It's been a banner year for the Killers.

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

We've come to expect gorgeous, cinema-quality videos from the Killers, and their new clip for Day & Age track "Goodnight, Travel Well" is no exception -- except for the fact that it's not only an artistic expression, but a socially conscious one, as well.

The Killers want you to know that they're as American as roadside diners, apple pie, greasers, '57 Chevys, bobby-pinned Brendas in party dresses, and good ol' fashion knife fights -- which is why the Vegas foursome packaged 'em all together in their grand new music video for Day and Age gem "A Dustland Fairytale." Watch below.

The Killers are serious about their bid to become America's next rock gods. And Monday night the Las Vegas band made some serious headway with an awe-inspiring performance on The Late Show with David Letterman, backed by a 20-piece orchestra -- including a freakin' harp.

It's official: Depeche Mode, Jane’s Addition, Tool, the Killers, Beastie Boys, and Kings of Leon will headline 2009's Lollapalooza festival, scheduled to hit Chicago's Grant Park August 7-9.
