The Eclipse Soundtrack - Revealed!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 12 May 2010 15:04:55 PDT

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. 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. 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?

Music Video: Lavender Diamond, "Open Your Heart"

When I saw LA neo-folkies Lavender Diamond open for the Decemberists last year, I wasn't quite sure what to make of them. They were either completely charming or way too sweet and precious - and that went double for lead singer Becky Stark, who reminded me alternately of someone who could be my best friend and someone who should be hosting children's television.

Their new video - for the single "Open Your Heart," off their first album, Imagine Our Love, - isn't helping me make up my mind. Directed by Sia (yes, that one), the video shows Becky on old-school rollerskates, teetering through the streets with delicate eggs in her hands and a big smile on her face. It's definitely cheesy - but at the same time, I'm kind of loving the song, which is a simple, pretty anthem for spring. You can check out the video (thanks to Stereogum for the tip) and tell me what you think if you
