king rat by modest mouse

initially released in 2007, the rat king is released as an a-side to promote a b-side collection from modest mouse. i think the video is great!



pitchfork says heath ledger was directing this music video up until his untimely death. is that true? or is it some sick ploy? more likely, i think this video was directed and animated by terry gilliam.

whatever the case, this video is sick. whales hunting humans? do you think its some message of veganism? or some zen meditation? or maybe it just awesome. i'll go with just awesome.
