“Dope song. The beat kinda reminds me of Sonic Spinball for Sega Genesis.” YouTube commenter KoolIsKeith should really be writing SOTW from now on.
In August, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks dropped the Beck-produced Mirror Traffic, Malkmus' fifth post-Pavement album. Today, thanks to the folks at Matador Records, Grantland is proud to premiere the new video for "Senator," starring Jack Black as a cattle-prod-wielding, reelection-seeking senator and Office Space's Gary Cole as his Stetson-wearing, guitar-soloing hype man. Directed by Bob's Burgers writer Scott Jacobson, "Senator" also features appearances from UCB's DC Pierson, Conan's Brian Stack, and a llama. Enjoy!
