The 11 Best Songs From The Twilight Soundtracks

Harry Potter proved that a great franchise can make you a whole lot of money.  Twilight proved that a shitty franchise can do the exact same thing.  The one thing that Twilight did right was its soundtracks.  As crappy as the movies were, the soundtracks were some of the best movie soundtracks being made.  The Hunger Games franchise has arrived giving us the best of both worlds.  A great franchise and a great soundtrack.  Too bad Cameron Crowe never made Singles into a movie franchise.

Here are the 11 Best Songs From The Twilight Soundtracks:

1. Eclipse All Yours - Metric (Eclipse) 
2. Meet Me On The Equinox - Death Cab For Cutie (New Moon)
3. Spotlight - Mutemath (Twilight)
4. Ours - The Bravery (Eclipse)
5. Neutron Star Collision - Muse (Eclipse)
6. Flightless Bird, American Mouth - Iron & Wine (Twilight)
7. Let's Get Lost - Beck & Bat For Lashes (Eclipse)

The 11 Best Songs By Muse

The second best day of the year for music fans is coming.  Black Friday 2012 aka Record Store Day Part Deux.  It's much smaller than the typical record store day but almost as exciting:  Acetate Velvet Underground, Rolling Stones EP, David Bowie Picture Disc, and a ridiculously cool Beach Boys single set.  And even though the amount of releases is minor in comparison to the amount of releases in the Spring, it's ironic because it's still more product than was featured in the first couple Record Store Days.  All this means is the longer that Record Store Day exits the bigger it will get.

But there's a more important implication here.  While everyone in the music industry is whining that music sales are down...a holiday that celebrates buying physical musical releases keeps getting larger and more popular every year.  The demand is actually going up.  At what point is the industry going to wake and realize it's not necessarily the internet that's causing the problem...maybe it's the shitty uninteresting music that they're putting out?  Oh wait...that couldn't be the problem...because then the music industry would have to take responsibility for their own demise.  Maybe they should talk to Metallica about how that worked out for them.

I watched the VMAs this Sunday. Not because I wanted to but felt like I had to. I've watched every year since it began...and despite its recent sucking...I can't give up now. This year was not nearly as bad as the last couple years...and yes, Obama is right about one thing...Kanye West is a jackass. But I noticed one thing about the awards...about the reason why it's just not that exciting anymore...it's because there's nothing exciting about it. Green Day gave the best performance. And as much as I like Green Day...15 years ago...they gave almost the exact same performance...and it was the throwaway performance...now it's the centerpiece. Where are the Nirvanas who perform snippets of songs like Rape Me...just to get the censors worried? Where is the bassist of Rage Against the Machine? Where are the duets with Bruce Springsteen and Axl Rose? You gave us Joe Perry and Katy Perry. That was just embarrassing. Has anyone told her that she can't sing? The Janet/MJ dance was good for what it was...but that Single Ladies song and the video are honestly not that good. MTV needs to stop being so homogenuous...and start being daring again. Where is the channel that gave Neil Young video of the year for a video no one had ever seen? MTV used to set the trends...now they not only follow trends...and it's so sadly blatant it seems like they're basically kissing the trends' ass. MTV is no longer in front...and they need to realize...the longer they lag behind...the more likely they'll get left behind.
