Thom Yorke to contribute new track to Twilight sequel

Well at least its only Yorke and a new song.

well thom must have a perfectly legit reason for doing this…
=\

I think a little piece of me died when I heard this.

NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo~!!!!!

I just puked everywhere.

Radiohead right between MCR and Coldplay… Hmm…

Thom just turned 40 this year.
Mid life crisis anyone?

why thom hmm do you like it when your fans cry cuz i am =(…………

no thom no…

Mr. Yorke, that joke isn’t funny anymore… New moon is not dancer in the dark…, what’s next? A colaboration to coldplay? Ok people, maybe we’re just fans be obssesed with a silly and stupid teen movie and it’s just a madly and spontaneous a decision. Maybe ms. Is his friend… Who hell knows! Maybe we might be wrong

he still the same guy that wrote Kid A isn’t he… stop being so arrogant

Guys stop bitching, we get a new song from Thom yorke!!!!!!!

NEW SONG!!!!!!!!!!! Who cares if it is in Twilight! I didn’t care Fake Plastic Tress was in that sh*t Clueless or that masterpiece Exit Music was in that sh*t Romeo and Juliet movie with Leo DiCaprio! IT. IS. A. NEW. THOM.YORKE.SONG! Nuff said.

I’m not too happy with the situation, but a new Thom Yorke song is always good news.
I’m trying to look on the bright side! (Although I did yell “no!” when I saw the headline)

Well, this may still be debunked/corrected. I’m not buying it until I see an official press release with the movie’s actual tracklisting. After all, I remember a similar piece of news that Thom/RH were going to be contributing new music to Richard Linklater’s A Scanner Darkly, and Linklater himself said so, but it ended up that they just gave them the rights to use Black Swan and Fog. It could be that the Twilight director is just referring to Thom’s recent Mark Mulcahy cover.

Fuck Thom.

I guess even Yorke got hit by the recession.

Well, at least it’s only a Thom Yorke song, not Radiohead.
But still… it’s always good to hear his songs.
And, c’mon, that’s not news, in Twilight movie, 15 Step was there, on the credits.

Thom? What was it, casino or heroine?

You guys are so ridiculous! I bet you all secretly love twlight, but just can’t admit it because you think you’re too cool.

M, everyone is too cool to be a fan of twilight. Its pretty shit

hmm I think it’s OK that he writes a song for Twilight…
Look: It’s a normal book and a normal film and a normal soundtrack. There’s nothing I complain about. Just these annoying teen girl, having posters of the vampire boy in the book all over their walls and think they are in love with a non-existing person really suck Oo

Thom will get a lot of new fans… but I hope they are not doing the same with him …
Thom yorke posters, all over teenie bed-room walls Oo

but… I might be wrong ?

what about the use of 15 step in the end credits for the first movie? my girlfriend (who sadly loves twilight… probably just because of that dude because really, why else would anyone care about it?) anyway… oh yeah, so my girlfriend bought the dvd and i was somewhat shocked that 15 step was used in the credits. i heard someone say that they used it without permission, but that can’t possibly be true. what is the story on that? anyone know how that happened?

Unless you’re an elitist jerk who doesn’t want other people liking your favorite music (which seems silly anyway, since Radiohead has been one of the most popular acts in the world for many years now), it’s basically a win-win situation if this is true.

Us fans win because there’s new music by Thom.

Thom wins because he makes more money, either by tapping into a new market, being paid a crapload of money by Summit, or both.

Thom having more money means Thom can keep making more new music for us to love.

…and the cycle goes on.

there’s a reason they call them twi-tards.

this is far, far shittier than fake plastic trees being used in romeo and juliet. FFS, at least that was shakespeare, even if it’s shakespeare that got screwed with. this is bad fanfic written by a sexually unfulfilled woman with the skills of a mouthbreather.

15 step in twilight was bad enough, this is far worse. unless his daughter or rachel are fans (which i doubt in the extreme) i think thom is losing it. for someone who used to bitch long and hard about corporate crap and naomi klein and no logo he sure is getting into bed with a lot of assholes. if he’d never been such a outspoken guy about it i wouldn’t have cared. but he did. now he strikes me as a big fat hypocrite.

if he lets them use present tense i can promise bricks will be shat.

to the poster worrying about thom’s bank account–thom has more money than god. he doesn’t need anymore. what he needs is to stop selling out to the tools of the corporate world.

sorry about the mistake re: romeo and juliet–i know it’s exit music, i’m just so pissed at this that my brain skipped.

Anyone remember when Jonny and Phil were in Harry Potter. I don’t hear anyone making a stink about that…

harry potter is at least marginally intelligent writing? and neither jonny nor phil yapped for years on end about how evil the corporate system was. thom did. loudly and repetitively. now that he’s becoming more and more enamored of the idea of letting asshats use his music, it irks some of us. do i still like radiohead? yes. do i enjoy the music? yes. do i think thom is a bit of a hypocrite? hell yes.

deal.

