Warbly pitch-challenged indie-rockers Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will not only appear in the new John Malkovich film, “The Great Buck Howard,” according to the indie-rock professionals at Pitchfork, the band will contribute new songs to the film’s soundtrack (Are they composing a score? Or composing new songs? If you go by their headline and then read the story, apparently PFM doesn’t know the difference). Regardless, expect songs that sound like Felt, the Talking Heads and the Pixies in a disfiguring car accident and possibly filtered through the garish David Fridmann boombox of sonic distortion (read: paying top dollar for your recordings to sound like utter ass).
The film will also star Tom Hanks, Colin Hanks (how did this kid get the job?) and indie-hottie Emily Blunt (we’re not really sure if she’s actually considered an indie-hottie, but we assume Pitchfork writers don’t get laid a lot and ‘tang of any kind is therefore labelled thusly).
