The Stranger:
Any label that’s been around as long as Sub Pop has (20 years and counting) will have some overlooked artists in its catalog. Not everyone can be Nirvana, the Postal Service, the Shins, or Fleet Foxes. The music business’s law of averages dictates that misses will always outnumber hits, but—news flash—commercial failures often are much more interesting than chart dwellers. With Sub Pop’s deluxe reissue this week of Red Red Meat’s underacknowledged 1995 classic Bunny Gets Paid, the time seems ripe to survey this Seattle institution’s most compelling, obscure gems.
