Watch: Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks on Jimmy Fallon
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, who's newest release Mirror Traffic is in stores now, played two songs on Jimmy Fallon last night. The first was the on air performance of "Senator," the third track and most controversial of the album. The song features this lyric: "I know what the Senator wants, what the Senator wants is a blowjob." Recently, the band announced the winner of it's contest to replace the word, "blowjob" with "corndog" for the radio edit. However, last night Stephen used "snow-job" and then split a grin when he forced NBC to bleep out another one of his lines. Enjoy "Senator" and the new and web exclusive track entitled "Surreal Teenagers" below.

Tours: The Vaccines Cancel Fall Tour Dates with Young Buffalo and Tennis
The following was statement was issued on the Vaccines' official site today:
"Sorry to keep so many of you in the dark regarding our touring plans over the next few weeks, but we wanted to be sure of them before we spoke to you. Unfortunately, the Doctor has now confirmed that, this week, he will be operating on my throat for a third time this year. It was the wait for this decision, and no other reason, that meant we were able to complete commitments over this last week and why we will not be able to complete those in the coming weeks.
In a bid to allow my throat to recover and rehabilitate completely, we will be cancelling all shows, including our trips to North America in September and Japan and Europe in October. We will resume with our touring commitments in Paris on October 26th before supporting our friends the Arctic Monkeys here in the UK. This allows me to have eight weeks of the best vocal therapy available, allowing the best possible chance of complete recovery."

In addition, he went on to say that, "cancelling shows in exchange for repeated hospital visits plain fucking sucks." From that we can deduce that this isn't a Kings of Leon bullshit excuse cancellation. These guys really want to play.
