Interview with Fincher and Reznor. Great renditon of In the Hall of the Mountain King too. I didn't recognize the name until I heard it, I'm sure everyone else knows it too even if you don't recognize the name of the song.

When I got involved in spring of this year, I saw a rough cut of the title sequence and they had some jangly college rock temped in that immediately gave the film this John Hughes vibe. I thought, "Hmm, I hope he doesn't want anything like that."

Then I went to another screening where they temped our music in and changed the college rock title-sequence song to the piece we made called "Hand Covers Bruise". When I saw it, I got goosebumps and thought, "Holy , that works. I'm into this now. It's completely changed what to expect from the film." ["Hand Covers Bruise" automatically plays in the background at the official Social Network site.] That provided a good template, and it went very smoothly from that point on.

Found another interview with Reznor that really backs up the point FanIn80 made earlier.

Speaking of the film, what was your initial reaction to the idea of a “Facebook movie”? A ton of people seem to think it’s kind of a silly idea.
I myself had the reaction when I got a call from David Fincher, who’s one of my very favorite directors, saying ‘Would you like to score this film?’
‘Yes! What is it?’
‘It’s about social networks. It’s about the founding of Facebook.’
‘Hmm… really? How can that be interesting?’”
When I actually read the script and knowing David was involved — and David brings a level of excellence to what he’s interested in and what he works on — I knew this wasn’t going to be what I feared it could be in lesser hands. [And it became]: How can I help change people’s preconceived notions of what a Facebook movie is — the same feeling I myself had when I first heard of it…. It’s not about Facebook, so much. It’s about people and greed and creation and entitlement. It’s not about how people use Facebook, necessarily.
