Parks And Rec’s Mouse Rat Releasing Debut Album

Parks And Rec's Mouse Rat Releasing Debut AlbumNBC

If, like me, you’ve thrown yourself into a comfort rewatch of Parks and Recreation over lockdown, you’ll be delighted to know that the one and only Mouse Rat are set to release their debut album.

The album – entitled The Awesome Album – was announced to mark the 10th anniversary of mini-horse Li’l Sebastian’s memorial service (RIP, and miss you in the saddest fashion) and will include some absolute bangers from the show’s seven-season run.

Fans will no doubt recall classics such as The Pit, Ann Song and Sex Hair as well as – of course – 5,000 Candles In The Wind (Bye Bye Li’l Sebastian). Honestly, the lyrics ‘And here’s the part that hurts the most, humans cannot ride a ghost’ will never fail to tickle me.

There are many call-backs within this album to enjoy, with featured artists including Ron Swanson’s secret jazz performer alter ego Duke Silver. There’s also music from Pawnee legends Land Ho!, fronted by Scott Tanner (Jeff Tweedy).

Behind the scenes, we can see that the band is managed by lead singer Andy Dwyer’s perpetually-bored wife April Ludgate-Dwyer, and that Tom Haverford’s Entertainment 720 and DualTone are responsible for the album release.

Of course, such an exciting announcement on the Pawnee music scene deserves some serious local airtime, and news anchor Perd Hapley has stepped up, releasing a promo vid via his fictional TV show Ya Heard? With Perd!

In the vid, Perd could be heard to explain the significance of this touching tribute album:

It’s been 10 years since Li’l Sebastian went to mini horse heaven, and to celebrate his miniature life, local band Mouse Rat has released 5,000 Candles In The Wind. So, go listen and gently weep with me! Ya heard?

SHOWTIME PPV Jake Paul gave Tyron Woodley a Christmas gift of a brand new Rolex ahead of their rematch. YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul won his recent rematch against UFC star Tyron Woodley, winning with what some people are calling the ‘KO of the year’ . Nicknamed ‘The Problem Child’, 24-year-old Paul overcame a cut to the head in round three and took his boxing record to five wins out of five.

GMP/Alamy Two men who won a £4 million jackpot on a scratch card have been jailed for 18 months after it was discovered they bought the tickets using a stolen debit card. John Watson, 34, and Mark Goodram, 38, were seen on CCTV celebrating as they discovered their winnings, but their joy was short lived as the lottery’s organisers grew suspicious when the pair attempted to claim their prize despite having no access to a bank account.

Quidditch Leagues Look To Distance Themselves From JK Rowling

Alamy Two major Quidditch leagues have said they plan to cut ties with JK Rowling as a result of her ‘anti-trans positions’ by changing the name of the game. US Quidditch and Major League Quidditch, which play a real-life version of the fictional sport created by Rowling for the Harry Potter series, issued a joint statement confirming that they planned to choose a new name for their game to both distance themselves from the author and avoid future copyright issues. While citing issues arising from the use of the current name, which according to USA Today is trademarked by Warner Bros. and prevent teams from pursuing commercial opportunities, the leagues directly pointed to Rowling’s comments over recent years, which have seen fans and former cast members of the films distance themselves from the author, as a significant reason for the change. Warner Bros. ‘The leagues are hoping a name change can help them continue to distance themselves from the works of JK Rowling, the autho...
