Sundays are slow.

Twilight has ruined my life. And the title has nothing to do with it.

More and more, it's looking like the The Twilight Saga: New Moon soundtrack will be this fall's Dark Was the Night. We've already heard "Meet Me on the Equinox", Death Cab for Cutie's new song from the teen vampire movie sequel. Director ChrisWeitz has said that both Thom Yorke and Bon Iver have written new songs for the movie. And now we can confirm this New York Times report that Grizzly Bear will also pop up on the soundtrack. Will Vampire Weekend be next, or is that just too obvious? The Times article also mentions that the Killers will be on the soundtrack, which has also been confirmed. New Moon music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas told theTimes that the album's tracklist will be finalized and announced tomorrow. I can't believe I'm excited about this! Patsavas also told the Times why this movie's soundtrack moved away from that of the first Twilight movie, which featured bands like Paramore, Linkin Park, and Collective Soul: "This is a much more somber movie than Twilight. There is a lot of love lost, so the artists that are going to make up the soundtrack reflect that longing-- a lot of acoustic instruments, a lot of a cappella singing. This soundtrack definitely feels a bit more indie than the last one." The Times mentions that a tour of Hot Topic stores is in the works, featuring soundtrack contributors.

You don't realize how much this frustrates me. Can twilight fans even appreciate this kind of music? I highly doubt it. They can all go fuck themselves and they're imaginary sparkling vampire while listening to Lil' Wayne.

Speaking of music... I've been listening to a lot of Concrete Blonde lately. And I love it. But it makes you wonder what other bands you've been missing out on because they're not current. I've had Mexican Moon and Caroline on repeat all day. My dad suggested them to me too. Go figure.

As I sit here typing this in an old sweater and drinking starbucks while it rains outside... I realize I'm really starting to crave winter. I love warm weather and sunny days but growing accustomed to it has me longing for falling snow and indoor heaters. I just hope it doesn't come to soon. My wardrobe isn't ready for the transition.


Lastly in case you were wondering. The photography class wasn't that bad and one of the instructors is quit attractive so it doesn't make it so hard to get up at six in the morning. The camera I was going to use was a piece of shit so I just got a used one from Robert's for ninety dollars. It's still nice though. And it's finally a manual and 35mm. I have a feeling I'm going to have a hard time putting this one down.

Long post. But I don't think I have in a while. Hope everyone has a good sunday and their week starts off right.

Side note: My parents thought they got me to eat meat for lunch today. Little did they know I fed it all to the dog.
