Harry Potter proved that a great franchise can make you a whole lot of money.  Twilight proved that a shitty franchise can do the exact same thing.  The one thing that Twilight did right was its soundtracks.  As crappy as the movies were, the soundtracks were some of the best movie soundtracks being made.  The Hunger Games franchise has arrived giving us the best of both worlds.  A great franchise and a great soundtrack.  Too bad Cameron Crowe never made Singles into a movie franchise.

Here are the 11 Best Songs From The Twilight Soundtracks:

  1. Eclipse All Yours – Metric (Eclipse)
  2. Meet Me On The Equinox – Death Cab For Cutie (New Moon)
  3. Spotlight – Mutemath (Twilight)
  4. Ours – The Bravery (Eclipse)
  5. Neutron Star Collision – Muse (Eclipse)
  6. Flightless Bird, American Mouth – Iron & Wine (Twilight)
  7. Let’s Get Lost – Beck & Bat For Lashes (Eclipse)
  8. No Sound But The Wind – Editors (New Moon)
  9. What Part Of Forever – Cee-Lo Green (Eclipse)
  10. From Now On – The Features (Breaking Dawn 1)
  11. Where I Come From – Passion Pit (Breaking Dawn 2)

If my poll tells me anything, it’s that most of you out there still don’t know anything about Record Store Day…or you just don’t care about records.  That’s okay.  But if you love music…you should know a little something about vinyl.  See, vinyl is an exact physical representation of the sound wave.  Currently, there isn’t any other replay device out there that can match the pure sound that a vinyl record can emit.  If you want to hear a song exactly how it was intended…vinyl is the way to go.  Once a year (technically twice) the music companies release extremely limited albums only on vinyl.  Not just a handful.  This year, it’s somewhere around 250 releases.  Everyone participates.  From David Bowie, Pink Floyd, and the Grateful Dead to The Cure, R.E.M., and Soundgarden, all the way to The xx, Grizzly Bear, and Iron & Wine.  Some of the records are remasters, some are re-issues, some are live, some are demos, some are green, some are splattered, some are clear, some are filled with liquid, some are new recordings, some are old, some have never been released….ever.  And it’s the only time of the year that thousands of people line-up all over the globe (yes, it’s international, too) to buy physical music.  Something worth getting excited about.

Here are the 11 Best Songs by Iron & Wine:

  1. Jezebel (Woman King)
  2. Trapeze Singer (In Good Company)
  3. Rabbit Will Run (Kiss Each Other Clean)
  4. Cinder And Smoke (Our Endless Numbered Days)
  5. Woman King (Woman King)
  6. Boy With A Coin (Shepard’s Dog)

There’s something sadly thrilling about getting to sit in front of my computer and watch Coachells unfold before me without paying hundreds of dollars, enduring crazy temperatures, dust, dirt, and douche bags.  Right now I’m flipping back and forth between New Order and Phoenix.  I couldn’t do that at the festival…I would have to choose…currently, I’m winning.  Because at home, I get both.

While enjoying Coachella from the comfort of my home, I started to realize how many bands have never played the festival…some that I’m actually shocked.  Some I thought for sure had played only to find out they had never made the journey to Indio. (Journey being one of them)  Below is a list of the best bands that have never played Coachella.  I have only chosen bands that are still together.  Reunions…well, that’s really for another list…so, check in tomorrow for that list.

Here are the 11 Best Bands Who Have Never Played Coachella & Should (that are still together):

  1. U2
  2. Pearl Jam
  3. Ryan Adams
  4. Fiona Apple
  5. Tori Amos
  6. Royksopp
  7. Iron & Wine
  8. Burial
  9. Morcheeba
  10. Sufjan Stevens
  11. Garbage
