The Eclipse Soundtrack — Revealed!

With Eclipse hitting theaters in just a little over a month, fans have been anxiously anticipating the soundtrack to accompany the third film in the Twilight saga.

With Eclipse hitting theaters in just a little over a month, fans have been anxiously anticipating the soundtrack to accompany the third film in the Twilight saga. We won't get a chance to hear the tunes until June 8, but today the full track listing has been released!

I'm a fan of the New Moon soundtrack, and its follow-up sounds equally promising. Muse is back for another go, but the rest of the list are newbies to Twilight. I'm particularly excited to see Sia's name in the midst of rockers like The Black Keys, Beck, and The Dead Weather and also stoked to see a contribution from Florence and the Machine. The biggest head-scratcher here might be Vampire Weekend; aside from the obvious tongue-in-cheek similarities, the band's music seems a bit too uptempo for the dark subject matter. That said, I'm looking forward to hearing what they came up with. Check out the full playlist and tell me what you think!

Sia's Sign Language/Shadow Puppets Music Video

The brightly-colored, beautiful new video for Sia's song "Soon We'll Be Found" (off her album Some People Have Real Problems) is full of hands in motion.

The brightly-colored, beautiful new video for Sia's song "Soon We'll Be Found" (off her album Some People Have Real Problems) is full of hands in motion. There are lyrics depicted in sign language, shadow puppetry, and neon-bright hands dancing and painting against a black background. The song is pretty, at times more mournful sounding than the visuals might suggest, but overall I'm mesmerized by this whole video.

About her video, Sia explained in a press release, "I've always been obsessed with the beauty of sign language. To ignorant hearing me, the movement and expression appears as a dance — a beautiful, emotive dance. But the real beauty is the communication hidden within these perfect shapes."

Love It or Leave It: Slowed-Down Cover of Britney's "Gimme More"

Back when Alanis Morissette covered Fergie's "My Humps," I thought it was funny.


Back when Alanis Morissette covered Fergie's "My Humps," I thought it was funny. Now Australian pop star Sia has done a cover of Britney's "Gimme More", which comes to us via Underwire, and it actually makes me like the song a little more. Slowed down and made into a sweeter tune, Sia's song is less nightclub and more coffee shop. What do you think of this "Gimme More" — love it or leave it?
