Johnny Marr with Modest Mouse?! Am I the only one who didn't know this?

[Denia]

"In 2006, it was confirmed that Marr was a member of the American band Modest Mouse. It has been revealed he not only wrote some of the songs on the album that the band is working on, but is also playing guitar on the album."

If anyone has more info about this, please, do share your knowledge.

That's the extent of what I've heard about it myself. Hopefully they'll come up with something interesting. I haven't heard much of Modest Mouse but I did hear The Moon And Antarctica, which I liked.

I remember hearing something like this but it was second-hand information.

Hey, that's exactly what Wikipedia is!

Something about him helping them or something. I don't know, I hate Modest Mouse.

yeah, wikipedia isn't exactly the source of all worthy information, but some fellow smiths fans started a conversation about this on the Myspace forums. it's not like i care much for modest mouse; i couldn't help but be interested.
