To the relief of comics-fans everywhere, director Sam Raimi seems to understand this essential appeal Marvel’s beloved frontman. In all likelihood, Spider-Man will explode in a mélange of all things stunning, wowing, even endearing. I don’t think any of us will be disappointed...

Which is no surprise really: the band is the brainchild of, amongst others, the inimitable Damon Albarn. Frontman of the quintessentially British sounding band, Blur, he still managed to strap on some sneakers and make like a New York indie band with “Song 2” (aka the “Woohoo Song”).
