Gerard Cosloy's house burned to the ground this morning

Matador Records co-owner Gerard Cosloy was the owner and resident of the nearly 100-year-old home on Lindell Avenue that burned to the ground early this morning.

Cosloy sounded shaken but calm this morning. “There are a lot of people who have a lot less than I do who deal with a lot worse, but this is pretty bad,” he said.

Indeed, the house and its contents are a total loss.

Dog lovers should know that yes, his dogs survived.

“They were very heroic, in fact,” Cosloy said.

“Everyone has been really great calling with places to stay and work out of,” he added. Cosloy worked out of his home.

Matador recently signed Austin band Harlem. Cosloy also runs the often mind-blowing sports blog Can’t Stop the Bleeding and plays in the band Air Traffic Controllers. (Big-ups to Cosloy for joking about his loss here.)

While Austin Music Source is very thankful Cosloy is alive, AMS can’t lie to you: We poured one out this morning for his stellar record collection, a collection that is now one large plastic lump.

To paraphrase more than one guy on ESPN, we’re all day-to-day, huh?
