This year, Halloween in London provided for a truly haunting pairing. That's haunting in the "beautiful! goosebumps!" sense and not the poltergeist one, and it's entirely due to the much-hyped union of the London Symphony Orchestra with Grizzly Bear at the Barbican Centre.

Vampires and werewolves and lusty glares from Robert Pattinson aren't the only things fans can't wait to ravish in the upcoming Twilight saga, New Moon. Monday night in Chicago, Grizzly Bear invited Beach House singer Victoria Legrand onstage to perform "Slow Life," their contribution to the star-studded New Moon soundtrack, for a lucky crowd.

With a post to her website, Twilight author Stephenie Meyer has cleared up months of online rumors about New Moon's soundtrack.

If you think about it, yacht-rock legend Michael McDonald and the eminently mellow Grizzly Bear aren't really that far apart musically. Still, the news that the former Doobie Brother was asked by the Brooklyn critical darlings to lay down an alternate lead vocal track for their single "While You Wait for the Others" had a few folks scratching their heads.

Good news for music fans and movie buffs alike: Stephenie Meyer, the author behind vampire blockbuster series Twilight and the curator for the 2008 film's metal-tinged, chart-topping soundtrack, has a newfound love for indie rock!

Weezer can be counted on for a variety of things: Undeniably catchy choruses with gnomically nonsensical lyrics, disappointing post-2001 albums that exclude superior songs you'll eventually find on B-side collections, and somewhat amusing photos of a teenaged Rivers Cuomo sporting Aquanet metal hair.
