Radiohead pen new Palahniuk score

Radiohead pen new Palahniuk score
from BBC World News
Radiohead write the score for the film adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s latest book, Choke, the author tells BBC 6 Music.

This is amazing and exciting! As said in the article, Palahniuk listened to Radiohead’s Pablo Honey consistently while writing Choke.

Best of Canadian Independent Music vol. 1

I hope you enjoy this list. I love feedback!
