For me, you can't get much better of a one-two punch in the music world than Radiohead's "The Bends" and "OK Computer." Two of the best rock albums of the past twenty years and they're from the same band in the same five year span. Which one is better? That's a matter of much debate and a few years ago it would've been "OK Computer" hands down, but now I'm not so sure. It all depends on how I feel on any given day. I haven't been in love with all the stuff since then but even their worst stuff is better than the best Coldplay (don't tell Gwyneth I said that). That's why I'm excited by this news. A scooper writes in and says that Radiohead could be providing their first ever film score work for the upcoming Rick Linklater flick A SCANNER DARKLY. Here's what our scoopster has to say:

I have a friend who is [redacted]. I thought you might be interested in this scoop.

The movie is doing very well in test screenings, but the #1 complaint audiences have is with the score. So I can only tell you this anonymously, but the producers have approached RADIOHEAD about doing a new score for the film and it looks like everything is going to go through. So in addition to an awesome animated Phillip K. Dick film, we will have a brand new Radiohead score to look forward to. as far as I know, this is the first time Radiohead has ever done a score for the film. While this is still a "rumor" at this time, I would give it a 99% accuracy rating at this point.

Also, I've seen the new trailer for the film and it is absolutely outstanding. It should be hitting the web any time now.

I need to remain anonymous, but you can call me ...Miguel Garzia.

Sounds pretty groovy, let's hope they can work it all out. I'm not a big fan of that type of animation but very interested to see how they pull this one off. Thanks for the scoop Miguel.

WOW
As if I wasn't excited enough to see this movie - then this rumour/news comes.
I can't wait!
OK Computer is an amazing album.
I'm quite fond of Kid A too.

Mike Sampson has taste.

I had heard that Jonny Greenwood (the guitarist and the driving force of their experimental stuff) was moving into film score composition so I reckon this one is true, and it should be brilliant

The Bends and OK Computer - Man, it's like children, you can't pick a favorite.

Sounds wicked. This is shaping up to be a pretty potentially brilliant project

Eh
I love radiohead as much as the next guy, and this sounds like a good idea I guess. I'll have to wait and see. I personally like coldplay a lot more. They are not as talented of course, but I like coldplays overall appeal. I just like coldplays music better.

My God...this has the potential for sheer brilliance/lunacy. I too haven't been the biggest fan of their last couple electronica albums, but I could totally see it working in a bizarro sci-fi film like Scanner looks to be.
