Matador Records - Not just a record label for Pornographers

Apparently the above ad for Stephen Malkmus' new album was too hot for Paste Magazine (click to enlarge, you perv). Matador has called Paste out on their objection, a real travesty since it's probably the best record ad ever created by mankind (and I am NOT prone to bouts of overstatement). Who knew that the marketing departments of record companies, even those at Matador, were actually still good for anything?

As for Paste, well they cover a lot of music I dig, but I'm generally non-plussed by their breezy, press release-quality articles. It's not bad enough that conservative hand-wringing is infiltrating every nook and cranny of the public domain? Suck it, Paste.
