Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks Name New Album
So that Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks album that's coming out in March on Matador now has a title. And it is...drumroll please...
Real Emotional Trash
That's got a nice ring to it.
Looks like they're going to tour the United States in the spring, and then Europe and Asia. Right now, they've only got two shows scheduled: December 19 at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco and on December 21 at the Doug Fir in Portland, Oregon. Both shows feature Blitzen Trapper opening.
All of this was posted yesterday on the band's website, along with a strange rant against the city of Stockton, California that involves Todd Haynes' new Bob Dylan movie I'm Not There. (As you know, Malkmus contributed to that movie's soundtrack.)
* (FYI, Matador Records hasn't confirmed any of this information yet, so don't be too surprised if the album title changes.)
UPDATE: It's confirmed!
Full rant below. And thanks to Colin Loustalot for noticing it!
THe jicks finished finished finished NEW album. Its titled "REal EMotional TRash".
ONe HOur of Us--TOo much for my mirror????
ITs will be officially released in March. WIth a tour of the USA co-in-side-ing. ANd probably so Euro/ASian dates after that.
In December,
We will be offering a seminar(no credits) at the Unversity of Frisco at Zero entitled:
"How to make a great record the VERY hard way".
THANX to all of the Ears the project passed thru.--------------------------------
Todd Haynes mentions Stockton California twice in New mOvie.
WE (kinda) know Mr Haynes is from GLendale or San Bernadino . But after doing his undergrad at Brown and A stint in the garbage factory that is New YOrk CIty, we thought the Metaphorical Power of STOCKTON was far from his mind...
SO it was a shock to this Moviegoer when the Pure Vanilla DESPERATION of Stockton was invoked Mr. Haynes nu movie IM not THERE> Maybe he read Fat City. We know Denis Johnson considers Fat City to be a masterpiece of compression.
If you looked up the word "NOWHERE" in the Psychic Dictionary of Places, Stockton would be the first Definition.
NICE work, TOdd.
