  Barsuk Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barsuk Records (pronounced "Bar-SOOK") is an independent record label based in Seattle, Washington, started and still managed by the members of the band This Busy Monster, Christopher Possanza and Josh Rosenfeld in 1994 to release their band's material.
Its logo is a drawing of a dog holding a record in its mouth.
However, the label is not named after a badger, as is noted in the Barsuk Records FAQ[1], but after Christopher Possanza's dog, a fl labrador.

Josh Rosenfeld and everyone at Barsuk have done a fantastic job in nurturing the band and building their huge indie fanbase over the past six years.
Barsuk Records co-founder Josh Rosenfeld noted: "Working with Death Cab For Cutie has been a great experience for all of us at Barsuk.

"Barsuk is the name of Christopher's dog, a friendly lab/bull terrier.
Barsuk is a Russian word meaning "badger", and the dog was so named either because he resembled a badger as a puppy, or because he liked to dig like a badger when he was a puppy, or just because we liked the word.
That being said, it's definitely important for us to remain viable as a business, so the Barsuk staff are much more in control of the business side (as opposed to the creation side) of the label than are the individual bands.
