 | Zach Vowell reports (pitchfork.com): Bad news for people who hate to buy Modest Mouse albums twice: last year's benchmark for Sony-sized indie success, Good News for People Who Love Bad News, will get the enhanced/repackaging treatment on October 11. 'Course, if the album's only on your hard drive, you can soon purchase the definitive version with an easy conscience, as this release will add "Float On" B-side "I've Got It All (Most)" smack in the middle of the album's sequencing. |
That direct attack on the already tattered integrity of the album format aside, the real reason to snap up this quickie reissue is the flipside of the DualDisc. It will include the entire album (again) in "enhanced LPCM stereo" and goodies such as the music videos for "Float On" and "Ocean Breathes Salty", a new short film called "Stiff Animal Fantasy" soundtracked by the song "World At Large", Isaac Brock interviewing himself on MTV's Advanced Warning, behind-the-scenes photo galleries, and other assorted graphic bits and animated pieces. What, no Modest Mouse temporary tattoo?
Since it seems like Epic pulled all remaining copies of the original The Moon and Antarctica when that album was reissued last year, you may want to snatch up the plain Jane edition of Good News while it's still around, for future eBay sales. That might not be so important as buying the album only once, which is what all the filesharers were planning for in the first place, right? Right. Or if you exclusively listen to mp3s to preview Modest Mouse's live performance, ignore all the foregoing, and instead check these couple of live shows:

10-08 Mountain View, CA - Download Festival *
