New Modest Mouse Video: "King Rat" (directed by Heath Ledger)

This song has been floating around since about Modest Mouse's last album, but is set to appear on the new catch-all album No One's First, And You're Next, a comp of unreleased, b-sides, and rarities from the past decade. It gets the video treatment, courtesy of Heath Ledger and The Masses, a film/music company in which Heath was a partner.

The message seems pretty clear: whaling is bad.
