Death Cab for Cutie has just scored a nice bit of publicity and been added to the soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Their song ‘Meet Me on the Equinox’ has been chosen to be the first single released from the upcoming CD and it will get it’s debut on MTV.com on September 19th – coinciding with MTV’s VMA’s.

“I think that a lot of our songs in general concern a lot of the things the main characters in the books are going through: There’s a lot of stuff about relationships beginning and ending, and the questioning that happens around being in love and falling out of love,” bassist Nick Harmer told MTV News in a recent interview.

In addition to Death Cab, Thom Yorke of Radiohead and Muse have been announced for the movie soundtrack which is out October 20th. The official cover art (we’ve seen this before…) is above.

I just want to say thank god I don’t have to sit through hours of another lame MTV awards show crap to hear the song. So happy it will premiere on the web.

Confirmation for the final music list is still probably a month or two away, but that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill from working overtime. Which artists are making the fall’s hottest soundtrack?

MTV.com has this to say about Lee Safar’s possible inclusion:

The Facebook pages of both Lee and “Twilight” make reference to the possible inclusion of Lee’s song, “I’m Here,” on the soundtrack. Lee describes her sound as “Evanescence meets Sarah McLachlan,”

Check out Safar’s MySpace page to hear ‘I’m Here.’

EntertainmentWeekly is listing Thom Yorke of Radiohead as a possible songwriter and maybe even super hot band Kings Of Leon.

Other artists thrown around are Madonna, The Jonas Brothers, Kelly Clarkson, and Coldplay. One of the only things certain is that Paramore is out. October 6th is the official release date for the movie music so it won’t be long before the final cuts are made. I gotta say it would be sooo sweet if Thom Yorke did something for New Moon.
