Music of Twilight: New Moon


Okay so maybe I'm one of two people left on this planet who haven't yet jumped onto the Twilight saga bandwagon but I just don't see what's so special about it. My workmate lent me the first book a couple of months ago and I told her I wasn't going to read it. Needless to say, that same book is still sitting on my desk collecting dust. Sorry.

And I really don't think the lead characters are hot - you're joking right? I know it's the characters they play that everyone is in love with but still.
Anyways I'm not here to diss the movie/book/teen love story/whatever, I'm actually here to applaud the people who chose the music for the soundtrack of the second installment of the series: New Moon.
Have you guys checked out the track-listing? It's fantastic!
For those who can't see it above - I've rewritten it below for you :)

1. Death Cab for Cutie - Meet Me On the Equinox
2. Band of Skulls - Friends
3. Thom Yorke - Hearing Damage
4. Lykke Li - Possibility
5. The Killers - A White Demon Love Song
6. Anya Marina - Satellite Heart
7. Muse - I Belong To You (New Moon Remix)
8. Bon Iver & St. Vincent - Rosyln
9. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Done All Wrong
10. Hurrican Bells - Monsters
11. Sea Wolf - The Violet Hour
12. OK Go - Shooting the Moon
13. Grizzly Bear (with Victor Legrand) - Slow Life
14. Editors - No Sound But the Wind
15. Alexandre Desplat - New Moon (The Meadow)

Bonus iTunes track:
16. Lupe Fiasco - Solar Midnite

Actually makes me want to go out and buy the record or download it, even though I have no interest in the story / concept of what these songs are supposedly relating to.

Check it out!
