BG: Is That Vampire Rock? Turn It Up!

While I’d venture to guess that most of our readers are a bit too old for the whole Twilight phenomenon, there is a reason to get excited about the vampire-loving series as the soundtrack for franchise’s third movie Eclipse, which hits theaters on June 30, will once again skew towards indie-rock fans. The album, which is scheduled to come out on June 8, will feature previously unreleased tracks from HT faves – Band Of Horses, Vampire Weekend, The Dead Weather, Fanfarlo, The Black Keys and Beck with Bat For Lashes.

Finally, our recent baseball preview shows that there are plenty of baseball-loving musicians out there. Now, those worlds will collide again as former Guided By Voices frontman Robert Pollard is scoring a documentary about baseball’s all-time hits leader Pete Rose.

Along with providing the score, Pollard, who grew up about 40 miles outside of Cincy as a die-hard Rose fan,  also wrote a new song for the flick called Original Heart. Give it a listen…
