Pitchfork

Stop me if you think you've heard this one before, but Modest Mouse have added more tour dates. As reported by NME and confirmed by the band's publicist, they'll head to the UK in late May. Then in June it's off to Europe. Fingers crossed that the sharpest thing at these shows is Johnny Marr's haircut.

Speaking of Marr, the former Smith and current Mouse recently unveiled a limited-edition PF Flyer Center Lo low-top that features his signature etched on the tongue of the dark blue leather shoe. 216 pairs of the shoe will be available July 10, 108 pairs in the U.S. and the other 108 in the UK. All proceeds from the U.S. shoe sales will benefit Cure Autism Now, and all proceeds from the UK sales will benefit the Pictor School for children with special needs in Marr's hometown of Manchester.
