Here's something pretty special, if we do say so ourselves. It's Death Cab For Cutie's live performance of their New Moon soundtrack single, "Meet Me On The Equinox" from the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards!

Introduced by David Cross -- one of the many bearded bros at the Woodie Awards -- Death Cab plows through the song as if it'd been a staple of their live sets for years. I wonder if guitarist Chris Walla was thinking about his favorite Twilight character (Bella's dad!) while he was jamming away there.

Watch the 2009 mtvU Woodies Friday, December 4, at 10 p.m. ET on mtvU, MTV, MTV2, and Palladia.

The bearded men of Death Cab For Cutie were lucky enough to have the first single from the New Moon soundtrack with "Meet Me On The Equinox." And aside from making them extremely popular with the Twi-hard crowd, it's automatically immersed them in Twilight lore and philosophy.

In this video interview, taken during Death Cab's mtvU Woodie Award rehearsals (that's The Dead Weather rehearsing in the background), guitarist Chris Walla and bassist Nick Harmer sound off on a few Twilight issues.

Chris declares his preference for Bella's unassuming dad out of all the Twilight characters, while Nick drops some knowledge on Twilight's larger appeal, relating it to the current political climate and consumerism.

Nick Harmer then opens a HUGE can of worms by openly speculating on the chances of a Twilight musical. (As opposed to Twilight the Musical, the YouTube parody.) Wonder if Death Cab would be up for scoring that?

Remember when Tom Cruise was a total bad-ass and wore awesome glasses and was in the air force and was a cool bartender who knew how to flip bottles like a bawse and was a total lady killer? Yeah, me either.

Looks like Tommy Boy's trying to stay relevant with the vampire set in his just-leaked New Moon audition tape. And it's pretty painful.

Watch "Tom Cruise" take his Twilight audition to the danger zone. The result: That's a negative, Ghost Rider.

Whooooopsiedoodles! It looks like ol' Ashley Greene forgot her bra on the cover of the December issue of Maxim. And then, lo and behold, she forgot it AGAIN on the inside pages of Maxim too! It's kind of like one of those broccoli-in-your-teeth situations when you're like GRR! Why didn't someone TELL me? Also, Ashley Greene's Maxim coverlines say "sucking" and "slurping," which COULD potentially be puhrreeettty embarrassing because... you know... but it turns out they're talking about vampires and ramen noodles -- two great tastes that go great together.

After the jump, check out more bra-free photos of Ashley Greene from her Maxim, um, spread, as well as an old-school Ashley Greene Maxim photo that suggests a run-in with an airbrush gun. Gurl be UP on that bronzer! Gotta stay pale, Alice!

The men of New Found Glory are not taking this whole Twilight/New Moon/Vampire Diaries revolution lying down.

No, the South Floridian pop-punk mainstays are countering star-crossed love with some good ol' fashion blood and guts and zombies and demons in the vein of old-school horror master Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Drag Me To Hell...and some movies about a man who's also a spider) and George Romero (Night/Dawn Of The Dead).

"Don't Let Her Pull You Down" is from New Found Glory's Not Without A Fight album, which was released earlier this year. You say Twilight, NFG says backlash.

I love Twilight. You love Twilight. The votes have been counted: EVERYBODY LOVES TWILIGHT. But for serious, where do we draw the line?

Dressing up like characters? Sure, have at it. Rocking Team Edward or Team Jacob shirts? Why not? But, at a certain point, cooler heads have to prevail. Have we come to that point? Take a look at the latest piece of Twilight memorabilia and you tell me.

Behold: Robert Pattinson panties. For the woman who has everything... except for Robert Pattinson's icy, undead stare embroidered onto the front of her underwear.

Halloween is DAYS away! Time to GET ON YOUR COSTUME GRIND if you haven't yet. Too lazy to make your own Lady Gaga costume? Is Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment album cover proving too difficult to reproduce on a small budget? Well I don't know if you've noticed, but vampires are huge! They're the new Internet! New Moon is almost here (even though you've seen almost every clip of the movie)! Everybody's losing their collective brains over The Vampire Diaries! So a vampire-inspired Halloween is the W2G.

Wildfox's "My boyfriend is a vampire" t-shirt ($64, Singer22.com) already comes with some blood marks, in case you're too squeamish to get the job done for real. It also says "I'm Savin' It For Edward Cullen," but in a more discreet way. Just press on some "Vampire Red" nails by Kiss ($3.99, kissusa.com, drugstores), and get to that candy binge. Or just watch this Backstreet Boys vampire video. Happy Halloween!

More MTV "Halloween Horrors" for you. As the hallowed eve approaches, we've been checking with bands like Flyleaf and AFI about their trick or treat memories. Here, Florida band We The Kings set adrift on memory bliss and recall some rough (pumpkin) patches and their issues with Twilight and hot shewolves.

Travis Clark talks about the emotional scars left when a bunch of older kids yoinked his candy. While guitarist Hunter Thomsen bemoans getting saddled with black licorice. I gotta co-sign that; what an abomination of a candy. Disagree? I challenge thee to convince me otherwise in the comments.

New Moon swoon! Check out the lust-inducing cover of People magazine's New Moon collector's issue, and below, check out an exclusive photo of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in Eclipse.
