Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks will make their first late night television appearance in four years tonight when they stop by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The former Pavement frontman and his band will play a number from their excellent new record Mirror Traffic, though it's anyone's guess what song they might choose to play – the first single, "Senator," hinges on the line "what the senator wants is a blowjob," so that probably won't fly with the FCC.

“Too Close”

Next | 1998

Next was formed in Minneapolis when the uncle of Terry "T-Low" and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, who was a gospel choir director, introduced the brothers to Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar. Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
