Twilight gets it right again.
On the soundtrack at least.
When
New Moon announced their soundtrack of Thom Yorke, Grizzly Bear, Sea Wolf
etc we were pleasantly stunned. This was written off
by some idiots (pitchfork) who didn't realize what a huge
moment this was good music. The Jonas Brothers generation of
teens was exposed to some really different music, and new artists.
We should have praised
Twilight more for taking this route.
Now with this summer Eclipse the producers have assembled and
equally impressive list of artists, and songs. Beck and Bat for Lashes,
The Black Keys, Muse, The Dead Weather, and Band of Horses are
just a part of this awesome collection of songs.
There is a free preview of all the music here:
http://eclipsesoundtrack.com/preorder/Finally in a world of remakes, sequels, and bland dumb downs we
get something done right. Now the Twilight movies themselves aren't amazing,
but they are good enough. At least they hit a home run with the soundtrack.
This music is going into households it's never gone before. It's going to turn a lot
of people on to bands, and music they have never heard before. We praise
the Twilight staff, and the bands involved. A good thing has happened here.
