Radiohead Will Do Soundtrack for "Choke"

choke_pic.jpg

At Ease is reporting this morning that the new film from Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk called Choke & due out at the end of September will have a soundtrack of all new music by none other than our heroes Radiohead. At ease quotes Chuck: "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."

UPDATE: NME is reporting that Radiohead will not actually be doing the Choke soundtrack. They are instead contributing "Reckoner" to play during the closing credits. Oh, what could have been.

All Points West | Thom just wants to be your lover

radiohead

Radiohead's stint at All Points West has come to a close and they went out in tremendous style. So stylish, in fact, that Thom busted out skinny red pants for the occasion. The sound of the band was tight and, as we expected, the set was heavily laden with the guitar rock of the band's earlier days. Highlights included a soaring rendition of "The Bends" and a sublime "House of Cards."

Full setlist was:

Reckoner
15 Step
The National Anthem
Kid A
All I Need
Nude
Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
Where I End and You Begin
The Gloaming
Faust Arp
No Surprises
Jigsaw Falling Into Place
The Bends
Bangers and Mash
Everything in Its Right Place
Exit Music (for a Film)
Bodysnatchers
Pyramid Song
Videotape
Airbag (dedicated to Kings of Leon. "If we were that good looking we'd be famous.")
Fake Plastic Trees
There There
House of Cards
Planet Telex
Idioteque

All Points West | Radiohead, night 1 wrap

radiohead

The first night of the New York area's now premiere multi-day music festival came to a close with a rousing set by Oxford, England's favorite sons Radiohead. Known to reinvent their set lists night to night, the band stuck with safe choices from their repertoire (there were no surprises, pun intended) though they opted for a set heavy on their brooding, slower tempo tunes, including "How to Disappear Completely," "Pyramid Song," and "You and Whose Army?" In the same vein, it would've been nice to hear "Exit Music (for a Film)" as the setting and mood both seemed a perfect fit for the song.

The new album In Rainbows was showcased as expected, though tonight's performances of the new songs definitely felt less spontaneous (or more polished, but not in a bad way) than the summer 2006 tour when the material was first road-tested. Based on tonight's setlist, one can likely expect tomorrow's show to feature some of the more crowd-friendly tunes including "Karma Police," "Fake Plastic Trees," and "The National Anthem." Don't cross your fingers, though, because Radiohead is always unpredictable with their song choices and that's one of the best reasons to go see them live. Me, I'll be waiting for "Talk Show Host" with a gun and a pack of sandwiches.

Final setlist was as follows:

15 Step

Morning Bell
All I Need
Lucky
Nude
Weird Fishes/Arpeggi

Optimistic

You and Whose Army?
