It's a return to regular programming in this episode as Paul, Chris and Mark get back to discussing eight more Jicks tunes in a bid to work out which one is the best...

This episode has everything: a birthday, some classic deep cuts and possibly the hardest-hitting piece of podcast journalism ever heard on a bracket-style podcast about Stephen Malkmus.

This week's matchups are:
Long Hard Book vs Share the Red // Elmo Delmo vs Cinnamon and Lesbians // What Kind of Person vs Cash Out // Difficulties/Let Them Eat Vowels vs Troubbble.

Thanks for listening to our wee podcast. We love Stephen Malkmus and we love The Jicks.
