So, I don't really know who Johnny Marr is, and I've never listened to The Smiths, but I hear this is big news.

Marr is now officially a full-on member of Modest Mouse.

Thanks! This is great stuff. And I now realize that I know a couple of their songs. This should be a good hour. :)

I'm a bit taken back by this. I love MM and I love the Smiths, but I'm very curious and a little afraid of what this will mean to the MM I've come to love over the years.

Hopefully this doesn't have any negative influences on the band as they were before the MTV days.

I can't believe that! Marr is a genius. And I rarely say that about anyone but myself! I've always gotten a kick out of Modest Mouse, but now I really can't wait to hear what they produce.
