Which artist's appearance on the "New Moon" soundtrack dismays you the most?

Two to one says Owl City does the title track for the next one.

Grizzly Bear are by far my favourite on that list, so probably them. But, saying that, I imagine it's, you know, paid their rent for a few months, so fair play.

how any of these artists can be seen as somehow 'above' teen vampire movie soundtracks is beyond me

of the ones i've heard of anyway, maybe the other ones were XXindieXXforXXlyfeXX up until this point

TS: teen vampire movies vs the worst fucking series in the entire free world

not losing any sleep

TS: indie snobs vs vampire fiction snobs

TS: rhetorical populism for the sake of making yourself look above it all vs Stephanie Meyers is functionally illiterate and should be crushed by giant Care Bears

could have been for a dan brown adaptation. and at least these filims have kristen stewart.

My wife's been reading this Twilight series, totally for the trashy parts (and because it reminds her of stuff people read in high-school). I can't deal with this series -- or the Harry Potter series, for that matter.

new moon remix wtf

hahahaha that caught my eye, too

Inclined to vote the Bon Iver/St. Vincent collaboration, but if this inspires them to record more stuff together I can't hate on it all that much.

OK Go dismays in the sense that anyone is still giving them money for music.

have never seen Thom Yorke write anything that suggests he's not functionally illiterate either tbh

(and because it reminds her of stuff people read in high-school)

it is stuff people read in high school

You don't see the Nobel-worthy qualities of "Ambition makes you look pretty ugly/Kicking squealing Gucci little piggy"?

For anyone who's heard this, are any of the songs worth checking out? Or is mostly second-tier non-album tracks?

They put the "gucci little piggy" line on a freaking t shirt.

I read something once theorizing that each word in the phrase "kicking squealing gucci little piggy" was a reference to one of the Spice Girls, and I've never been able to get that interpretation of the song out of my head since then.

Ummmm I like the lyrics to Paranoid Android.. I guess I'm shallow.

It was def not a Spice Girls reference.

hahahahahaha wasn't that an ILX theory???????? Or did an ILXor just post it here?

I did! Hahah I know I first heard that take from my friend Stripey, but I can't recall if she had thought that up or was taking that from somewhere else. I'll ask her about it.

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Sporty Scary Posh Baby Ginger

Almost scans too. Too bad she wasn't Poshie.

oh i definitely don't think the person with that theory was right, i just think it's really funny

i could've seen it on ilx first, don't really remember, but didn't wanna say so unless i could find it in the archives

(I like "Paranoid Android" too but it is kind of a silly song lyrically)

OK i see it here but i swear i'd heard of it somewhere else several years earlier: Why was the one Spice Girl who was black called "Scary Spice"?

btw the Spice Girls theory is way way way WAY more interesting than the actual story:

Paranoid Android was a complicated affair, not least because of the three disparate yet cohesive sections. It had been inspired by a bad experience Thom had one night in a Los Angeles bar. He had gone there for a quiet drink, but found himself surrounded by parasitic groupie types and pretentious California posers. Unbeknown to him, virtually everyone in the room, except himself, was on cocaine. Thom: "The people I saw that night were just like demons from another planet. Everyone was trying to get something out of me. I felt like my own self was collapsing in the presence of it, but I also felt completely, utterly part of it, like it was all going to some crashing down any minute." The band had been playing the song for months in rehearsals, but that night, while he couldn't sleep, the lyrics flooded into Thom's head at 5am. Of particular horror to him was one especially vicious lady who had a drink spilt over her dress and whose face contorted in venom at the culprit - she was the 'kicking, squealing Gucci little piggy' that Thom sang of and he was horrified. Thom: "Basically it's just about chaos, chaos, utter fucking chaos."

(also lol @ turning this into a Radiohead thread)

Have no opinion on these indies, and am not a friend of this franchise, but I do hope to hear the other album on Koch which is all Alexandre Desplat's film score. Desplat has done some absolutely killer score work this decade, though he also has a kind of generically-wistful mode which he phones in on some films, and I sort of suspect that's what we'll get with this one.

I never thought I'd see a list where Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is the most appealing-sounding thing on there

Unbeknown to him, virtually everyone in the room, except himself, was on cocaine.

How did he find this out?

I need some Rush fans here but the first 30 seconds of the Equinox song by Death Cab sounds like early 90s Rush!!!

I swear someone tell me I'm not crazy...like some album track off Roll the Bones or something....

the OK Go really does present as the odd one out here

xpost -- why ARE you here, Matt? Because you're here?

the new moon soundtrack is a parallax, you dig?

woah I was listening to this song the other day while cleaning and I wondered where I'd heard that theory, I probably got it from ILX too!

Thom Yorke, of course. I'd do it for the money too on the other hand. They should have thrown in a token Berlin minimal track for the OST, just to send the twats into incredulous mode even more.

My prediction - the Americanized adaptation of Let the Right One In will have at least one artist from the Warp Label as well.

Who the fuck are Band of Skulls? At least the got one of the "Wolf" bands.

>Desplat has done some absolutely killer score work this decade.

completely otm. The Benjamin Button score often soundtracks my commute, and his work on Birth was incredible too (particularly the opening theme).

re this poll, I'm only a fan of Death Cab and Thom Yorke from that list and have no problem with them doing this kind of thing; my wife's 12 year old niece is a huge fan of the books and the last film and has been hyped about this for months so if this OST gives her an introduction to some types of music other than the mobile phone ringtones of her mates then it's pretty positive imo.

I thought BMRC had broken up, so them I guess.

But I am gonna rag the shit out of my brother in law over this, because he's always on about fucking schmindie and how much he hates inauthentic, trashy entertainment (like America's Next Top Model). Now I have an easy segue from pretending that I can't tell Panda Bear from Grizzly Bear ("Which one's in that band you love, Collective Animal?") to asking him if he's going to go see the new Twilight movie because all his favorite bands are in it. It wouldn't be nearly as much fun if he didn't take it all so seriously.

that is fantastic and something I am seriously considering bringing to the next Pitchfork thread

I think the whole s/t is awesome and hilarious for the furor it inspires in smindie folks.

I need some Rush fans here but the first 30 seconds of the Equinox song by Death Cab sounds like early 90s Rush!!!

Hm, what it reminded me of was something off of one of their 80s live albums. Like an early 80s take on "The Trees" or something.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

incurring the wrath of Ned here prob but my first reaction upon hearing the Death Cab track was "when did Death Cab turn into Placebo?"

I have now heard the Desplat score CD BTW, and it's quite good. Sample the cue 'Werewolves' for some fantastic eerie string-harmonics.

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

2 Corinthians 11:14-15

Hahahah

Surely this would be an improvement to be welcomed.
