Mouse on Marrs

Let me first say that many other news sites will copy that headline, but you saw it here first, people!

Concerning Modest Mouse's newest album, this piece of news is particularly juicy:

"As of June 26, 2006, the band has finished its recording in Oxford, MS at Sweet Tea (Dennis Herring) and has returned to Portland, OR to finish overdubs and mixing of the latest album. Johnny Marr is a confirmed member of the band, co-writing songs for the new album with Isaac Brock." (link)

I love it! Marr is long overdue for playing in another popular band where he can perhaps match the output of Morrissey's recent, wonderful Ringleader of the Tormentors.
