Right this moment, you can head over to Amazon and stream the entire New Moon soundtrack. That’s right, you can listen to tracks 1 – 15 as much as you want before the actual album release date! The only catch is that you’re only given 30 second clips for each song. We know; what a tease!
However, 30 seconds of one of most highly anticipated compilation put together for a film just might be worth it. You can finally hear what Thom Yorke, Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver & St. Vincent have secretly been cooking up.

It’s here! Death Cab For Cutie has just released their music video for their New Moon song, “Meet Me On The Equinox.”
Hipster teens and gothic Twi-hards can finally unite in heartbreak. With Ben Gibbard still sporting that long hair after his wedding with Zooey Deschanel and Robert Pattinson‘s pasty yet chiseled abs, girls (and guys) all over will be drooling by the end of this clip. At the very least, they can join the K-Stew club as they gasp by repeatedly playing it. (Why is her mouth always hanging open?)
Overall, the video serves its purpose as a teaser for the second part of the Twilight saga. Although, we were a bit afraid the band was going to get sparkly on us at one point… Check it out below and let us know what you think!

The New Moon soundtrack has been announced, and it couldn’t be any more different from the first one! We knew it was going to have an indie sound, but this is just ridiculous! Ridiculous in a good way, anyway.
We had known about Thom Yorke, Bon Iver, Band of Skulls, and Death Cab For Cutie but who knew the Bon Iver track was going to be a duet with St. Vincent! Others that were recently suspected and now confirmed are The Killers, Grizzly Bear, and Stephanie Meyer’s muse, Muse.
Although one part of us is surprised that indie darlings, Anya Marina and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, are also in the mix, another part says this makes sense. A few of these artists are somehow associated with Alexandra Patsavas’ label, Chop Shop, or her close friends, Nettwerk Music Group. Check out the full track list below and tell us what you think!

With the success of the first soundtrack to the Twilight Saga, there is much speculation of who will be contributing to the second soundtrack for next film, New Moon. Will the heart throb, Robert Pattinson, be doing a couple of songs again? Will Stephanie Meyer’s favorite band, Muse, be on the next one as well?
According to famous film critic site, Rotten Tomatoes, New Moon‘s own director, Chris Weitz, has gotten a few offers from Thom Yorke. Some may be wonder why Yorke would ever stoop to such a teeny bopper opportunity, but some aren’t as shocked since Radiohead had already given Twilight’s first director, Catherine Hardwicke, permission to use “15 Step” as the song for closing credits. Weitz is also hoping to get Kings of Leon in on the new film.
What do you think of Thom Yorke’s enthusiasm in regards to New Moon‘s soundtrack? Is he a sell out? Is the Twilight saga lucky to have him? Is this a good idea? Vote below to let us know, then check out everything director, Chris Weitz, had to say about it!
