Happy Eclipse day, you Twi-hards! In celebration of all your mass gatherings at every other movie theater for the worldwide release of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse today, we are happy to bring you a new music video for one of the songs off of the soundtrack. We can say with confidence that the soundtrack will definitely trump the film itself, however…. it’s not about us today. It’s about you girls (and boys) who identify with Bella Swan’s teen angst and emotional roller coaster of love between a werewolf and a vampire. It’s about all you people who are putting money into the pockets of musicians like Metric!

If you like the Metric, Cee-Lo or Eastern Conference Champions, you’re in luck tonight. If you’re also a Twlight fan, you’re really lucky tonight. In support of the upcoming third installment of the Twilight saga, Eclipse, there will be a webcast streaming performances from the previously mentioned artists. You have to admit that Twilight continues to shed its ridiculous teen-crazy reputation bit by bit (very small bits) by putting out some decent soundtracks. We know we enjoy the soundtracks much more than we could enjoy the movies now that the music has veered toward the indie music scene.

Continuing the trend of marrying really, really sophomoric films based on abysmally-written and clumsily conceived novels with hey-this-is-actually-pretty-good indie soundtracks that began on The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the soundtrack to The Twilight Saga: Eclipse rounds up several good tracks by the likes of Beck, Bat for Lashes, The Black Keys and The Dead Weather (oh, and another “Look at us, we’re like Queen now!” song by Muse).   And now, you can stream the album in its entirety before inevitably purchasing the whole thing on June 8^th.

We posted the audio for Muse’s song and lead single off of the Eclipse soundtrack a few days ago but we now have the official video that just… well makes us question the Muse/Twilight team-up even more.

Remember how we kept mentioning the term, “melodramatic?” Although the new song is a perfect match for the teen saga, we’re not sure what to say about the track now that the drama has been turned all the way up with clips from the film and Bellamy and his gang just milking this gig as much as they can.

Last week, we went through the painful process of finding out the track list to the latest Twilight soundtrack as the official MySpace Music page revealed it song by song… every half hour… (See how much we love our readers?) However! It turned out the Eclipse soundtrack continued its streak with indie tunes from artist such as Fanfarlo, Florence + The Machine, Bat For Lashes and many more. (You can see the entire track list here.)

Also, a Twilight soundtrack wouldn’t be complete without a Muse track since the band was an inspiration for the series and, of course, is Stephanie Meyer’s’ favorite band. As you can see from our headline, the title of the track is a bit melodramatic but what else is new? Muse is incredibly melodramatic and you Twi-hards are, too. (We say just that because the books are!)

Late last night we shared the news with you in regards to the upcoming soundtrack for Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight series. Although a couple of movie stars may be holding production back by demanding a pay raise, Alexandra Patsavas and her people at Chop Shop Records and Atlantic Records are ready to share the music with you. Exciting, right? Even if you’re not a Twilight fan, you have to admit the last soundtrack was pretty rad with their choice to go for a “softer” indie touch.

The con to this soundtrack track list? We’re going to have to wait all day to have the final list of songs and artists much like we had to wait all day for the Bonnaroo lineup…  The track list will reveal itself here but we’ve got the first batch of artists who are on the Eclipse soundtrack below! We’ll be updating it here on the site until we have them all! Check it out so far after the jump!

Robert Pattinson, the teen vampire heartthrob, seems to have his mind set on other things besides acting. In fact, he still striving to make art as a musician these days.

As a young Hollywood star who has to keep his head in the game, Pattinson probably understands that he can’t live off of his Cedric Diggory image or pasty yet handsome figure via Edward Cullen for too long. Before he was acting he was modeling, but after becoming every teen girl’s fantasy on the silver screen, he’s ready to focus on a music career.
