If you haven't managed to get your hands on a copy of Pat Graham's second Modest Mouse Photozine, there are still some available from RAEN Optics. Pat informs us that a limited amount of 300 might make it to the merch tables on the upcoming tour.

The Perpetual Motion Machine 7" is out today. Check your local record store for copies if you weren't able to order one online. Otherwise the songs are now also available for download from iTunes.

The credits for the single reveal some interesting things, showing that the songs could have been worked on during both the Good News and We Were Dead eras. Firstly, Perpetual Motion Machine features obviously the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, but also James Mercer (The Shins) and Derrin Wiener (Possibly a typo, may be Darrin Wiener of Plastiq Phantom, whom Jeremiah has worked with before) on backing vocals.

Secondly, History Sticks To Your Feet features Benjamin Weikel on drums and Johnny Marr on guitar.

History Sticks To Your Feet, the final unheard song from Modest Mouse's upcoming EP, No One's First And You're Next, is now streaming on Pitchfork's website.

No warning on this one. Perpetual Motion Machine is now streaming on Spin's website. The song appears to use the lyrics that have for a long time made up the jam that is known to fans as "Here Comes Trouble." It also appears to be the song that was mentioned to include the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Thanks to happywaydown for informing us.
