I Want My MTV Monday - "Galapagos Edition"

With the music in MTV long gone, we yearn for getting songs daily in video form. So just in time for PVBLIC's "Galapagos Edition" hitting the stores, we've compiled a video playlist in honor of those magically, mystical islands. We give you:

Beirut, "The Rip Tide" - the video for this song is simply stunning and completely inspirational.

Modest Mouse, "King Rat"- Modest Mouse as a band is full of tales and imagery of the great sea. Their animated video for "King Rat" is a protest against illegal whale hunts directed by the late Heath Ledger.  I'd personally go more with "The Whale Song" here (which I listened to incessantly while designing "Galapagos Edition") but the video for "King Rat" fits more within our theme. So here it is!

and of course, The Smashing Pumpkins, "Galapogos" - of which there has never been an official video, but the geek in me felt the need to link to this Final Fantasy fanvid. Holla.
