The late Heath Ledger directed 2 music videos before his death in Jan 08.

He directed a video of the Modest Mouse track “King Rat”, which was a a bonus track from the band’s 2007 We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank.

It has been reported that MGMT is demanding compensation from the French President, Nicolas Sarkozy for the use of their track “Kids” at a national congress of his union, and in 2 online videos.

There is always a first for everything.
Including classical music featured here.
Or is it??

The Section Quartet are a group based in LA and they specialize in turning real good songs into classical quartet pieces.

They have done countless covers for the likes of The Clash, Coldplay, Queens of Stone Age and even the YYY’s.

I heard they got featured on Gossip Girl and chuck bass fans are looking all over for these.
