Stephen Malkmus needs your help with the new single from the Jicks' forthcoming Matador LP, Mirror Traffic. The problem: it's not radio friendly. Why? The song features the lyric “I know what the senator wants / What the senator wants is a blowjob.” So Malkmus and Matador are staging a contest to come up with the best possible alternative to make the FCC happy and get the track on the air.
