Matador Records Spoofs Victory

[Jason Tate]

Matador Records (http://www.matadorrecords.com/news/index.html) has released (http://www.matadorrecords.com/images/news/tonymatador.jpg) an open letter to their street team.
(FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY : Gerard, do NOT PUT THIS ON THE BLOG)

Dear Team,
Strong first day numbers for Yo La Tengo's 'I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass', as expected, what with that fucking whirly-bird contest and all the good press we paid for. But before you dislocate your shoulders patting yourselvess on the fucking back, keep in mind that we're still fighting a losing battle at the big boxes, where this album is still pretty hard to find.

I'm expecting a progress report no later than 3pm today about what sort of mischief our regional kids have been up to in the past 24 hours. I thought we'd made the point that hiding the new John Mayer, Black Keys and Mars Volta CD's wasn't merely some kind of rock biz sabotage mission, but could in fact, be framed as an "us vs. them" schism. Indie vs. major. Indie vs. other indie. Me vs. you. You vs. not having a fucking job. Please don't make me spell this out for you any further.

I'm also told there is no stock at the Borders on Church Street. Enough with the excuses, already, it's been five fucking years.

OK. I'm off to lift weights. You can reach me on the Fuckberry. I want digital pix of those Black Keys and Mars Volta discs hidden in the country section, I'm not kidding around. You should be very afraid of me and I will kick your ass.

That was a joke, by the way. You'd better fucking laugh.

Tony Matador

Matador Records fan's and Victory fans are different. For example Matador's street teamers read books and go to collage. While Victory street teamers tell their mom's they hate them for not driving them to the mall to hide the new Neyo cd.
