Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks - Wig Out at Jagbags
I'm fairly impressed with this album. It's a lot more accessible than Pavement, and I gotta say...I like that. As much as I love Pavement, I could always hear Stephen Malkmus's incredible pop sensibility in his writing. It was just drowned by fuzz most of the time and all the Pavement albums were growers as a result. Wig Out at Jagbags is good straight out of the gate.
