Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks have decided to go the Buy Early Get Now route with their album Real Emotional Trash. I’m a sucker for these preorder deals, and a sucker for Malkmus’ music. Even the Pavement stuff I gravitate towards is the stuff that he wrote. And I think the line, “She said ‘Done is good/but done well is so much fucking better.'” from “Freeze the Saints” is one of the most perfectly delivered lines ever. Anyone else with me?

Anyway, Pitchfork’s got more details. I just preordered my copy. I’ll let you know how it is.
