Jeff Buckley On Screen + New Radiohead Track!

Remember months ago when rumours were swirling that scruffy-haired Robert Pattinson was begging to play the role of Jeff Buckley in a biopic of the late singer's life? Well unfortunately for him, it's been announced that Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley has been given the role in Greetings from Tim Buckley. It's not exactly a biopic, but rather a film about the events leading up to the 1991 tribute concert for his late father Tim Buckley. I can see why they chose him; he's got the look and the angsty attitude. I wonder if he can sing, or would that even matter?

However, there's word that a second film based on Buckley is also in the works. The as-yet untitled film directed by Orian Williams and Michelle Sy seems to be a biopic and seems to have everything set, except for a star. Maybe Pattinson will have better luck with this one...

In other news, Radiohead have posted a new song to their YouTube channel. “Staircase” is a five-minute electronic jam that sounds like it fell right off their most recent release, The King of Limbs. It carries the same groovy vibe throughout. The accompanying video performance will be featured on From the Basement, their BBC broadcast premiering July 1. Watch the clip below!
