DEAR MATADOR: WE LOVE YOU TOO!

MATADOR RECORDS - ONE OF THE LONGEST RUNNING AND MOST RESPECTABLE INDIE LABELS OUT THERE -- HAD THE FOLLOWING TO SAY ABOUT THE TEENAGE MOODS LP AND THE RED PENS 7" IN THEIR NEWEST DISTRO UPDATE:

'TEENAGE MOODS - MOOD RING LP 25 DIAMONDS RECORDS
Minneapolis grunge pop. Silk-screened sleeves in a numbered edition of 300.

RED PENS - NEXT SUMMER b/w I RUN THIS 7” 25 DIAMONDS RECORDS

Minneapolis indie rock. Unnumbered edition of 400.

I realize that I just described both of these new 25 Diamonds releases using some of the most clichéd, verboten terms out there, but the thing is that I’ll stand behind those descriptions AND I’LL STAND BEHIND THESE RECORDS AS GOOD RECORDS. Both of them embody the best elements of those genres and playing records in the office turned heads and even got a visit over to the record player or two from various folks in the office while they were on. Real deal, quality stuff for sure so don’t overlook them.'

FYI, THE TEENAGE MOODS LP IS GETTING SERIOUSLY LOW AROUND THESE PARTS; THINK I'M DOWN TO JUST ABOUT 20 COPIES LEFT FOR MAIL ORDER?
