A lot has happened on the Modest Mouse front in the last day or so. For one, guitarist Johnny Marr is now a university professor:

According to the U of S website, Marr has been named Visiting Professor at the Greater Manchester Area city’s “Uni” (pronounced “YOU-knee”), as our Brit brethren have been known to call them.

Seems he “will be delivering a series of workshops and masterclasses to students on the BA Popular Music and Recording degree at Salford.” Seeing as Mr. Marr has already helped a generation find its away around nimble, expressive hooks packed with jangly goodness, this new post should prove no sweat for the guy.

Oh, and Modest Mouse has a new music video out… It’s on Myspace though so you’ll have to click here.
