The Twilight World

I received the following message from Atlantic Records today:

Due to overwhelming and unprecedented demand, Chop Shop/Atlantic Records have announced a new release date for THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK. By far the most anticipated soundtrack of the year, the compilation will now be released this Friday, October 16th, four days earlier than originally scheduled! If you have pre-ordered the album, you can expect it to arrive on that date or shortly afterwards.

In addition, we would like to exclusively announce that in the physical CDs, the booklet folds out into a poster! The image is below. Make sure to head out on Friday to get your copy of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON Soundtrack!

1. Get advance tickets! This is more for peace of mind. You don’t want to be left out on the cold when every showing is sold out, do you? There are several sites you can go to NOW to get tix to screenings on November 20, including: movietickets.com, fandango.com and AMC Theaters. If they don’t have them now, keep checking back on all three sites closer to the premiere date for screenings in your area. You’ll probs need your parents’ credit card, so start sucking up to them!
(liten instickare; www.sf.se är vad som gäller för oss)

2. Have Your Premiere Team In Place! Um, hello? You don’t want to get stuck sitting in the front row, do you? (”Hey, I can see up RPattz’s nose!”) Make sure you’ve lined up which of your besties is going with you and what everyone’s role is — seat saver, ticket retriever, candy getter, bathroom scouter, etc.! You’ll probably need at least 4 peeps, but if you have less, divide up the duties. This is like strategizing for battle, only more intense!

3. Choose your clothes now! Better to get this out of the way then to hold everyone up while you apply glitter to your entire body in an effort at getting that Cullen effect. And, no, you don’t HAVE to dress up like a character, but it’s a good convo starter when you’re waiting in line. Maybe you’ll meet an Edward lookalike when you’re dressed as Bella!

4. Tune out as much as possible! Yes, you know how this one’s gonna end, if you’ve read the book. But you won’t know HOW director Chris Weitz put all the pieces in place. So try to stay as spoiler-free about the movie as possible to maximize the Taylor shirtless viewing pleasure. The New Moon Illustrated Companion just came out, which has lots of behind-the-scenes info. Think you can avoid reading it until after November 20? It’s called willpower, people!

5A. Drink lots of tea with honey! Why, you ask? Well, you’re going to want to keep those pipes fresh and healthy, because you may be doing lots of screaming once you’re sitting in that theater and the lights go down! But if you’re not a screamer, you may want to consider…

5B. Buy earplugs! Telling people to ”shhhh!!!” during the important parts? Not gonna work. That’s why you may need one of these special filtered earplugs(apoteket för oss Sweden-folk), which blocks out ambient noise (annoying girl next to you losing her mind during any Rob scene) while making sure you can still hear what’s happening onscreen. Sure, they’re a little more expensive than cotton balls, but your eardrums will thank you!

As we get closer to the big day, we have more tips and tricks. But for now, start preppin’ your New Moon plan!

Ms. Patsavas, known for her work on television shows like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Gossip Girl,” said she was confident that the “New Moon” soundtrack would include Thom Yorke, Bon Iver and Band of Skulls. Death Cab for Cutie’s “Meet Me on the Equinox,” the first single, had its premiere on MTV.com on Sunday, as part of a “Twilight” promotional blitz surrounding MTV’s Video Music Awards. There has been extensive speculation in the music industry all summer about who else would be included. Representatives of Grizzly Bear and the Killers said those groups would be on the soundtrack, but Ms. Patsavas declined to comment, saying that the track list would be completed and announced on Friday.

Publicity for the Twilight sequel New Moon is heating up as the film’s release date, November 20, creeps closer. *squeals excitedly* take40.com reported this morning that Death Cab For Cutie will have the lead single for the New Moon soundtrack, a song titled ‘Meet Me On The Equinox’.

But we have some more exciting New Moon goss!

When we spoke to Bert McCracken of The Used yesterday, he revealed that a new song of theirs entitled ‘For You I Would’ was set to be the title track!

“It’s gonna be a big deal,” Bert told take40.com. “We wrote a really awesome original song for the movie.”

Bert also said that former Nine Inch Nails musician Danny Lohner produced the track.

Tennessee rockers Paramore were catapulted to international stardom when their single ‘Decode’ was chosen as the title track to ‘Twilight’. The ‘New Moon’ soundtrack hits stores on October 20.
