Friends Mourn Heath Ledger With His iPod
In what strikes us as an oddly creepy way of honoring the fallen actor, Heath Ledger's friends and contemporaries are passing around his iPod and sharing the music on it. Apparently the star of the new 'Batman' film would leave his iPod laying around on the set of the film and others would pick it up and marvel at the collection of obscure musical artists. Aaron Eckhart and Maggie Gyllenhaal swung by the 'Today Show' and Eckart shared the tale of musical piracy as personal tribute with the host Matt Lauer.
"Whenever we went into the trailer we'd say "Whose iPod is this?" Because it would always be some wacked-out music nobody had ever heard of before. And it was Heath's. And that iPod has since become a symbol of Heath and his friends pass it around to each other, download the music and then pass it on."Call us morbid, but we're wondering how "wacked-out" it was? Was he listening to music created entirely from the crying of babies? Or is Eckhart just so out of the loop he hasn't heard of Animal Collective yet? [Source: Valleywag]

Meh, he must be one of my kind.. I bet my music is weirder (and more obscure)..
Ever heard of Jerry Schroeder? He rules, and his music is freeware !!

The RIAA is now going to go after Maggie Gyllenhall and Aaron Eckhart!

I doubt it. The RIAA I know will go after Heath for 'making available'. Won't be the first time they've gone after the dead.
