In and Out: Justify my love, Stephen Malkmus.

March 4th spawns Stephen Malkmus' next release with the Jicks, entitled Emotional Trash. Janet Weiss of Sleater-Kinney and Quasi fame will be (wo)manning the drums in this incarnation of not-Pavement. The lady's all over the place (recall that she is fresh off a Bright Eyes tour), but this is nothing new as I flash back to when she used to guest Elliott Smith's shows.

I'm pretty sure the new Malkmus musical product will disappoint me in some way, though I've set my expectations as low as I possibly can without shedding a few tears of embarrassment. Malkmus, I still adore you unconditionally, but would you please produce at least one new song that surpasses "AT&T?"
