Guess what: Pitchfork Media did a really nice feature about us. And our server went nuts. But he recovered… and we’re having a blast.

What they wrote:

Sam Fogarino of Interpol favors selflessness! Sam Prekop of the Sea and Cake appreciates his own autonomy! Dan Snaith of Caribou loves math! Torquil Campbell of Stars likes love! Lambchop’s Kurt Wagner likes eggs with his breakfast! These revelations from some of indie rock’s bigger names come from 99Matters, a German website centered around asking said big names an ostensibly simple question: “What is really important to you?”

The 99 Matters crew has managed to get some good stuff out of folks, from Eddie Argos being uncomfortably complimentary to Jonathan Richman, to Annie Clark of St. Vincent pushing her liberal agenda, to Sam Beam of Iron and Wine calling the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Bob Marley “the holy triumverate.”

Other participants in the project include Bill Callahan, José González, Bob Mould, and members of the National, Blonde Redhead, Yeasayer, Voxtrot, Pinback, Why?, Architecture in Helsinki, Travis, Future of the Left, Shout Out Louds, and loads more.

And so on… You don’t believe it? Have a look!

That’s how it is: We wanted to shine a little brighter, we wanted to be more open and to communicate with you. Therefore we painted our walls, added some functions and installed a blog. Of course we did, otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this.

read on my dear…
