Johnny Marr is not going to be joining Modest Mouse when the band goes on their recently announced tour this spring, opting instead to work with the Cribs on their new album. Former Grandaddy guitarist Jim Fairchild will fill in for Marr, who presumably hasn't quit Modest Mouse, but has other commitments (but seriously, the Cribs???).

I think the Cribs are alright. Sucks he won't be touring with MM though. I thought the highlight when I saw them last year was seeing him play with them last year.
