Radiohead have donated a track for a competition being run by MTV as part of the Samaritan's Need To Talk campaign. MTV are inviting wannabe film makers to make a 30 -– 60 second film or animation based on the phrase 'need to talk' -– the film will be set to Radiohead's 'Meeting In The Aisle', a track recorded during the 'OK Computer' sessions.
Radiohead have supported the Samaritan's on a number of projects –- with drummer Phil Selway helping to man their phones – he explains: "When the biggest killer of young men in the UK is themselves, anything the band can do to draw attention to the issue of emotional health is worthwhile."
Talking about the band's involvement in the competition MTV marketing director James Scroggs told reporters: "Radiohead have been generously supportive in offering an exclusive track, and their endorsement will both inspire the film-makers and help bring the issue of discussing emotional issues to the fore."
Filmmakers wanting to submit films can find full info and download the Radiohead soundtrack at http://www.mtv.co.uk/needtotalk. The deadline for entries is 25 Apr.
