People we never expected to see on Fox News: Former Pavement singer/current Jick Stephen Malkmus. Question we never expected to hear on Fox News: “I’ve heard from the Urban Dictionary that [Jick] is a specific act of making love. ‘To Jick.’ Is that exciting?” Response that we would kind of expect from someone on Fox News: “I don’t know what ghetto that came from.” Malkmus and Red Eye host Greg Gutfield also discussed the audacity of Blender magazine, the Whitney Museum and how Real Emotional Trash compares to Bach. Notable quotables below.
On the word “Jick”: “It’s somewhere between a jerk and a dick.”
On whether he should have shared in any awards Cate Blanchett received for miming to his voice in I’m Not There: “I think we should have had to split it, I would have had to take maybe take the base of the award. Or we just melt down the gold, what with the price of gold these days…”
On the length of the title track: “[In] classical music things go on forever, I mean this is kind of a short song for Bach…Far be it for me to compare myself to Bach, but why not?”
On Blender declaring Slanted & Enchanted the best Indie Rock album of all time: “I mean I’m glad, it’s nice to be in there, but who is Blender to say this, though?”
