R.I.P. Modest Mouse

Well I'm back, and a lot has happened while I was gone; most notably the change of year, but other stuff too, like Modest Mouse (not unexpectedly) sucking, NPSH album art surfacing (maybe), and even some REAL Corn Gangg news (finally). Oh, and the Nintendo Wii is about 5082097643075132 times better than I anticipated. And I anticipated a LOT. So let's break it on downnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Modest Mouse - Dashboard

So in case you have somehow managed to not hear this song (which would be somewhat impressive), it's on depressing, infinite repeat on their website. Ummmmm, WHAT IS THIS?! I will admit that we all could've seen this coming with "Good News," but when they said Johnny Marr was joining, this is NOT what I had pictured in my head. This is nothing. I bet this has been played about 50,000,000 times on the End in the last couple weeks. Sad, really.

NPSH - Holding Hands In The Shower

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm probably not supposed to have this and I'm definitely not supposed to spread it around. So just listen to it there, and marvel in its electro genius. Man, I am so excited for whatever the hell these guys (and girl) have up their sleeve. Luke said (on last.fm, natch) that it was gonna be an EP rather than an album, but at this point I am not even disappointed. Guessing from some recent updates to their myspace, the album/EP/whatever is gonna be called "Girl Feelings." Check out possible album artwork on Side Ponytail and Staying Cool, it's pretty nice. Don't take anything I'm saying here seriously by the way, this is puuuuuuuuuuure speculation. Now that Sodomy Saturday is postponed, ANY SOLID NEWS would be like, exactly what I need in my life right now. Hint.

th' Corn Gangg: not dead!

Yes, it is true. Th' Corn Gangg is not dead, and even better is the fact that J'aime and motherfucking Alden Penner are in on this. Quoth Nick, my friends, so if it turns out to be untrue, it's not my fault. So, I could not possibly be more stoked about this. Apparently both an album and tour are in the works, keep fingers crossed dudes.

P.S. RIP Razorblade Runner. You will always be my hero, Cadence Weapon.
