Matador Records’ Gerard Cosloy doesn’t give a shit who you think are the most noteworthy bands in Austin. You can take that Spoon and shove it up your ass! Cosloy’s much anticipated Austin comp, called Casual Victim Pile (”Casual Victim Pile” = “Live Music Capital”, get it? Good one there Rose Clad Orgy!), will be officially released on January 26. It features 17 local artists, and two from Denton, that occasionally stumble out of Beerland’s cave to blink at the daylight - let’s just hope they sound better on the record than they do in Red River’s hallowed cinderblock fortress. We do have to give Cosloy credit for his awesome comments on naming the album in the press release today, though: “I was also advised that while ‘Please Kill Bob Schneider’ rolls off the tongue rather nicely, Matador’s legal fees might skyrocket if someone did indeed, harm a hair on the multi-talented singer-songwriter’s head.” Ouch. Watch out Cosloy - there’s a rabid pack of sorority girls coming for you! As we prepare for the album to school us on the proper Austin Sound, we get a taste of two of the tracks from the upcoming comp. First off, Follow That Bird! delivers “The Ghosts That Wake You”, which kicks off the album, and then Love Collectors (who for some reason changed their name from the Modern Fuckers) deliver their punky little tirade “First 48.” Awesome. Full previously announced tracklist below, and more info on the Matador blog.

Ughhh!!!! didn’t Colsoy sign Spoon to Matador for their first record and give them their big break…even I know that. Why? do they need to be on his comp of young bands.
I think he’s done enough for Spoon.

hmm, think you mistakenly read this post with your serious goggles on, dude.
O sorry I will take those goggles off
actually I agree with you “It features 17 local artists, and two from Denton, that occasionally stumble out of Beerland’s cave to blink at the daylight - let’s just hope they sound better on the record than they do in Red River’s hallowed cinderblock fortress.”
