I know it’s rare, or perhaps even unprecedented, to post videos on this here little blog where I’m mostly concerned about merchandise, but Modest Mouse is my favorite band and I really respected Heath Ledger as an actor, so I’ve posted the video directed by Ledger, King Rat, off of the new album “No One’s First and You’re Next”. As you can see, it has a very nautical theme with whales going human-ing instead of humans going whaling. It’s a little gruesome, but as long as those images of humans being skinned don’t wind up on promotional T-shirts, I’ll be ok. This album is getting put on my mp3 player tonight, and I’m pumped about it.
