Boy, the “Where the Wild Things Are” items are coming fast and furious this morning. I didn’t plan it this way, I swear.
Anyway, generally around late August I begin to start compiling a list of the original song contenders. It’s generally the last category that begins to fall into place after all, so it’s folly to speculate from too far out (which is why you’re greeted with the “coming soon” note in the sidebar for seven months out of the year).
A potential nominee could be in our midst with Karen O’s “All is Love” from “Where the Wild Things Are,” which you can listen to over at MySpace. Any fan of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is bound to enjoy this bouncing little ditty.
Meanwhile, Queen guitarist Brian May was apparently “blown away” by Adam Lambert’s original song for Roland Emmerich’s “2012.” I’m sure that combination is nails on a chalkboard for more than a few people.
