We guess "Exit Music (for a Film)" would have been just to a fault obvious a choice.
As it is, Radiohead has lententide one of its newer tunes, "Reckoner," to the closing credits of the upcoming plastic film adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's best-selling Choke, but has not, despite ill-informed in time well-intentioned claims by the author himself, crafted an entire score for the flick.
The karma police may not take away too kindly to this one.
The no doubt red-faced scribe boasted about the musical coup to U.K. radio station BBC 6 Music yesterday, apparently incognizant that the movie's music had been written and recorded without any help from Thom Yorke & Co.
"[Director] Clark Gregg�knew that I'd scripted Choke while listening to Pablo Honey, with 'Creep' over and over and over," the Fight Club author aforesaid. "So Clark got Radiohead to lend a song, to write a song for the very end of the movie, the final credits.
"Apparently Radiohead liked the moving picture so much, they've written the score...It's a surviving dream."
Or nightmare.
While Radiohead themselves have all the same to gossip on the confusion, they did in fact approve for the film the use of one of their tracks�albeit one that had been written well in throw out of seeing the celluloid, if indeed they take seen it, as it actually appeared on their last album, In Rainbows.
Choke, starring Sam Rockwell and Anjelica Huston, is set for limited release on Sept. 26.
The Choke soundtrack, featuring Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, Ben Kweller and, yes, Radiohead, is also due out this fall.
