To fit the description of a music business mogul, no one could be more suited than Tom Silverman. One of the prominent and seminal self-made figures in the industry, passing enthusiasts will undoubtedly be familiar with his name and, of course, his company that became one of the most successful of all independent labels, Tommy Boy Records.

So the rumor that started earlier this week turned out to be true, The Twilight Saga: New Moon is going to feature a pretty cool soundtrack, possibly even better than that of the first film. DirectorChris Weitz confirmed in an interview with HitFix.com that Thom Yorke and Justin Vernon (AKA: Bon Iver) will both produce new songs for the movie.

Well, supposedly. “ says he wrote it for the film, but who ever knows if it might just be something laying around in his cupboard,” Weitz joked. He went on to say he’d be happy with pretty much anything Yorke contributed , “unless it’s sounds of him belching.”

Although happy, Weitz is still hopeful to get more big names on board and admits that the Kings of Leon are still tops on his wish list. Not that the bands super hit “Sex on Fire” would exactly be the best choice for such an uber clean teeny series….. An important goal for Weitz is to fill the sound track with music the actors , crew and himself are really into. In this case after all, the music is hardly plays a make-or-break element with a franchise as popular as Twilight. Teenage girls are bound to show up in swarms regardless of what soundtrack is played while Edward and Bella stare longingly into each others’ eyes .  The movie is slated for release in November 09.
