Twilight: New Moon Soundtrack May Kill Me
Ok, I know we’ve talked about the whole “Twilight” series at length, but I just heard who’s on their new soundtrack and I’m faced with a moral dilemma.
I want to buy the CD, but then I’d be supporting this whole mass hysteria Twilight fad. And I don’t want to be that person. Especially after I bought/read/and immediately regretted buying the Twilight book.
Is anyone else kind of sad that these bands were sucked into being on the soundtrack?
Here’s the list:
Track Listings
1. Meet Me On the Equinox, Death Cab for Cutie
2. Friends, Band of Skulls
3. Hearing Damage, Thom Yorke
4. Possibility, Lykke Li
5. A White Demon Love Song, The Killers
6. Satellite Heart, Anya Marina
7. I Belong To You (New Moon Remix), Muse
8. Rosyln, Bon Iver & St. Vincent
9. Done All Wrong, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
10. Monsters, Hurricane Bells
11. The Violet Hour, Sea Wolf
12. Shooting the Moon, OK Go
13. Slow Life, Grizzly Bear (with Victoria Legrand)
14. No Sound But the Wind, Editors
15. New Moon (The Meadow), Alexandre Desplat

I, for one, can’t wait to hear some of the stuff on this soundtrack.
Me either, but I wish that they all would’ve been like, “You want to put my music in what movie? Naw man, I have to protect the integrity of my creation by not supporting this crap.” You saw what happened to Vanilla Ice when he appeared in “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze.”
I think it’s less TMNT and more The Crow— it’s the soundtrack every Hot Topic kid will be buying downloading.
I can’t wait to go to a midnight showing drunk so I can heckle.
I am excited to hear this album. And I’m more excited that these bands might get some much-deserved attention from the average citizen. I have a dream that one day, only good music will be made/played. And yes, “good” is indeed a biased word to be using!

In order for this to happen, the vast majority of the populace would have to actually care about music quality. So it’ll never happen.

Agreed, which is why I don’t understand why this soundtrack looks the way it does. Does the average high/middle school girl want to listen to Bon Iver and Grizzly Bear? That is the target demographic for this bullshit right?
STUFF STEPHENIE MEYER LOVES:
Then music. No matter how busy I am, I can always listen to music, so I have a longer list of recommendations here. So, awesome CDs I discovered this summer:
* Animal Collective — Merriweather Post Pavillion
* Silversun Pickups — Swoon
* White Rabbits — It’s Frightening
* The Dead Weather — Horehound
* Grizzly Bear — Veckatimest
* Meese — Broadcast
I really should have known about Meese a while ago, but thanks to a mislabeled CD mix, I didn’t realize Meese was responsible for one of my favorite songs until I went to their concert. And then I was glad that I already loved them, because the guys in Meese are possibly the nicest people in the world.
Then some albums that I’ve had for a while now, but that I can’t stop listening to:
* The Weakerthans — Reunion Tour
* Elbow — The Seldom Seen Kid
Seriously, Elbow owns my ipod right now.
Also musical, I got out to a few good concerts. Meese was with Jack’s Mannequin and The Fray—lovely. If you haven’t seen these guys live, do. And then I got to go see Blue October again. I love their shows. You can’t really know Blue October until you see them live. It’s an amazing experience.
p.s. BARF
Reunion Tour is severely underrated.
I adore the Weakerthans and never gave that album much attention.
Who is this Meese person?

No longer by me after finally hearing it performed live. I love that band.
I don’t understand the dilemma. If you want to hear the music on the cd, buy it. Your purchase doesn’t impact a thing in the whole Twilight insanity that is going on.
As for bands “not having integrity” by putting themselves on this cd… well, that’s crazy talk. If you are a band trying to break America (Muse is a perfect example) then why not put yourself on something people are going to be crazy about buying?

I re-read, and I don’t think anyone is having that dilemma. It’s pretty clear that half of us are pumped for this soundtrack and the other half just hate those bands.
No, no, that was my original dilemma. But knowing that buying this cd will not support the Twilight machine and will only help the bands, puts my mind at ease.

Yes. They are good live. Haven’t seen them in a while though.
I’m suprised they don’t get more critical praise or press.
Ever listen to Propaghandi?
So, I was roped into seeing this movie this weekend. Can’t believe I put that out for all to consume on the internet, but whatever, I got really drunk before and I did a lot of yelling during the movie. The Bon Iver song is really awesome. Anyone have this?

Jay and I definitely listened to Propagandhi growing up. Less Talk More Rock is one of my favorite albums ever.
