Karen O Debuts Single From Where The Wild Things Are

If you’re as excited for Spike Jonze‘s adaptation of the Where The Wild Things Are as we are, every little morsel of information revealed about the film makes the release date of October 16th seem more and more like an eternity away. The most recent teaser comes from the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Karen O, who with the help of an untrained children’s choir created “Love is All,” the first single from the upcoming soundtrack. As a stand-alone single it’s far from mind-blowing but should fit in nicely with the child-like vibe of the film.

The People Speak (trailer)

Synopsis:
The People Speak is a documentary based on Howard Zinn‘s groundbreaking books A People’s History of the United States and Voices of a People’s History of the United States, featuring music by Eddie Vedder and performances by Viggo Mortensen, Sandra Oh, Sean Penn, Rosario Dawson, Don Cheadle, John Legend, and many other great performers, will air on The History Channel and be released on a special DVD at some point.  The People Speak shows the rich history of dissent in our history, and explores why it is so relevant and urgent today.
