At the VMAs on Sunday, Death Cab for Cutie unveiled their contribution, "Meet Me on the Equinox." The full soundtrack will be announced tomorrow, but we’ve got a few details on the album, due out Oct. 20, 2009.

Music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas told the New York Times she’s confident that the “New Moon” soundtrack would include already rumored tracks from Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, indie folker Bon Iver, and British alt-rockers Band of Skulls. Though there have been rumors of songs by the Killers and Grizzly Bear, Patsavas wouldn’t confirm it.

She also said that “New Moon” will blend music and filmmaking a little better than “Twilight.” “This is a much more somber movie than ‘Twilight,’” she said. “There is a lot of love lost, so the artists that are going to make up the soundtrack reflect that longing — a lot of acoustic instruments, a lot of a cappella singing."

MTV News also confirmed on Sunday that Muse were finalists for the "New Moon" soundtrack. Their tune “Supermassive Black Hole” was on the “Twilight” album, so this would be their second association with the franchise.

Any thoughts on this news? Happy, sad, indifferent? I was really hoping for either “Breathe” by Taylor Swift and/or Hannah Pestle’s “Need.”

The 3D high-tech/digital adventure follows Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges, reprising his role from the first movie). While investigating the disappearance of his father, Sam finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiator-type games where his father’s been living for 25 years.

The movie also features Bruce Boxleitner, Olivia Wilde, Beau Garrett, and John Hurt. The electronic music duo Daft Punk is working on the score.

All I can say is: Oh.My! I just listened to the song (about 5 times) on Hana’s MySpace site, and it is SO beautiful. It would be absolutely perfect for "New Moon" – especially the heartbreaking scene where Edward leaves Bella in the woods (check out the first "New Moon" trailer here).

Hana Pestle wrote "Need", one of her first compositions, in 2004 at the age of 15. It was produced/co-written (the bridge) for her album by Ben Moody and Michael "Fish" Herring and recorded in Los Angeles last year. The string arrangements are by David Campbell, piano performance by David Hodges, engineered and mixed by Dan Certa, and mastered at Sterling Sound in NYC.

Hana started performing live in Montana at the age of 14 with just her acoustic guitar. In 2006, at age 16, one of her performance DVDs reached Evanescence creator and writer Ben Moody, who helped to craft her first solo CD. She spent the last seven months of 2008 touring the U.S. with bands Live, Collective Soul, Blues Traveler, Joshua Radin, Graham Colton, Jon McLaughlin, Ingram Hill, Corey Smith. Look for her new CD to be released July 7, 2009.

So what do you think? Should Hana Pestle’s "Need" be in "New Moon"? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!

Yikes, say it ain’t so. The Jonas Brothers say they’d love to do music for "New Moon," the much-anticipated sequel to "Twilight." 

Of course, that doesn’t mean they WILL do music, just that they’d like to. When asked by MTV about the possibility, the brothers said, "That would be really cool."

"[Twilight] was obviously a huge success," said Nick. "If they asked us to be a part of [New Moon], then that would be great."

Ok, is there anyone who DOESN’T want to be part of "New Moon"? I swear, everyone and their mother is looking to score some connection with the vampire flick.
