of Bardo Pond— fighting (and then bonding) over a Lester Bowie LP with bassist Clint Takeda, opening for Smog and Royal Trux at Philadelphia’s Khyber Pass, and eventually even tuning their instruments.

Today, March 22nd, sees the release of the first tranche of remastered key catalog titles by legendary San Antonio, Texas band The Butthole Surfers on Matador Records: Psychic...Powerless...Another Man's Sac, Rembrandt Pussyhorse, and PCPPEP.

Last fall, we celebrated the 15th anniversary of Fucked Up’s ‘The Chemistry of Common Life’– an era-defining punk LP that also just so happened to be the Canadian band’s Matador Records debut. This Friday, our long-in-the-works orange vinyl 2xLP reissue will finally arrive on shelves. Find that ⁠HERE⁠.
