Do you like movies (and books) (and TV shows) about teenage vampires? I don’t, but apparently a lot of people do! (Ask me how many friends I’ve made sad by talking shit about the universally beloved Buffy The Vampire Slayer.) I know personally that at least a few Idolator readers out there follow Stephanie Meyer’s atrociously written and ridiculously popular Twilight series–”the latest vampire novel-qua-metaphor for a teenage girl’s sexual awakening,” as a friend recently called it–often in spite of themselves. As a hangover follows binge drinking, a movie follows any publishing world sensation aimed at young adults, and a soundtrack follows (or precedes, usually) a movie. But will faux-fanged tweens and teens (and the adults who should know better) plunk down $9.99 for a Twilight OST featuring an “exclusive” tune from… Perry Farrell? Abandon hope, all ye who check out the full tracklist after the jump.
1. Muse — Supermassive Black Hole
2. Paramore — Decode
3. The Black Ghosts — Full Moon
4. Linkin Park — Leave Out All The Rest
5. MuteMath — Spotlight (Twilight Mix)
6. Perry Farrell — Going All The Way (Into The Twilight)
7. Collective Soul — Tremble For My Beloved
8. Paramore — I Caught Myself
9. Blue Foundation — Eyes On Fire
10. Rob Pattinson — Never Think
11. Iron & Wine — Flightless Bird, American Mouth
12. Carter Burwell — Bella’s Lullaby
say it ain’t so, joe [ONTD]
Can’t give a shit about the movie or anything else on the CD, but hey, 2 new Paramore songs, cool.
Where’s Tokio Hotel?
I’m sure Iron And Wine is really excited about this.
Two Paramore songs feels like pandering.
“Decode” leaked last week, it’s not bad but not terribly different from other Paramore songs. (Also, Hayley Williams apparently said Twilight is the first series of books she’s ever read. Which maybe explains why her lyrics have lot of room to grow.)
Not since The Crow!
Does someone in charge of this thing expect the books’ primary audience to know what Collective Soul was? Or am I too old and out of touch to realise that the latest hip thing that the kids are down with is washed-up pseudo-Christian grunge-pop also-rans?
That’s one of the better Collective Soul songs, but it’s 9 years old… why include it on the soundtrack?
