Music: Heath Ledger directed a Modest Mouse video. See it tomorrow.

  • Ooh, spooky. Modest Mouse has had a pretty interesting career thus far – from small-time indie icons to chart-topping stars who can call the unspeakably awesome Johnny Marr a member. Now they hold the legacy of having a video directed by gone-too-soon Oscar winner Heath Ledger. Ledger’s unfinished video for “King Rat,” later finished by THE MASSES (a production group Ledger was a partner in), comes out tomorrow on MySpace. So that’s right: Tomorrow, you have a reason to go to MySpace. source
