Flight of the Concords – ‘I Told You I Was Freaky’
‘I Told You I Was Freaky’ is the upcoming second studio album by New Zealand folk parody duo Flight of the Conchords. It will feature 13 songs. Out of those 13, 10 were released as singles on the American iTunes Store following their debut on TV. The two songs, “Too Many Dicks (On the Dance Floor)” and “You Don’t Have To Be A Prostitute” have recently been confirmed on the album. [2]. The sixth track, “Rambling Through the Avenues of Time” is a lyric from the song “Bret’s Day” which is presumably what the song will be. The release date of the album is October 20th, and October 26th in the UK. It was recently posted on a blog on their myspace page that the CD will feature 1 sticker and 4 badges (buttons). It will also feature a lyric book with the not only the lyrics, but the chords to each song as well. One of the songs (as of yet unannounced) from this album will be released as part of a downloadable track pack for the video game, Rock Band.

Original Soundtrack (Various Artists) – ‘Twilight: New Moon’
New Moon’s soundtrack comprises songs that are all original and exclusive to the soundtrack and are performed by various indie rock and alternative rock artists. New Moon director Chris Weitz stated that the soundtrack would feature songs from Radiohead, Muse, and Band of Skulls. Death Cab for Cutie contributes the soundtrack’s lead single, a song written specifically for the film called “Meet Me on the Equinox”, which debuted September 13 during the MTV Video Music Awards. Bassist Nick Harmer says, “We wrote ‘Meet Me On the Equinox’ to reflect the celestial themes and motifs that run throughout the Twilight series and we wanted to capture that desperate feeling of endings and beginnings that so strongly affect the main characters.” The English rock band Muse contributes a remix of their song “I Belong to You”, which appears in its original form on their 2009 album ‘The Resistance’. St. Vincent collaborated with Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon to create a song called “Rosyln”. When describing the song, she said, “[Justin] sings in his beautiful falsetto and I’m actually singing very, very low… I think there’s something vampirey and creepy about the two of us singing together. It’s a simple, stripped-down kind of song.” The soundtrack, which was chosen by music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas, will be released on October 16, 2009 by Chop Shop Records in conjunction with Atlantic Records. It has risen to number 2 on the U.S. iTunes Store Top Albums chart from pre-orders alone.
