What do you think of the New Moon soundtrack? I took me a while to fall in love with it, but now I'm listening to it constantly…
28 daniel_cullen 12.03.09 at 10:50 am: Thank goodness!! I still really enjoy the compliation of Twilight songs.. I actually was just listening to Bella's lullaby and was thinking.. Damn.. What a great song! Never tired of hearing it.
29 lina_cullen (i♥edward&TSO) 12.03.09 at 10:50 am: LOL
Rob should contribute 1 song (or 5) for every movie he does!
Remeber Me needs a few Rob-ilicious songs.
*imagines Rob's voice….thud*
30 FTW - Bring on Remember Me! 12.03.09 at 10:54 am: Yes yes yes! While he's at it, he should stop wearing clothes. haha. A girl can dream, eh?

Couldn't Have Said It Better!!!!
33 lina_cullen (i♥edward&TSO) 12.03.09 at 10:57 am: LMAO!! he can sit there an dplay the guitar or piano in the nude!
He doesn't even have to worry about the lyrics! Hale he can sing it in a different language & it wouldn't matter.
When you put Rob & naked together! You need a defibrillator and new pair of shamanties!
34 lina_cullen (i♥edward&TSO) 12.03.09 at 11:04 am: *pause here for kodak moment*
*smiles all around*
First of all, love love love your avi!! I've seen it in a video from tifanny666 and I'm hoping it's part of the dvd extra footage!
Second of all I love frolicing too! Minor detail, but though you should know =]
Third of all…well, er…uhm…I guess I only got to second of all lol

what kind of father lets his daughter get on stage infront of billions of kids and pole dance like a w***e!!..
that whole family needs therapy!..i know a good shrink, but am not sure is he deals with non twi obsession patients!..lol
38 Kimberlina Dirty Pirate Hooker 12.03.09 at 11:11 am: YAY! We're taking over the world! This is the best soundtrack I own, it definitely deserves the Grammy!!
39 Kimberlina Dirty Pirate Hooker 12.03.09 at 11:11 am: I still love all of the songs even though I've had the soundtrack for a year now…it never gets old!
40 cullen_daughter_in_law 12.03.09 at 11:13 am: Yes – I'm a newbie. *changes contacts again so gleaming bright red eyes aren't so creepy*
I've been lurking for awhile, and finally got my Disqus profile all setup. I need people I can obsess with about Eclipse coming up. My hubby was sweet enough to listen when NM was coming up, but I'm not sure he's ready for 7 months of me being crazy w/anticipation!
41 miranda [LET'S DO THIS!] 12.03.09 at 11:14 am: me too my little dirty pirate hooker!
42 cullen_daughter_in_law 12.03.09 at 11:18 am: I must admit – the first time I wasn't super-thrilled w/every song on the NM soundtrack – loved Hearing Damage, I Belong to You, Monsters, and the Meadow first time I heard them, but some of the rest weren't instant love. Listened a few more times and the rest really began to grow on me.
Now it's pretty much a constant change-up between Twilight and New Moon soundtrack/score listings. I still need to see New Moon a few more times to make sure I have the line-up right on my playlist
43 mAriE(LovesToFrolic)TSO'sWifey 12.03.09 at 11:20 am: *blushes*
awwww.. shucks.. i feel so exposed when u tear me up like that. i like it! *giggles* ^_^
well i figured since no one is using this, why not use it now right? now it's all mine! muahahahaha. ^_^ i love u avi too! one of robward's genuine smile in the movie. melts me everytime… *sighs longingly*
and yes, the cheesy frolicking. hehehe. as cheesy and funny as it looks in the movie, i still love it. only in NM that i could appreciate such cheesiness that is the slowmo frolicking. my god.. ^_^
*looks at CW*
only u dude, only u. hehehe. ^_^
44 lina_cullen (i♥edward&TSO) 12.03.09 at 11:25 am: haha!! You like me tearing you up do you?
*Rob's voice* Naughtyyyyyy lol
*raises glass* Here's to CW and his cheesy, yet ingenious, frolicing!
45 mAriE(LovesToFrolic)TSO'sWifey 12.03.09 at 11:36 am: oh yes.. i've never felt so exposed? in a good way though. hehehehe ^_^
*raises glass*
cheers to CW! cheers to the frolic!!! ^_^
46 MythicalMonster 12.03.09 at 11:47 am: New Moon the Meadow is soooo beautiful….
Ah, I'm going to see NM again tomorrow!
47 AshleyAnne5 12.03.09 at 11:56 am: haha world domination never tasted so sweet!!
48 Cullen_daughter_in_law 12.03.09 at 12:09 pm: Lucky you – I need to find another time to go see it soon!
I'm hoping they will release sheet music for the Meadow – really want to be able to play that on the piano myself!
49 MythicalMonster 12.03.09 at 12:29 pm: oh, I wish I could play the piano….
50 leahcyr 12.03.09 at 12:37 pm: er.. interesting.. considering the twilight soundtrack kind of bombed..
don't get me wrong, i loved robs songs, and decode, and blue foundation (loveeee blue foundation) .. but the rest of it, as far as i can currently remember, was horrid..
*ducks to avoid angry fans*
51 leahcyr 12.03.09 at 12:39 pm: so i just remembered supermassive black hole..
please don't hate me..
52 leahcyr 12.03.09 at 12:39 pm: so i just remembered supermassive black hole..

56 leahcyr 12.03.09 at 12:50 pm: thanks for the leniency.. forgiveness is nice

57 TeamPattzJaw 12.03.09 at 12:56 pm: woohoo! I just saw Paramore live two days ago!!! And when they started playing Decode everyone started screaming! xD I personally think the twilight soundtrack was way better than New Moons…

I also LOVE New Moon soundtrack and I have a feeling it will be a Grammy nominee as well…and better…because all the songs were specifically written for New Moon…so…there should be more than one song nominated form the CD as well!
72 TEAM PERV 12.03.09 at 3:04 pm: YAY!!! That is incredible news. I really don't know if we will be lucky enough to snag the soundtrack award…but I think Decode will DEFINITELY win for best Song

76 TheHoneyBear 12.03.09 at 11:12 pm: Soooo… this KIND OF implies that Rob and the Brit pack got their first ever Grammy nomination?
Nice.
77 TheHoneyBear 12.03.09 at 11:14 pm: And I'm happy the Grammy Awards recognized how amazing the first movie's soundtrack is.
And also because, this is not gonna be some fan-voting thing like the previous “award shows”.

of course! im a dedicated wifey like that. *blushes*
*hugs attack wifey back* ^_^
82 cutesweetiezzz 12.04.09 at 8:00 pm: I have a feeling the New Moon Soundtrack is going to be nominated next year. I'm so happy right now for the huge success of Twilight.
83 twifan57 12.04.09 at 9:18 pm: Eclipse should have Kings of Leon's song “closer” on it. IT WOULD FIT PERFECTLY!
84 cutesweetiezzz 12.05.09 at 2:00 am: I have a feeling the New Moon Soundtrack is going to be nominated next year. I'm so happy right now for the huge success of Twilight.
85 twifan57 12.05.09 at 3:18 am: Eclipse should have Kings of Leon's song “closer” on it. IT WOULD FIT PERFECTLY!
86 Twinut 01.04.10 at 4:02 pm: it should, so should the score, I don't know what they were thinking getting rid of Carter Burwell. He did an awsome job on the music for Twilight, I still listen to Bellas Lullaby over and over. The music and the score for New Moon sucked big time.
