What’s Badly Drawn Boy doing these days other then amassing the world’s greatest collection of knit caps lovingly stitched by his grandma?
Evidently he’s scoring another film which is perhaps good news because the last time we were seriously interested in BDB’s work was when he penned the score for the film adaptation of Nick Hornby’s novel “About A Boy” in 2002 (Have You Fed the Fish? in 2002 was so awful that we sort of checked out at that point).
Apparently he’s already written the score for a British TV movie called, “The Fattest Man In Britain” which stars character actor Timothy Spall. Evidently, it’s a one-off comedy drama written by Caroline Aherne.
Drawn Boy will release the soundtrack albums as Is There Nothing We Can Do on December 14 in the U.K. Will it hit the U.S.? The TV movie sounds unlikely, but the album? Probably and either way if it isn’t released as an import there’s always those pesky Internet leaks…
