BPB Video: Stephen Malkmus and Kimya Dawson

Washington City Paper’s Aaron Leitko and Jason Cherkis take a few moments to discuss Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks‘ new album, Real Emotional Trash. (The song in the video is “Baltimore”–right-click the link to download an MP3.) Leitko and Cherkis also talk about the surprising success of Kimya Dawson in the wake of Juno. (That disembodied voice you hear giving erroneous information about the Juno soundtrack is mine; the album is, in fact, currently the number one album in the country, and Billboard doesn’t have a soundtrack chart.) Beneath our video, watch a video from ChannelKris of Dawson performing outside of Crooked Beat Records on Jan. 23.

    Wow. She makes Sebadoh sound like Yes.

  2. Michael J. West Says:

    It’s not TOO hard to see how Kimya Dawson would cross over to Juno fans (I assume that’s generally what Aaron means by “Judd Apatow people”), is it? She’s got the same kind of sensibility as the movie - a fairly innocent kid dealing with life’s complications, but doing so on simpler, innocent-kid terms.

  3. Staples Says:

    I think the hi liter could kick the thermostat’s ass.

    so bring it back.
