The Thomas Pynchon novel, “Innerent Vice,” has been turned into a movie by Paul Thomas Anderson, a movie that will be released this Friday, December 15, 2014.

Radiohead guitarist Johnny Greenwood composed the score. Pynchon by the way, wrote the intro to Richard Fariña’s novel, “Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me.”

Here’s a song, “Spooks,” from the film that features vocals from Joanna Newsom, plus music by Greenwood and Supergrass members Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey.

Very cool!
