‘New Moon’ Soundtrack to be more experimental

I can’t stop listening to the Twilight soundtrack, can you? The music for the soundtrack was handpicked by the talented Alexandra Patsavas who has been the music supervisor  for TV shows like The O.C., Roswell, and Chuck, so it’s no wonder the music is very dreamy, and original. Answer Bitch over at E! Online says Patsavas will also be in charge of selecting music for New Moon, except this time she may be taking a more experimental direction to please new Director Chris Weitz. Apparently, he wants to up the ante in the next soundtrack to set the mood for the flick.  Sounds ominous.

From the article:

“I think that might be the way it’s going,” says Marisa Baldi, West Coast partner for Zync, a music brokerage that funneled two songs onto the Twilight soundtrack. “I get the vibe that the guy is a little more into being surprised…everything is really open, and he wants to hear a lot of cool music.”

Hmmm, what songs do you think should be included in the New Moon Soundtrack?  I hope Stephenie Meyer offers them some input on this one. She seems to have a good grasp on new music, and I love the way she talks about being inspired by it when she writes for a character.  Below is her “New Moon” playlist:

Note: this loosely follows the story sequence. I’m going to put a B, E, or J after each song, so you’ll know who’s perspective I’m hearing it from (that might help you categorize them into where they fit in the novel). Mostly B’s of course, since she’s telling the story.)
