LCD Soundsystem Not AC/DC To Rock Stephen King's Dome
. So, almost needless to say, the upcoming CBS miniseries adaptation of his 2009 novel, Under The Dome, will have some great music moments as well. Radio.com spoke to Dome Music Supervisor Ann Kline, who has worked on The West Wing, Third Watch and ER, about how music will be used on the 13-part series, which premieres June 24 and follows the story of a small Maine town that has mysteriously been cut off from the rest of the world by a impenetrable but invisible dome. King's tastes generally fall within punk rock, heavy rock and Americana (see the "Ultimate Playlist" he wrote for his now-retired Entertainment Weekly column, The Pop Of King). However, the first song to be mentioned in the novel itself is LCD Soundsystem's "North American Scum," an electronic anthem from Brooklyn's most tried and true trendsetters. "We really did want to use that," Kline said of "North American Scum." "We just couldn't afford it! We put it in the scene, it worked great! Hopefully you'll like what we put in instead. It would have been cool to use." She says that, for a number of reasons be it cost or otherwise, the music mentioned in the novel won't always make it to the miniseries. "We can't always use exactly what's in the book, but the producers, directors and writers are totally cool and open-minded about using new and independent bands. It's great to hear music that you know, but it's also exciting to discover something new. But the story comes first." Find out what other music will be featured in the film and more here.
