"Oh gosh, that's like asking a mother to pick her favorite child," Patsavas tells Spinner. After a long pause, she admits, "I'm especially proud that Thom Yorke agreed to be on the soundtrack." For his part, the Radiohead frontman submitted the unreleased, exclusive solo [...]
Enjoy their sensational performance of 'Meet Me On The Equinox' below. MP3: Death Cab For Cutie - A Movie Script Ending
Wednesday night was my third MTVU Woodie Awards show at Roseland Ballroom and one of the most fun! We had a perfect spot near the artist lounge, enjoying a DJ set by Diplo and catching performances by Death Cab for Cutie , Passion Pit , Matt & Kim , The Dead Weather and more. There was an interesting array of presenters including a ranting Zooey Deschanel, legendary Cyndi Lauper and Leighton Meester, Mary Louise Parker, 3OH!3 dressed like Lady Gaga, will.i.am in a snuggie, a drunk? Pete Wentz, and Janelle Monae [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Movies When the soundtrack to the first ' Twilight ' film was released a little more than a year ago, it featured an original track by the film's very own resident heartthrob Robert Pattinson , who -- for those of you who live in a dark cave and never come out -- plays lead vampire Edward Cullen. Who knew Pattinson, that guy the tabloids say is dating co-star Kristen Stewart , played guitar, sang and wrote his own music? Two Pattinson tracks were [...]
Last night, MTV's quirky little sister, mtvU, held its annual Woodie awards ceremony at New York's Roseland Ballroom. As is the custom on this occasion, big stars mixed with indie sensations, in an event MTV itself has deemed "madcap." To wit: While Diplo spun and Matt and Kim played "Lessons Learned" - "[f]lanked by eight backup singers who gradually stripped down to their underwear (in a nod to the Video Music Award-winning video for the same song)" - host Pete Wentz , of the recently shelved Fall Out Boy , clung to [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Movies Death Cab for Cutie 's 'Meet Me at the Equinox' may be the first single of the ' New Moon ' soundtrack , but frontman Ben Gibbard will be skipping the film's opening weekend. "I have plans already this weekend," Gibbard tells Spinner. "I'm sure there's enough people seeing it this weekend that they're not going to need my 10 bucks. I feel pretty confident about that."
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Television On Wednesday, mtvU held their annual Woodie Awards at New York's Roseland Ballroom and celebrated college radio with kegs, bare legs and plenty of current and former winners. Matt and Kim entered the venue on bikes and performed 'Lessons Learned' with a crowd of hipsters stripping down to their underwear as a tribute to the song's nudity-filled video. Both members of the band stepped off the stage and into the audience -- fully dressed, mind you [...]

Filed under: News , New Music It looks like the ' New Moon ' soundtrack isn't the only compilation getting a little help from Death Cab for Cutie 's Ben Gibbard this fall. Gibbard has reportedly signed on to contribute a version of Neil Young 's 'Harvest Moon,' a song he covered played live from time to time, to the 'GIVE Seattle' charity album. The project features Seattle-based artists and benefits the Arts Corp and numerous food banks. [...]

Filed under: UK , Band of the Week Vampire Weekend must be wondering what's happened. They take a not-exactly-marathon gap to come up with their second album, and a host of bands appear, apparently determined to take their Afro-pop-inspired place. A few weeks ago, we profiled the really rather infectious Little Comets, whose single 'Adultery' is arguably one of the tunes of the year, and now there's Two Door Cinema Club arriving in sight, off-kilter jangle in tow. Hailing from Bangor in Northern Ireland, the [...]
I'm not a Death Cab For Cutie fan. They're certainly talented, but not my cup of tea. However, I found it interesting to discover their name came from a song by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. A group who gained popularity performing in the British children's television show Do Not Adjust Your Set (which also featured future members of Monty Python). Paul McCartney was a fan and in 1967 asked the band to perform "Death Cab For Cutie" in the Magical Mystery Tour film. Big Star's Alex Chilton later recoreded a cover of the [...]
Death Cab For Cutie "Meet Me On The Equinox" (Live at KROQ)
The second installment of A Retrospective, in which I recap my favorite albums released from 2000 to 2008, this time: 2001. Wrought with turmoil and watching a life fall apart as so many others were having similar experiences but in a different manner; that was 2001 for you. The year I turned 21 (hence the wine bottle photo above). A year that lives in infamy. Young or old, we all seemed to grow up that year. Music, too seemed to progress in ways unthought, even before that fateful day. [...]
