Karen O Is 'Where The Wild Things Are'

She Shoots, She Scores

Although the inter-breeding of the music industry and the film industry is nothing new, it seems musicians are looking for new ways to channel their artistic spirit, while simultaneously making a penny or two. The film score for Spike Jonze's adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's book, Where the Wild Things Are, - try saying that 10 times- has been almost entirely written by Yeah Yeah Yeah's front-woman, Karen O. In an age of pirate downloads, this not only introduces a new money-making sphere for musicians but also generates a greater and varied film viewership.
