…cause it looks like it might actually be good. By Pitchfork standards, which are of course “If you’ve heard of it, it’s not cool anymore.” Well, not all the time, but often enough. While the blogger has to obnoxiously make sure that we know that he doesn’t know any of the character names in New Moon (yet of course he knows that it sucks–but I digress), he is shocked–shocked!–that artists like Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Grizzly Bear and Bon Iver are contributing tracks.
I shatter all my hipster cred constantly, so it will be no surprise to regular readers here that I like New Moon. Furthermore, I don’t like Radiohead. I find Thom Yorke’s voice far more grating than Stephenie Meyer’s dialogue, and I find pretentious indie rock bloggers more grating than either one.
Whatever, I’m just a nerd girl. 
But if you’re interested in the tracks on the soundtrack, here they are:
Twilight: New Moon Soundtrack:
01 Death Cab for Cutie: “Meet Me on the Equinox”
02 Band of Skulls: “Friends”
03 Thom Yorke: “Hearing Damage”
04 Lykke Li: “Possibility”
05 The Killers: “A White Demon Love Song”
06 Anya Marina: “Satellite Heart”
07 Muse: “I Belong to You (New Moon Remix)”
08 Bon Iver and St. Vincent: “Rosyln”
09 Black Rebel Motorcycle Club: “Done All Wrong”
10 Hurricane Bells: “Monsters”
11 Sea Wolf: “The Violet Hour”
12 OK Go: “Shooting the Moon”
13 Grizzly Bear: “Slow Life”
14 Editors: “No Sound But the Wind”
15 Alexandre Desplat: “New Moon (The Meadow)”

sorry, it’s pretty easy to be snarky about muse.

I quite enjoy Radiohead, so I hope the Thom Yorke song is available as an individual download on Amazon. At least this will expose a huge audience to some bands that they might not otherwise come across.

I actually love Pitchfork as it’s my main source for great music. I couldn’t care less about indie cred, cliques, or the never-ending “mainstream versus indie” battle that has raged on for decades in both the comics and music world. Pitchfork just has well-written reviews that inform my opinion on worthwhile new music, never mind the labels attached.
I also don’t care about NEW MOON (and I don’t even care enough to hate on it) but that is quite a good tracklist, it must be said.

I think that’s the first time I’ve ever seen the words “well-written” and “pitchfork” together in the same sentence.

…annnnnd yeah another nail in the coffin of me watching this movie….outside of the Killers, and Death Cab For Cutie, I can hardly stand most of these bands….
but then again a 33 black hetero male vampire fan who loves action isn’t exactly the demographic for these movies anyway…
Bring on the next 30 Days of Night installment with pumping heavy rock soundtrack for us action Vamp fans.
