Thom Yorke
"Hearing Damage"
The Twilight Saga: New Moon
(2009)
The need to know: How the hell did New Moon end up with such a fantastic and, might I add hip, soundtrack? I would never peg most Twi-hards as the devout Radiohead faithful but I am certainly not complaining. Extra Thom Yorke? Yes, please, and I don't care where it comes from.
Why it's worthy: So everything Thom Yorke touches turns to gold. We know this. But "Hearing Damage" finds the enigmatic Brit in the midst of an impeccable electro freakout, again ditching the guitars for atmospheric beats that perfectly compliment his trademark wail. Nobobdy wails like Thom. Nobody.
Quotable lyric: "You speakers are blowing/ Your ears are wrecking/ You're hearing damage"
Where you've heard it: The song plays in what is arguably the best scene in New Moon. Wonder why that is...hmmm....