Who are you to decide whether Harry Potter is marginally intelligent writing or not? Just stop biatching and be glad he’s making music! GOD!

the fuck? he MAKES MUSIC ANYHOW. he’s a MUSICIAN. it’s not like you’d never hear another new thom yorke song ever if it weren’t for new moon, so spare me and also try to remember that not everyone has to think the way you do. i’m not forcing my opinion on you, so do me the same favor. thanks.

p.s. harry potter beats twilight because it’s not written by a frustrated mormon housewife who seems to endorse teenage pregnancy, obsessive/stalker behavior on the part of a love interest and also, there’s no ‘chew the infant vampire out of the womb’ scene.

you people are elitist and snob!!

hey livvie! Thom already said he is a bit of an hypocrite, he knows very well who he is as a person and who he is as a musician. He would just destroy you with little argument. Get down of your freaky pedestal. I am glad he will have more songs out there, for more people to hear. Just because he is a genius he doesn’t need to be a snob and stay only in artsy soundtracks.

twlight is a dumb movie it wasn’t a big deal the jonny greenwood did the soundtrack for potter because potter is actually some what of a a list type of movie twlight is all bulllshit. yes they are both stupid but one is less then the other.

I’m a reasonable man, get off my case, get off my case.

the miley cyrus rant was a bigger deal than this haha. the guy makes music for a …’living’. bet nothing will change when the cd comes out. besides, romeo and juliet, clueless, a scanner darkly, 1st twilight, harry potter, there will be blood. they have a long reputation of being involved in movies in some way…so who cares. new music from any member or radiohead is good music. the only way thom could escape corporate influence is to never play at any major festival ever again. he is a brilliant musician, i doubt he cares what anyone thinks that doesn’t personally know him.

“thom’s gone bonkers, god help us all!”

lol

PLEASE, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T_T

Thom Yorke will finally win an Oscar.

It’s about time! Seems like forever since we’ve heard new material from Thom and the boys.

I’m confused. I’m not sure how to feel anymore. I wish I could sit down with Thom, drink some tea, and chit chat for a little while. After that, maybe I can sort my feelings out.

what is exactly so bad about twilight?

Livvie, you seem to know alot about twilight though you hate it. You also seem to be a very angry person. Never thought about taking anger management?

I completely agree with jj…last time I checked, “romeo and juliet” was a silly teen movie back in the 90s and we can all agree that ‘talk show host’ was brilliant. You guys and gals need to calm down…it’s not like he’s on MTV Cribs or shagging with Paris Hilton

it’s RADIOHEAD!!…don’t second guess them, let’s be ‘optimistic’ here!

Livviw pretty much nailed the reasons Twilight sucks with this:

“p.s. harry potter beats twilight because it’s not written by a frustrated mormon housewife who seems to endorse teenage pregnancy, obsessive/stalker behavior on the part of a love interest and also, there’s no ‘chew the infant vampire out of the womb’ scene.”

It really IS a fanfic sexual fantasy, and a garbage one at that. I read the first two books because I had heard so many people say it was the ‘next Harry Potter’ and good God could I not have been more disgusted with mainstream opinion. Thankfully everyone with half a brain slammed the hell out of the fourth book for being so fucking weird.

It’s one thing to put your music in a mainstream movie. It’s another thing to put it in a shit mainstream movie with oddly obsessed fans who clearly have awful taste in a good deal of things.

Livvie- your comments made my night

To compare the inclusion of a new Thom Yorke song in Twilight 2 with the inclusion of Jonny’s compositions in There Will Be Blood is fuckin’ absurd.

There Will Be Blood is a masterpiece, directed by a man who outdoes himself with every project. Jonny submitted a great score that was unfairly overlooked by the Academy. New Moon is the sequel to a garbage film, directed by the master who wrote Nutty Professor II: The Klumps. So let’s not expect a “True Love Waits.”

Harry Potter is infinitely better than Twilight. I read both series, and there’s not competition.
Also im not buying anything until Thom says it himself.

Harry Potter sucks as well.

Let’s forget that Thom Yorke already had his own songs, from his incredible master SOLO work, in artsy movies as A Scanner Darkly, directed by Richard Linklater, and The Prestige, directed by Chris Nolan! So now, only because he will have a song in a popular franchise, ‘OH! GOD! Yorke sucks!’ You are all a bunch of snobs! SNOBS!

Radiohead fans…. uich….

Why does it matter?
Don’t watch twilight if you don’t like it, just buy/download Thom’s new song when it’s available….

Ok crisis over. Now you can all go back to blaming McDonald’s for all the world’s problems.

M2

Fux The Movie, At Least We Get Treated to a New T. Yorke Track. all That Matters Ill Take A New Track Even Its ON Lion King Three Ha HA ha

Word! ^^

h_e_n_r_y said it best when he wrote:

‘There Will Be Blood is a masterpiece, directed by a man who outdoes himself with every project. Jonny submitted a great score that was unfairly overlooked by the Academy. New Moon is the sequel to a garbage film’

jonny always associates himself with quality and class and produces MASSIVELY beautiful work. while also never having been terribly outspoken re: corporate tools and those who associate with them. thom is acting like the lowest common denominator associating himself with crap like twilight. if he wants to contribute to soundtracks? let it be with GOOD film, not shit. he’s not a struggling baby fledgling artist any longer, ffs.

and if you think this is snobbery? learn to love it. thom’s a fucking snob himself, he’s just not as much of a snob as he used to be because now the cash has become a bit more important.

thank god for elbow and lack of pretension. i will love radiohead until the day i die, but damn if thom doesn’t irritate the fuck out of me.

