It was in Time magazine that named them best rock band in 2001. But is was no surprise since Greil Marcus wrote the piece. He was in the audience at the first S-K show I went to at the Bottom of the Hill around 96. The Donnas opened and I stood next to one of their Moms. I'm going to try and see Quasi there on Tuesday. Marcus has written about them often. I asked him a question about S-K at a reading a couple of years ago and Madigan Shive of Bonfire Madigan introduced herself to me since she knows everyone in the band. ]]>

Matador seems to be the official winner of the Which Indie First? award on iTunes - see here: http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/11/202732.php Although, reading your post has me even more excited - I used to have a ton of KRS stuff on vinyl, and now I'll be able to grab the digital versions. Double-hurrah! ]]>

Saved by Sleater-Kinney's write up a couple years ago in Time? Newsweek? as the best American band recording at the time. It was a good pick, by I have to admit I was completely surprised that a major news magazine gave SK same standing as Philip Roth. ]]>

Glad you posted this, Steve. KRS is one of the few Pacific Northwest rock recording enterprises that survived. ]]>

I imagine they will put Smith's KRS material online. ]]>

Hey, that's Elliott Smith's old label. Wonder if they'll put some of his back catalog on iTunes... ]]>
