Death Cab for Cutie “Love” New Moon, Approve of Beefcakes

in New Moon Soundtrack

200911302149.jpg Death Cab for Cutie made an appearance at the indie-music minded Woodie Awards, playing their single “Meet Me at the Equinox” from the New Moon soundtrack. They approved of the amount of beefcakes in the film, too.

Guitarist Chris Walla even coined a term—HBQ, or High Beefcake Quotient, to describe it—

“I love it. I was at the premiere two nights ago and it was great. The movie is awesome.” Walla even approves of the film’s campier aspects. “There are a lot of shirtless dudes,” he admits. “When the shirtless-dude factor happens, it seems a little wink-wink, nudge-nudge. But it’s a high beefcake quotient — an HBQ.”

LONG LIVE THE HBQ!!!

The Woodie Awards air Friday December 4th at 10pm EST on MTV.

    I love Death Cab! I'm really old.. 29.. haha ... I use to watch Death Cab at small venues when I was in high school, it's good to see them so popular, they have always been awesome! Good times!

    Aww I love Death Cab. Transatlanticism is an awesome CD; if you guys haven't heard it before you should definitly give it a listen!

    Have we figured out where Meet Me At The Equinox plays in the movie? We were discussing it in another thread but no one ever replied. Do they play it at all, or is it just on the soundtrack? They made such a big thing about it, I thought it would have a significant part in the movie...

    *wink wink, nudge nudge*
    Ahhh thats MY saying lol!!

    *car breaks*
    Waittttttttt.. arent these the dudes that said at the LA Premiere that the fans should be put into a CAGE!?!?

    Hmm.. I think they are.. right.. off I go!
  • ICB *Sethward Saves the Day*
    i listen to "i will follow u into the dark" whenever i think of twilight... it fits perfectly...
  • lina_cullen (i♥edward)
    Omg ICB that song is sooo depressingly romantic. It's so sad! But it's loving too! Am I making sense lol. I'm trying to say that it's so sad because it's about what happens to lover after death, but at the same time he's saying I'll go wherever you go. It's so hauntingly beautiful!

    Every line makes me cry! And I'm not even PMS-ing!!

    "Love of mine, someday you will die, but I'll be close behind. I'll follow you into the dark..."

    *starts crying uncontrollably*
  • ICB *Sethward Saves the Day*
    *gives lina tissues*
    its ok...i cry like a baby when i hear that song...u so dont have to explain ur feelings...i get it Completely...
  • lina_cullen (i♥edward)
    *blows nose in tissue*
    You didn't want this back did you? lol

    *sigh* I wonder what the Eclipse soundtrack is going to be like. I hope it's not too much of an "action movie" soundtrack. I want fun & romantic songs dammit! lol
  • ICB *Sethward Saves the Day*
    i kno...DS better not overdo it...i mean eclipse is a lot of ppl's fave book...no mistakes DS...i will maintain confidence in u until july 1, 2010...and if u break MY heart? Im gonna let Aro snap ur neck...there will be no saving u...
  • lina_cullen (i♥edward)
    hahaha!!!!

    I can imagine DS putting some screamo music for the fight scene!

    You know, the music that's basically just a guy screaming into the microphone while the guys on guitar & drums do their own thing.

    It sounds like this...."raaaaaaaaaaawwwwrrraaaaaaaa"
  • ICB *Sethward Saves the Day*
    *spits out unicorn cupcake*...so basically the whole song sounds like the opening note on csi miami...hahahahahha...he would...fml...
  • lina_cullen (i♥edward)
    hhahaha basically lol

    Ugh..I hate having to wait!!
  • ICB *Sethward Saves the Day*
    i feel like the saga has made me realize how impatient i can actually be...lol
  • lina_cullen (i♥edward)
    And violent! Because if MR messes this up, someone is going to get hurt lol
  • ICB *Sethward Saves the Day*
    *in best jake voice"
    u dont wanna get me angry...its about to get really ugly in here
    i mean there are so many perfect lines in eclipse...dont add a freakin thing rosenberg...the story is solid...
  • lina_cullen (i♥edward)
    Haha I bust up at that part everytime!

    My point exactly. MR problem is she either takes too much away!
  • ICB *Sethward Saves the Day*
    or she rewrites what she wants...i dont hate the woman...it just irks me when the lines she replaces arent as good as the ones in the book...
  • lina_cullen (i♥edward)
    haha I don't hate her. I'm sure she's a pretty cool person, but as a screenwriter...I'm not too crazy about her lol
  • ICB *Sethward Saves the Day*
    she does have a certain air of "i annoy ppl" about her doesnt she...lol
  • lina_cullen (i♥edward)
    Definitely

    *makes an annoyed face*
  • TayRobLovin
    I continually play the Meet Me on the Equinox video because I'm OBSESSED :)
    I also play Hearing Damage and try to recreate the Victoria/cliff dive scene in my head.
    ...Heh, I don't have too much free time on my hands at all...
  • The only songs I have listened to in the past month, are the songs from the soundtrack...yeah, I'm that pathetic. lol
  • me too. hearing damage has been on repeat for the past weeks and i blast every morning while getting ready for school
  • I love that one too! Go Victoria!!

    And I love Roslyn...so beautiful! :)
  • OOoo Hearing Damage and the Muse song I play over and over again at work (with my ear phones on)..It puts me in a happy mood so I work better.
  • Nicnixs :) Squirrelshavelaws
    We'll need a table for 2 for party Pathetic LOL

    I am right there with you :) It covers ALL my needs right now :)
  • Nixs! **hugs** (Sorry I missed you on Twitter). :)

    Some of the songs were..okay before. But now, since we have seen how the songs are in the movie, I love all the songs now even more! Hearing Damage is one of my favs now, and so is Monster. THE strut! ;)
  • everybody loved NM
  • "it seems a little wink-wink, nudge-nudge."

    Uh..there was all out screaming for joy in my theater.

    We all but ran to the giant movie screen to get a better look.
  • Dude, I was sitting on this page for 5 minutes before the tweet hit my phone. I didn't even noticed I would be first! LOL

  • FTW - Mrs. Tyler Hawkins
    Lol. HBQ, I like it. I still haven't purchased the score though :( My NM piggy bank is running empty
  • blackbeauty
    I have to admit their song has grown on me. Actually a lot of the songs are better now that I've seen them implemented in the movie. I haven't bought the album yet but I think I just may :)
  • HugAVampire_PunchAWerewolf
    toppers?
  • Nicnixs :) Squirrelshavelaws
    I can't remember any other CD i've played except the soundtrack for the last 2 weeks :)

    I need to get a grip *facepalm*

    Love Death Cab on this....i need to listen to more of their stuff :)

    OH!!! I meant to say....they are just sucking up to the Twi-fans by giving the thumbs up to our shirtless wonders :) BUT that's how we like it....suck up to us & be shirtless if possible :)

    LMAO
  • They're smart. Twi-fans dish out $$ and are VERY devoted.
  • pinktwilightlover

  • Nicnixs :) Squirrelshavelaws
    Exactly :)

    Twilight has the midas touch LOL

    The Midas touch..LOL...I like that
  • twilightx3
