Listen, guys: I am not into Twilight. I tried to give it a fair chance, get hip to what the kids are watchin’ and what-have-you. But as soon as Kristen Stewart started flying around on Robert Pattinson’s back, that was it. I was finished. If you love it, good for you. Me, I can’t see what all the fuss is about; and I certainly won’t be clamoring to see the sequel, Twilight: New Moon.

Still, the film does at least have something to recommend it: an incredibly impressive soundtrack, featuring a celebrated new Thom Yorke track, as well as cuts from Death Cab for Cutie, Grizzly Bear with Beach House’s Victoria Legrand, and a Bon Iver/St. Vincent collabo. So, if nothing else, the second installment of the Twilight series just might convince some teenagers that there’s more to music than the Jonas Brothers. (Given that the last Twilight soundtrack made a ginormous splash on the album charts, it’s looking pretty likely.) In fact, kids eager to listen to the soundtrack before its release date (that is, tomorrow) can stream it on MySpace. I like pretty much everything I’ve heard so far, but Lykke Li’s slow, creepily atmospheric “Possibility” is an early favorite.
