ugh, is the new moon st going to be the next best comp?

Twilight: New Moon, the soundtrack, is gaining a lot of indie momentum apparently.  To the point, where I guess I can’t ignore it.  Death Cab will have their song “Meet Me On the Equinox” as the first single and it’s streaming here at MTV.  There have already been a few confirmations of Thom Yorke and Bon Iver on the compilation.  Now, NYT is reporting that Grizzly Bear will be on it too!? Will one of the best soundtracks emerge from one of the worse movies? I’m a bit bewildered, honestly.
