Thom Yorke, Killers "New Moon" Song Previews Hit the Web

Thom Yorke's Los Angeles concerts came and went without of a whiff of his New Moon contribution "Hearing Aid," but Radiohead fans — and New Moon die-hards — are about to get a treat. Thirty-second clips of all the songs from the Twilight follow-up's soundtrack have been posted at Amazon's U.K. site.

Peter Travers breaks down all of the fall's most anticipated films.

As Rolling Stone reported, the disc includes tunes by OK Go, Breaking act Band of Skulls and Bon Iver with St. Vincent. Yorke's song is another Eraser-esque goodie that sounds like a more upbeat version of "Harrowdown Hill." Grizzly Bear's "Slow Life" is equally beautiful and atmospheric based on its half-minute preview, while the Killers completely wash away all their Day & Age glean on "A White Demon Love Song." Track running times are available too: Lykke Li is the longevity winner as "Possibility" clocks in at 5:04, while Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's "Done All Wrong" is the only track that ends south of three minutes.

We won't have to wait as long for the soundtrack, which hits shelves October 20th.

“Weird”

Hanson | 1997

Accomplished tunesmith Desmond Child co-wrote "Weird" with the three brothers that make up Hanson. Credited for dozens of cuts, including songs by Kiss, Cher, Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, Child told Rolling Stone that "Weird" holds a special place in his heart, "because it's about being different--and I grew up poor, I grew up being Latin, I grew up being gay, and now I'm fat!" The song was included on Hanson's 1997 album Middle of Nowhere, which sold more than ten million units.
