Jonny Greenwood Reportedly Scoring ‘The Master’

It looks like the pair behind 2007’s excellent There Will Be Blood score are gearing up for yet another collaboration, as director Paul Thomas Anderson has reportedly recruited Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood to compose music for his next film, The Master. As the Playlist points out, news of Greenwood’s involvement apparently leaked last week when the founder of Babel Label said that a jazz group signed to their roster are involved in the project:

“Zed-U recorded part of soundtrack for Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead last week. Film (by Paul Thomas Anderson) to appear in 2013.”

Given that Greenwood’s brilliant work on the pair’s previous project was left out of contention for the Academy Awards due to a minor technicality, this could shape up to be an impressive redo of that year’s award season run. Or, at the very least, another inimitable, edgy film score from one of the best modern guitarists/composers around. We’ll keep an eye out for official confirmation from the studio, but in the meantime, get acquainted with Zed-U’s music below:

Video: The Black Keys Return to SNL

Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney made their second appearance on Saturday Night Live of the year tonight, following up their promotion of Brothers back in January with a pair of tunes from the Black Keys’ next album, El Camino. Whereas their previous set featured singles we had heard on repeat throughout 2010, this round stars some brand new material that has yet to even debut live: “Lonely Boy” and “Gold On the Ceiling,” both album cuts unleashed in all their gritty garage-rock glory with a couple guest musicians in the background providing keys, bass, and harmony vox on big (read: monster hook-laden) choruses. So, without further ado, watch the Black Keys get us psyched for their 2012 tour and seventh LP due out this week below.

Lana Del Rey, ‘Born To Die’

We’ve heard two cuts off Lana Del Rey’s forthcoming debut LP, Born To Die, both of which — particularly “Video Games” — seemed to cement her status as the next big thing in pop music. Now we have the title track, complete with a sultry teaser video for the forthcoming official clip that reportedly features a live tiger. As for the new tune itself, Del Rey still hasn’t topped “Video Games,” though this memorable gem earns its place among the increasingly competitive run of potential runners-up from the upstart formerly known as Lizzy Grant.

Notably, despite the upcoming tiger cameo, Del Rey and her team have removed some lyrical teeth from a version debuted live earlier this fall — replacing the racier rain-sex chorus for a more radio-friendly “kissing” verb. Perhaps if we’d never heard the edgy original, this edited take wouldn’t seem so reserved. Either way, enjoy the cut —  a fine title track from one of next year’s most anticipated guilty pleasures — above.