Livvie, you are an IDIOT. Still pretending to forget that Jonny wore lipstick and played in Harry Potter! And Thom can be what he wants, he has the BRAINS and the GENIALITY to be whatever he wants, when he wants, and associates with WHO he wants. he is Thom Yorke and nothing will take that from him. Ever.

Can’t we all just get along? I think we’re all on the same side.

NEW song by Thom Yorke. Nuff said. If it is good as the All for the Best cover (brings us more of that loud guitar Thom!!!) and Present Tense, I don’t care bollocks if it is on a soundtrack or not. The ones making a fuss about it can’t be called fans.

Wasn’t Fake Plastic Trees in Clueless?
And wasn’t Jonny Greenwood in Harry Potter?

The members of Radiohead have said repeatedly that they consider themselves pop musicians. Nothing more, nothing less. The standards we hold them to are subjective. If Thom wants to contribute his music to a movie that is almost guaranteed to be awful, that’s fine. It takes nothing away from his credibility as an amazing artist or from the song that will be used. If anything, it will introduce people my age to decent music much like what happened with 15 Step.

i dont care if its on a gay ass twilight movie all that matters is the new track! 8D

I don’t think I would enjoy the new song as much if I heard 13 year old girls running around ‘singing’ it…

It is a great way to extend to a whole new audience that might normally never pay much mind. Marketing wise current fans will still be fans and they will pick up new fans along the way.

Well.. I hate the movie .. but if he wants to write a song for it .. it’s fine for me .. a new song is a new song.. doesn’t matter if is for a crappy movie .. besides he is a free human.. he can do whatever he wants, and probably the song is going to be amazing.
At the beggining I was really angry about it .. but whatever.. as I said before it’s his music.. and he can do whatever he wants with it .

Greets!

am i the only one who thinks thom would have written/released the new song anyway? i mean unless it is going to specifically pertain to the plot and characters of this movie, (which i doubt) im pretty sure he would have released the new song anyway without the assistance of twilight. (just like how the first one used 15 step)…

I saw the first Twilight dreck and laughed my head AND ass off thanks to Rifftrax.com (Highly recommend_ed to fans of Mystery Science Theater 3K). Still I was not prepared for the comedy of 15 step used at the end of the film. So completely out of place, it was a true riot

The books like their affect on youthful ignorance are unreadably predictable, and the movies are nothing but deceitfully overpolished and hollow. Kind of like the stuff Radiohead is always going on about. I don’t know bout you, but Mister Thom Yorke contributing to the franchise directly smells of comic gold whether it is intended or not. Let us Radiohead heads just hope for now he has something up his sleeve.

and He DOES associate himself with glam, and damn if these kiddie vamp flicks aren’t smothered with glitter, so it shouldn’t be too hard to accept. I don’t think anyone here wants Twilight to exist, but now that it has become a force to be reckoned with let’s band together and pour some sunlight on this vampire nonsense like only our beloved subversive popular culture can.

yea, I know I will be seeing this sequel when Rifftrax does a commentary track for it, so in a mean kind of way I can’t help looking forward to its release more than just for another hillarious misplaced pop song moment.

Conclusion! People who loves Thom’s work get the track and fuck off the movie!!

i understand that if thom wants to, he can do whatever comes to his mind, but is obviously true that the real thom yorke’s fans will be really upset, cause almost nobody at the age to like things such as twilight or, i don’t know, high school musical could truely like radiohead’s kind of music. i can’t stand knowing that lots of stupid teenagers will be buying the twilight’s soundtrack, singing the track made by thom yorke, and them they’ll hear some songs like fake plastic trees or creep and say that they’re radiohead’s fans, just like what happened to Muse’s Supermassive black hole.

[...] are speculating that this track is the one that will be in the new Twilight movie. As you may know, Thom is supposedly contributing a song to the soundtrack. While it’s [...]

Im guessing he agreed to score the movie just to fuck with everybody, to filter his stuff through a wave ultra-conditioned douche bag american/british kids. He wouldn’t be thom york if u always new what he was talking about.

hahah or he’s trying to infiltrate that whole twlight scene to cognitively disassociate those “douche bags”(lol) from crap like twilight.

Ughhh a lot of really good artists are contributing to the shitpile that calls itself Twilight. Thom Yorke doesn’t need the money, and he has always stood against the corporations and all that bullshit that twilight represents. I just don’t understand. Sure he can do whatever he wants……but what the fuck?!? And Lykke Li, St. Vincent, Bon Iver, Grizzly Bear, Iron and Wine, Sea Wolf?!?!?!?! Come on guys!!!! The cool thing about indie music is that it is exactly that! indie, as in independent. Not suckling up to money teat of twilight. I hope Thom has something up his sleeve. maybe he’s got a big surprise “fuck you twilight” planned for us all. we can try to be optimistic.
