Radiohead Choked

I haven't decided yet if I'm going to reserve any of my always limited time in late September/early October to check out Choke on the big screen.  After all, I was sorely disappointed in Fight Club save the final credits.  I will say that having Radiohead score the movie might help move it from the "Rent DVD" category to "see at theater":

Speaking to BBC 6 Music on the Shaun Keaveny Breakfast Show, Palahniuk explained it all came from his love of the band’s music, saying: “Clark Gregg, who directed the movie version of Choke which comes out on September 26 (in the US), he knew that I’d written Choke while listening to Radiohead’s Pablo Honey, with Creep, over and over and over.

“So Clark got Radiohead to contribute a song; to write a song for the very end of the movie, the final credits. Apparently Radiohead liked the movie so much, they’ve written the score, most of the ambient music throughout it. So it’s ‘Choke – with the music of Radiohead’“

When asked if he felt honoured to have such a respected band write music solely for his film, the author laughed, “I quit believing in my own life at this point! My life is just too incredible to be believable anymore. It’s a living dream.”

I was surprised to hear that news. Radiohead?

I hope he isn't expecting it to sound like "Pablo Honey." Or "Creep."

Now, bless me, " says such a mind, "I have done my duty, " when , as a matter of fact, it has merely done its old, unbreakable trick once again. I don't like this.
