Muse, the musical geniuses behind three consecutive Twilight Soundtrack songs, stopped in to talk with Stryker on Los Angeles based radio station 106.7 KROQ. Though the interview focused more on the bands recent tour and their roots, Stryker did his part and made sure to throw in a bit about Twilight. Below is an excerpt from the video where the band discusses Twilight and the fandom around the world.

Hayley Williams of Paramore: Team Edward or Team Jacob

Mike — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 05:00:15 +0000

I read through the July issue of SPIN magazine yesterday, which featured a cover story on the band Paramore. In it they cover the day to day of the band Paramore and the background of the band, etc. Of course that couldn’t go without a Twilight question. After all the band’s hit single ‘Decode’ from the Twilight soundtrack has had over a million downloads since it’s release.

In the article Hayley is asked; “Team Edward or Team Jacob?” and her response might surprise you.

“Oh God. I don’t really like either. I wish she’d date the guy at the school lunch table. The other two seem a little high-maintenance.”

So what have we learned? Hayley Williams is Team Mike Newton. Perhaps it’s a good thing she wasn’t on any of the following soundtracks. (Totally kidding)

New Remix of Blue Foundation’s Twilight Soundtrack Contribution

It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since the Twilight Soundtrack graced our CD and MP3 players with 12 tracks that helped bring the small Northwest town of Forks and the Twilight world to life, but a year later and one more Twilight film in the hole tracks from the original Twilight Soundtrack are still being sought after and reimagined.

The band Blue Foundation announced on Myspace this morning that their contribution to the Twilight Soundtrack, Eyes On Fire, had undergone a remix that was being made available for free download. The dubstep remix was put together by Toronto production duo Zed’s Dead and was named one of the top 10 tracks of 2009 by Plugged not Thugged and Salacioussound.com.

Unfortunately the download location that Blue Foundation provided linked to a zip file that was password protected, however I found an alternate download source that includes both a straight MP3 file and the zip.
