The new season of the popular television show, “Portlandia,” kicks off this Friday on IFC, however Pitchfork has posted a sneak-preview for eager fans. The first episode of the second season features local celebrity Eddie Vedder. The episode is “Battlestar Galactica”-themed, and offers just as much humor as the first season.

Luminaries of the musical world take on the set of Portlandia for its second season, kicking off at the start of next year. The comedy-hit nails the vibe of the Northwest and its residents, from the locavore mentality and raising the bar on living “green,” to independent bookshops and the impulse to “put a bird” on everything. The show has rallied Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder to have a stab at satirical acting. Other celebrity musicians include Isaac Brock (Modest Mouse), Steve Jones (Sex Pistols) Johnny Marr (The Smiths), singer/songwriter Joanna Newsom, and Annie Clark (St. Vincent).
