We've heard Paramore's new theme song "Decode," had a peek into author Stephenie Meyer's musical world, and even studied the tracklist for the teen vampire series' eyebrow-raising soundtrack. But where's the drama? The action? The romance? Look no further, dear Twilight fans -- the official trailer has finally arrived and it's jam packed with all the gushy stuff!

Sink your, ahem, teeth into the video below. And sound off in the comment section below. Bubbling with excitement? So is Paramore's Hayley Williams. Aren't you, Haley?

Twilight Movie Trailer:

Beck rarely puts on a conventional live show. In fact, the eclectic artist has incorporated puppets, pinstriped suits with lights, and a fully stocked dinner table into his previous tours.

Thursday, the SoCal slacker pulled out all the stops for his appearance at Harlem's stylish United Palace Theater, bringing a film crew, a massive lights display, and a buzz-worthy opening band for night two of his three-gig New York engagement.

Longhaired Brooklynites MGMT kicked off the evening with renditions of "Electric Feel," "Time to Pretend," and "Weekend Wars" off their celebrated set Oracular Spectacular.

Then Beck took the stage and slid into the unmistakable guitar licks of "Loser," which led to a raucous sing-along in the spacious theater.

The rest of the set was a tour through his funkiest hits off 1996's Odelay ("Devil's Haircut"), 1999's Midnite Vultures ("Nicotine & Gravy"), and 2005's Guero ("Black Tambourine"). More recent tunes like The Information's "Nausea" and Modern Guilt's "Orphans" also made their way into the set list.

While the genre-bending musician looked ageless in a wide-brimmed hat and dark jacket covering an oversized checkered flannel, his moving performance of somber acoustic ditty "Lost Cause" revealed the troubadour's old soul. Beck remained mum, wasting no time between songs, and finally closed the evening with a beats-heavy version of "E-Pro." The dazzled audience clapped along and followed the star's lead, chanting in unison, "Na na na na na na na," while dancing to the fuzzed-out guitar riffs echoing to the rafters.

Legendary Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant may have recently refuted rumors that he's reuniting with the band for a world tour -- but according to, er, Twisted Sister screamer Dee Snider, that doesn't mean that the Zep's efforts are kaput.

Apparently, remaining members Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and Jason Bonham -- son of deceased original drummer John Bonham -- are threatening to recruit Myles Kennedy, lead singer of God-rock Creed offshoot, Alter Bridge, as a bargaining chip to convince Plant to change his mind.

Said former cross-dresser and one-time fictional Internet predator Snyder to MuchMoreMusic: "They're saying [to Robert], 'We're all rehearsed, we're ready to go, here's a gazillion dollars on the table. If you don't do it, we're going out with this kid. And he can sing the shit out of Zeppelin.' And they're gonna, like, hope that Robert, at the last minute, will go, 'OK', and step in…" [via Idolator]

We're not entirely sure how Dee Snider is privileged to such groundbreaking news, which makes us a little suspicious. (We weren't able to reach Zep's management by press time.) But still, a Led Zeppelin reunion without Robert Plant? Do fans really to want to listen to this guy sing "Black Dog"? We think we know what Led Zep fans' reaction is going to be to this rumor.

This past weekend, San Francisco's Golden Gate Park welcomed the eighth annual Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, with its truly eclectic bill, including Gogol Bordello, Emmylou Harris, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Elvis Costello, Iron & Wine, and Bonnie "Prince" Billy, among others. Another performer: country-lovin' indie-rocker Ben Kweller.

Kweller played, but he also watched scores of live sets. Here, the ragamuffin Texan offers his best of the fest and chats about the importance of the bluegrass and country to the indie-rock scene.

The Gourds:

"I just love their live show because it's really upbeat, exuberant, and energetic. They're well known for their cover of 'Gin and Juice' by Snoop Dogg. It's a fun and kind of fast country version. And they actually played it! I thought they stopped playing the song because they were bummed about that being the song they were known for. But I was actually happy to hear it. I'm a big fan of their early stuff, their first record. It's just good old shit-kicking country music."

Emmylou Harris / Elvis Costello:




"I'm glad I got to see Emmylou Harris, and I actually hung out with her backstage. She's been around for so long and done so many great and different things in her career, ya know? Elvis Costello's show was really good, too. He brought up Emmylou and Jim Lauderdale, who's a well known songwriter out in Nashville. Jim's really cool -- we actually talked about getting together in Nashville and writing some songs. Elvis was great; he did a lot of covers, including 'Love Hurts' with Emmylou. Man, it was good. He also played Van Morrison's 'Wild Night.' I thought that was interesting."

Iron & Wine:




"I think they fit into the 'hardly' part of the festival, just like myself. It's a lot more traditional, old-school country and western style, and I think Sam's [Beam] songs work in there, too."

Gogol Bordello:




"Their show was the most extreme and not really in the bluegrass realm. It was incredible -- off the charts and energetic. In fact, everyone was saying it was the first ever moshpit at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass!"

Dry Branch Fire Squad:




"Four old guys from Kentucky, singing around one mic with upright bass, mandolin, guitar, and banjo. It was really cool to hear stuff like that. They're what I really came to the festival wanting to hear -- some real down home bluegrass. And they totally delivered. Their playing was so impressive and the songs were great. It was so relaxing to kick back and get right up to those speakers."

"The whole festival was really cool. Check it out because you're going to hear a lot of music that you've never heard before that will just blow you away. That's how it was for me. I hadn't heard of so many of the things, and once I listened to the music I was immediately into it. Most of the people that listen to Ben Kweller are really musically open-minded, so I think that it's definitely something that they would dig."

One of roots music’s slyest, smartest songwriters, Nashville-based Todd Snider isn’t up to the usual protest-song ploys on this eight-song mini album (which nonetheless protests plenty): “I did not do this to change your mind about anything,” he explains in a spoken interlude. “I did this to ease my own mind about everything.” Peace Queer includes an acoustic antiwar rant and a ghostly reading of Creedence’s “Fortunate Son” (with Patty Griffin on backup vocals). But the high point is a ragged bar-band jam about the dissolution of the middle-class dream (“Stuck on the Corner [Prelude to a Heart Attack]”).
