Johnny Marr is now a full-time member of Modest Mouse
From Rolling Stone:
"We’ve known for a while that Modest Mouse leader Isaac Brock and former Smiths guitarist/genius Johnny Marr were collaborating on MM’s next record. But guess what? Marr is now officially a full-on member of Modest Mouse, Brock recently told us. According to Brock, Marr’s membership is so unequivocal, he will tour with MM in support of their next record, tentatively titled We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank and tentatively due this fall. “He made a cautious commitment to write and record with us, and then the tighter we got, he was like, ‘okay, let’s tour too,’” Brock said. “Then he was pretty much a member of the band - not pretty much. He’s a full blown member of the band. It’s really fuckin’ nice.” Some backstory: When it came time to start work on the follow-up to 2004’s indie-rock marvel Good News for People Who Love Bad News, Brock found himself sans guitarist and enlisted Marr to help write and record. “I took a long shot really,” says Brock. “I was like, ‘You know, I really like that guy’s guitar playing. There’s no chance in hell he’s going to say yes, but why not give him a call?’ So I did.” Maybe Morrissey should borrow Brock’s little black book? “Eventually it all came together, and it was a really good fit, which I think actually surprised all of us,” Brock recalled. Finally, Marr, Brock and co. went down to Sweet Tea studios in Mississippi (the same joint where Good News was recorded) to lay down tracks for We Were Dead, which Brock describes as a nautical balalaika carnival romp. So what’s the gist? Get ready to have your mind blown by Modest Marr’s crazy-dark sailors-and-gypsies whimsy." I think this is great and seriously boosts up my hopes for the new album. Isaac's guitar playing has not been as impressive and original as the old days and having a (former?) genius like Marr should be good. Also I hope it makes Isaac more focused on the lyrics. I'm curious about Marr's songs too, I just hope it doesn't ruin the modest mouse persona that I like so much. The new album title doesn't seem to point to the humour side of the band like in Good News, which is also nice. |

This is definitely the move Modest Mouse needed to put things right in my book. Isaac Brock is still a douchenozzle though.

Maybe it'll make them not suck anymore.
And that doesn't take away from the fact that Brock is one of the biggest douchebag's on the planet. |

Marr's work on THE THE album "Dusk" is his best I feel. Not much of a Modest Mouse fan, but maybe now they have potential.

I like the lyrics this band comes up with, I only relaised this when i got the Modest mouse covers record 'Tiny cities' by Mark Kozelek (red house painters) he strips the songs down to these amazing acoustic interpretations. Much better than the originals.

ive never gotten into the smiths, so i dont know what to think of johnny marr. maybe ill dl a smiths album, its something ive been meaning to do. the album title is something id expect from modest mouse, i like it. im very, very, very excited for this album, i dont know where the modest mouse bashing is coming from. i havent heard much of it until now. good news might be my least favorite album(not including all the answering machine stuff that came with sad sappy sucker), but it was still a good album. its not something that made me think modest mouse was on the decline. though it will be hard to top the lonesome crowded west or building nothing out of something. edit: wow i dl'd the smiths s/t, really not very impressive. most of these lauded 80s things ive tried to give a chance to, like my bloody valentine, its just not too impressive, very plain. decent at best. i was even pretty disappointed with joy division after i checked them out after all the interpol comparisons. i expected a bit more out of unknown pleasures and closer. and i definitely prefer interpol.

but im a HUGE fan of 70s stuff and classic rock like led zeppelin, floyd, the beatles, the doors, jimi hendrix, etc. i thought that stuff was more creative than this certain batch of 80s artists. however i dont want to depreciate the past and influences of some of my favorite bands, so i dont think ill have a concrete opinion until i listen to these albums a few times over. with the smiths particular i only have self-titled, when the queen is dead is suppose to be their best.
