We all know that Matador Records sports one hell of a lineup, and has been doing so for years. Their current roster is an all-star cast of some of the best indie-rock bands around currently. The label is showing off it’s talent by releasing a collection of tracks from past and present artists, and is giving it to you for free. I know that most of you probably don’t pay for your music anymore, which pains me a bit cuz I still make the weekly trip to the local music house and plop down my hard earned wages for tunes.

The compliation download contains tracks that haven’t been available in MP3 form previously and tracks from albums that haven’t been released yet, as well as cover art.
