Here's a combination nobody expected: According to his Twitter, OutKast rapper Big Boi is in the studio, working with Portland indie big dogs Modest Mouse. Go ahead, close your eyes. Think. Imagine how a Modest Mouse song with Big Boi on it will sound. You can't. It's impossible.
Details are scarce right now, but Big Boi sent a couple of Tweets out yesterday on the subject. First: "Me and @mouche1 [OutKast producer Chris Carmouche] in the studio workin with Modest Mouse on their new album Turnt up ! Shout out to Issac and the crew!" This probably doesn't mean that the new Modest Mouse album will be called Turnt Up, but we can't rule it out.
Then: "Been camped out in the Lab with Modest Mouse all week, workin on the new mouse LP, coolest cats ever. Long Live The Funk". This is almost certainly the first time anyone has ever said "long live the funk" about Modest Mouse. We'd like to think these guys all met at last year's Pitchfork Music Festival, but then again, maybe someone handed Big Boi a copy of The Lonesome Crowded West when he was touring behind ATLiens or something.
