God help us...

Matador's website is promising a full length stream of God Help The Girl by God Help The Girl (Stuart Murdochian side-projection), but at the moment all we're seeing is 30 second clips. Hopefully that'll be sorted soon.

Download delights

Matador Records are currently offering a niftily-zipped downloadable version of their annual sampler album. Including Cat Power, The New Pornographers, The Jicks and - as they'd say if they were flogging it on the telly - much, much more.

Matadors arising

The lovely Matador label has been doing things for eighteen years, which means it can go out drinking on its own. To celebrate, it's inviting you to design a new tshirt for the label. The prize is probably better than having to meet Kelly Osbourne on Project Catwalk.
