Ever busy,
The National have contributed a song to the soundtrack of
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The album follows in the recent tradition of teen-targeted film soundtracks by being loaded with indie artists whose usual fans aren't necessarily buying tickets for the films themselves. You'd wonder what the purpose is, but it turns out a lot of these artists get a nice little paycheck from their contributions, paid upfront, at that, by the megalithic film production companies. You gots to be selling.
