Review : Mirror Traffic

Spinnaker

Stephen Malkmus returns from his post Pavement reunion to his original post Pavement outfit, The Jicks. Their fifth album, Mirror Traffic, offers a return to an older form for Malkmus. This Beck produced album, focuses a lot more on hook than past Jicks projects and delivers. If you dig on Pavement then this is right up your alley.

Rec’d Tracks: Tigers, Senator, Stick Figures in Love

Artist : Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks
Album : Mirror Traffic
Record Label :Matador/Domino

President Donald Trump is relying on a relatively obscure federal agency to reshape government. The Office of Personnel Management was created in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter and is the equivalent of the government's human resources department. It helps manage the civil service, including pay schedules, health insurance and pension programs. The agency has offered millions of federal workers eight months of salary if they voluntarily choose to leave their jobs by Feb. 6. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta)
