"Controversial Fight Club and Snuff author Chuck Palahniuk has revealed Radiohead have written brand new music for the soundtrack to the new movie adaptation of his book Choke.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.
”Palahniuk’s work is famous associated with alternative music, with his use of Pixies’ Where Is My Mind during the finale of the feature film adaptation of his novel Fight Club."

Can you believe it? More new Radiohead music coming this year! It will probably not be anything resembling a standard 'album', but who cares?
You can check out the website for more information and the trailer here. *Warning - this is all just a little bit scandalous.

Wow, that looks like a decent, witty comedy. Nothing like what I'd expect coming from Palahniuk. Of course, I've only read Fight Club, and I've only heard that his other books are similar in tone, themes, et al.
But I'll see this! And then maybe I'll read the book!
Radiohead, yes. But also nice use of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah in the trailer.
