Personal friends and acquaintances all know of my extreme distaste for the Stephanie Meyers penned Twilight series. And even more of the bland cinematic adaptations that have subsequently spawned by MTV fueled fandom. (Who the hell has ever heard of vampires glittering in the sunlight, it just sounds silly).

A feast of some of the years most somber and melancholy tracks recorded by names MTV still hasn’t uttered (e.g. Editors, Anya Marina, Grizzly Bear). The music an artists on display have crafted a soundtrack much more sophisticated than the movie it’s attached to and far beyond the listening tastes of the film’s target demographic. The album is definitely a “must have”, but a ticket to the premiere…..not so much
