Proceeds from Modest Mouse's "King Rat" going to non-profit marine life organization

I am apparently, severly misinformed. The musical chronology of Modest Mouse is far less expansive than I was under the impression of. I am of course referring to their albums, not every thing else. They have under their belts five official studio albums (LPs), as well as six EPs.
However, though their collection of released albums is shorter than I was aware of, their strew of songs is longer than ever.

On a serious note, this video, entitled, "King Rat," is taken from the newly released EP, No One's First, and You're Next. It was directed by Heath Ledger, and was completed after his death by The Masses, an ambitious film and music company he was a partner in. Ledger's intent for making this video was to bring an "impassioned stance against the illegal commercial whale hunts taking place off the coast of Australia each year."
Proceeds from the video when purchased on iTunes go to the non-profit, marine life organization Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Be sure to check out their stance on wildlife conservation, as well as the many ways each of us can be involved in aiding this organization.


You can download the video HERE for a humble price.
