2009/06/29 - NO ONE'S FIRST AND YOU'RE NEXT AVAILABLE AT INSOUND #
No One's First And You're Next available at Insound Insound, those wonderful guys and gals that have been making those 7"s far more obtainable for so many of us, are now taking pre-orders for the CD and LP editions of Modest Mouse's new EP No One's First And You're Next. The CD is due out August 4, the LP August 18.

As many may have suspected, it looks as though there is no 4th 7". I'm guessing the original source was wrong or that it didn't make sense to re-release King Rat as another single. [Link]

2009/06/24 - NO ONE'S FIRST & YOU'RE NEXT COVER ART AND TRACK LIST #
No One's First & You're Next cover art and track list An online store has revealed the cover art and track listing for Modest Mouse's new EP No One's First & You're Next due out on August 4.
  1. Satellite Skin
  2. Guilty Cocker Spaniels
  3. Autumn Beds
  4. Whale Song
  5. Perpetual Motion Machine
  6. History Sticks To Your Feet
  7. King Rat
  8. I've Got It All (Most)
So if the track list is correct, it would seem that a title originally discussed by the band, Tie The Lake Down, has either been left off or has perhaps evolved into one of the other unheard of songs.

2009/06/22 - JOHNNY MARR'S CURRENT STATUS #
Johnny Marr's current status Coupled with the fact that many of The Cribs' tour dates conflict with Modest Mouse's upcoming ones, during an interview on June 13 with the BBC when asked if he was in Modest Mouse as well as The Cribs, Johnny Marr said that:

"Modest Mouse has taken a vague hiatus, because Isaac the main guy is doing some music for a film. The thing with Modest Mouse is it's kind of a real bunch of super grown-ups. I can play with them any time I like. We live in the same town of Portland, Oregon and I probably will be popping up on a few of their records. I'm in The Cribs though. The Cribs is the band I get in a van with, go to soundchecks with and live with at the moment."

Jim Fairchild is once again expected to take second guitar duties on the upcoming tour dates.
