Stephen Malkmus releases new MP3, announces tour dates

After hearing some tentative names and tour dates for the new album, we're happy to report Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks have opted to not cover Celine Dion songs, and are sticking to the record's original moniker, Real Emotional Trash.

A tour will accompany the March release, mostly hitting major cities. Malkmus' official site hints at possible Europe and Asia dates, too.
