Wow. I see that this news is a week or so old, yet it's new to me...

Quite incredible. I wonder who initiated this. Fingers crossed that their talents combine in a positive way.

I can't wait for this- I absolutely love Good News for People Who Love Bad News, and if the new one is anything as great as it, + Johnny = <!--emo&:D--><!--endemo-->

So, if anyone comes across any reviews of the MM gigs, please advise!
I would have thought something would have been mentioned about Johnny's first gig with them.

oooh this is cool! i didnt realise he was actualy going to be on stage with them,i thought it was more behind the scenes collaboration he was going to be doing! maybe modest mouse will go back to how some of their older stuff sounded then, i think 'good news..' didnt have the same energy and everything as some older stuff, oh well should be intersting to see! i love collaborations!

Thanks for the link!

Well the good news is that I'm going to try to get tickets for Modest Mouse coming my way in 3 weeks. I don't know how many more opportunities I'll get to see Johnny.

The bad news: it's part of a radio station's first annual 'Holiday Hootenanny'--(gawd) of four bands and at a large arena. I was hoping for a small venue. But The Shins are also playing (!) along with Pete Yorn and the Silversun Pickups. I do like the line-up.

I'm actually liking what I hear so far. Anything live rarely sounds great so I'm hopeful with the new record.

edit: so I click on the main page to the link and I see Of Montreal is coming to town! I dunno about that date though But my neighbor's daughter will be thrilled when I tell her. She's the only other (tangible) person I know who knows who they are. :blink:
