Carter Burwell Returning to Twilight?

I find this odd and early at that too... 

But as I scope for news, I came across an article from The Playlist about the score for Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2. 

According to the article, Carter Burwell, who scored the first movie, Twilight, is returning to score both parts of Breaking Dawn. He has a relationship with Condon, the director, as he worked with him on Gods and Monsters.

Most directors will use composers that they feel comfortable with and have worked with before. So naturally, Condon will chose a composer that he is familiar with and can take the story and develop the music for it. 

I for one am not happy about this. I find this to be way to early talking about composers for the movies since it doesn't release until November of both 2011 and 2012. Also, I wasn't as impressed with the Twilight score as I was with New Moon or Eclipse, New Moon being my favorite of the three so far. 

So for now, I hope that this is just talk and that a better composer is chosen for the final two movies.

Paste Magazine: The 50 Best Albums of the Decade

So I'm going through tweeter today and catch this awesome tweet from @PasteMagazine about the 50 Best Albums of the Decade (2000-2009) and I start looking. And what do I find??? 

In at #45 is Radiohead In Rainbows (2007). Other than me really, really liking this band, their song "15 Step" was the closing song for Twilight. 

In at #39 is Arcade Fire Neon Bible (2007). This band is a favorite of mine, so check them out!! 

In at #37 is Iron & Wine Our Endless Numbered Days (2004). Their song "Flightless Bird" was also featured in Twilight during the prom scene. 

In at #32 is The Flaming Lips Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (2002). This is another favorite of mine!! 

In at #31 is Death Cab for Cutie Transatlanticism (2003). Among one of my favorite all time bands, their song "Meet me on the Equinox" was the title track for New Moon. 

In at #29 is Bon Iver For Emma, Forever Ago (2008). They appear along with St. Vincent, and provided us the lead in with "Rosyln" during the New Moon 'Breakup scene'.

In at #21 is Vampire Weekend Vampire Weekend (2008). This is another favorite band of mine with "Giving up the Gun" and "Holiday". They were featured on the Eclipse soundtrack with "Jonathan Low." You know, the scene where Bella (would have never done that) jumps on the back of the motorcycle with Jacob?

In at #19 is Beck Sea Change (2002). Beck is an oldie for me, "Loser" is still one of my favorites along with, "The New Pollution" and "Gamma Ray". He collaborated with Bat for Lashes in "Let's Get Lost" from the Eclipse soundtrack. 


In at #14 The Strokes Is This It (2001). Another one of my favorite bands! 


In at #6  The White Stripes Elephant (2003). Favorite Band! 


In at #3 Arcade Fire Funeral (2004). Really getting into this one! Check them out! 


Those are just to name a few. Did your favorite band make the list? Check out Paste Magazine for complete list and let me know yours!

Amazon and The 2010 Best Magazine Cover

And the winner is............................................................?

Amazon.com customers, you have spoken, and the Best Magazine Cover of the Year for 2010 is Harper's Bazaar's "Twilight" cover from December 2009, also our Best Vampire Cover winner. Of the cover, the magazine's editors wrote:
"People of all ages sunk their teeth into the Twilight saga. At the forefront of the vampire phenomenon were Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, who graced our December subscriber cover in a rare shot together. Harper’s Bazaar was the only monthly magazine to feature the couple on a cover. While the epic image played on the idea of courtship, it was given extra heat due to their real-life romance."
Congratulations to Harper's Bazaar, and to all the finalists from each category.



I own this copy and to this date, this photo shoot has been the hottest I've seen from them! Beautiful children I tell you!!! LOL

Congratulations Harper's Bazaar and Twilight!

James Franco and Twiligh? Who knew?

 MTV News recently caught up with James Franco (best known on TV's soap General Hospital and movies like Pineapple Express) at the Toronto International Film Festival and apparently he is all up in the Twilight craze! I think it's kinda of cute, that Franco has an interest in this series.

He is currently reading Breaking Dawn and like most of us, he is disappointed about the lack of sex in the book. He is quoted as saying...  
"I read a part of it. I think I got to the sex scene, but it was so brief, I didn't even know if it was the actual sex scene," he admitted. "It was kind of a letdown after all that buildup."
Can I say one thing... Na, not going there... Thank God for Fan Fiction!!!! LOL

Twilight Road Signs???

My sister brought this funny little thing to my attention... Twilight Themed Road Signs????

Yep! According to The Portland Mercruy's Blogtown, Oregon roads may be a little safer after some Twilight inspired road signs were put up... like the one below. 

I personally think it's a cute approach to the younger crowd to get them to buckle up and stay safe but also think it's a big distraction... Said the chick who yells at every Volvo she sees on the road, LOL!
