Modest Mouse planning ‘Good News for People Who Love Bad News’ anniversary tour with original line-up

Modest Mouse have been “tentatively” planning an anniversary tour to celebrate 20 years of their landmark album ‘Good News For People Who Love Bad News’.The band celebrated the album’s 20th birthday with a reissue and expanded edition featuring eight additional remixes from the likes of MGMT’s Andrew VanWyngarden (‘The View’), Jacknife Lee (‘Bury Me With It’), Dan the Automator (‘Float On’), and Justin Raisen (‘The Good Times Are Killing Me’).Now, Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock has told Rolling Stone in a new interview that he was hoping to tour the album with the original members of the band who played on the album.“It’s the only record where I can do a tour with all the living members, all the exact same members,” he said. This is the case because it is the band’s only record to not feature late drummer Jeremiah Green due to his temporary departure from the band.

Danger Mouse and Black Thought announce collaborative album ‘Cheat Codes’
Danger Mouse and Black Thought have announced that they’ll be dropping a collaborative album this summer.Set to be released on August 12 via BMG, ‘Cheat Codes’ is Danger Mouse’s first hip-hop full-length since his ‘DANGERDOOM’ collaboration with the late MF DOOM which was released back in October 2005.It follows Black Thought’s pioneering output with legendary Philadelphia group The Roots and his critically acclaimed solo trilogy, ‘Streams Of Thought’ – the third volume of which was released in 2020.‘Cheat Codes’ – which was initially rumoured to be called ‘Dangerous Thoughts’ – is something that the pair began the initial idea for “maybe 13 or 14 years ago”, Black Thought revealed when he first teased the project in an interview back in 2020.“It’s a feel-good record,” he said. “It’s a record for people who got into hip-hop and sort of evolved at the same period of time that we did. We’re the elder statesmen at this point, so I feel like this record is reflective of that too.”Black Thought added that the album – which features; A$AP Rocky, Run The Jewels, MF DOOM, Michael Kiwanuka, Kid Sister, Joey Bada$$, Russ, Raekwon, Conway The Machine and more – is “a return for [Danger Mouse] to hip-hop and to sampling in this way”.The announcement comes alongside the album’s first single, ‘No Gold Teeth’, a razor-sharp cut that hears Black Thought deliver a lyrical clinic over Danger Mouse’s dizzying backdrop.You can watch the song’s hypnotic video, directed by UNCANNY, the UK-based creative duo of George Muncey and Elliot Elder, above.01. ‘Sometimes’02. ‘Cheat Codes’03. ‘The Darkest Part’ (feat.

Minnie Mouse curates lo-fi hip-hop album of reimagined Disney classics
Disney have released an album of some of its biggest hits, which have been reimagined as lo-fi hip-hop instrumentals.‘Lofi Minnie: Focus’ has been curated by Minnie Mouse, with artists like Purrple Cat, Dutch producer Eevee and harpist Hippo Dreams contributing their versions to the album.Fan favourites such as ‘Hakuna Matata’, ‘You’ve Got A Friend In Me’ and ‘A Whole New World’ are included, with Disney tapping into the popular genre which is said to aid concentration and relaxation.In a press release, Disney explained (via BBC): “Disney and Minnie Mouse are a natural fit with lo-fi, especially with Minnie’s interests in creativity, music, and wellness leaning into lo-fi’s penchant for self-expression and its calming meditative properties.“What attracted us to lo-fi is the ability to reimagine our songs in a completely new way that combines the soothing benefits of lo-fi with the wonder and nostalgia that Disney has to offer. Lo-fi and Disney are both a great source of comfort, so the two make for a perfect match.”In 1983, LA duo Sparks recorded a track called ‘Minnie Mouse’ for the ‘Mickey Mouse Splashdance’ album.The upbeat, quirky track includes the lyrics: “She’s the woman of the year (Minnie Mouse) / And the woman with the ears (Minnie Mouse) / You can say she’s just a mouse (Just a mouse) / The Taj Mahal is just a house (What a house)“.‘Mickey Mouse Splashdance’ was a sequel to 1979’s ‘Mickey Mouse Disco’, which featured disco versions of Disney songs like ‘Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah’ and ‘Chim Chim Cher-ee’, and Disney-fied versions of disco hits.
