The soundtrack, which sees Reznor team up once again with English musician Atticus Ross, was nominated for the 2011 Golden Globe award for Best Original Score – Motion Picture.

This follows the success of Reznor and Ross’ soundtrack for David Fincher’s previous film, The Social Network, which went on to win nine major awards.

Finally laying to rest years of speculation regarding potential new material, Keenan has in recent months been dedicating himself to the reformation of his other band, A Perfect Circle, while also working on a second solo project under the Puscifer pseudonym.

Speaking with Loudwire, the vocalist underlined the fact that the recording process is still at a very early stage, indicating that the band’s guitarist Adam Jones and drummer Danny Carey are writing new material and laying down the foundations to what will be the group’s 5^th official release.

“I’m allowing them their space to do what they do, so we’re still in that mode,” he’s quoted as saying. “Even if they told me how close they are to being done, I couldn’t tell you because if I say 60 percent people will start counting down. When it’s done everyone will know. But I haven’t done anything yet. They write forever and then we go in and knock it all out. We’re writing. We’re writing vocals. But nothing’s solid.”

Regarded as one of the pioneers of the late 1980s Madchester movement – a subgenre characterised by its fusion of psychedelic and dance rock music – the band’s release of their 1989 self-titled debut was met with critical acclaim.

Often cited as one of British music’s greatest ever debuts, The Stone Roses’ success would go on to be short-lived, recording just one more album in 1994 amid record label issues and bitter disputes between band members.

With Second Coming failing to live up to the expectations created by their stellar debut, singer Ian Brown, guitarist John Squire, bassist Gary “Mani” Mounfield and drummer Alan “Reni” Wren eventually parted ways in 1996, stating that they would never get back together.

In the aftermath of The Stone Roses’ breakup, Brown created six albums, Mani joined Primal Scream, Squire released one unsuccessful album with The Seahorses, while Reni, who also had limited success, created his own band The Rub.

Now finally addressing reporters at a packed Soho Hotel in London, the band finally revealed plans to tour following weeks of intense speculation.

Commencing with two gigs next year and a world tour, when asked about the possibility of releasing a new album, Ian Brown replied: “We hope so, but we said that before didn’t we?

“We’ll ride this until the wheels come off, like we did last time.”

Having initially failed in their quest to acquire rights from the four major record companies, The New York Times  now indicate that Google have re-entered negotiations in a bid to offer a service similar to Apple.

With the launch of Apple’s new cloud service, ITunes Match, being earmarked for the end of the month, Google executives are said to be eager to open the store beforehand. Leaving little time to finalise the rights to sell songs, inside sources seem to suggest that Google are only close to sealing a deal with the smallest of the major record labels, EMI.

Morello, who is no stranger to political activism and leftist ideas, had previously been present at the Occupy Los Angeles protests, a movement that grew from a similar discontent towards North American’s distribution of wealth.

Performing as the Nightwatchman, last week Morello played a set for protestors in Los Angeles, including a cover of Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land”.
