Chris Weitz told us that he would make the soundtrack for New Moon available early due to fan demand. True to his word, the soundtrack is live on Amazon.com and iTunes. Amazon has it for really cheap at $4.99 for the mp3 version. While on iTunes it’s $14.99. The iTunes version does come with the Death Cab for Cutie video.

I’m curious about your thoughts on the soundtrack. Ok-Go contributed a song and here are their thoughts:
“It’s a really amazing set of bands. It’s a huge deal,” Damien said. “We grew up listening to the ‘Pretty in Pink’ soundtrack, and I sort of feel like this ‘New Moon’ soundtrack is like ‘Pretty in Pink’ for the new generation….”

For those that may want to listen to the album with friends, Hot Topic is hosting listening parties at 7pm, and the first fans to buy the soundtrack will receive a “special gift” which is limited in quantity.

We’ll try to get Lautner’s reaction to the soundtrack at the Spike Scream awards this weekend.
