Lexicon reader Courtney wrote in to tell us the following:

“Just thought you might want to know that Paramore is having an online yard sale to raise money for Japan. And one of the things they are selling is actually what they are calling the “other” decode beanie. As you know Hayley wears a purple beanie in that music video but originally she had also bought a grey one to see if that would work but they ended up going with purple. Just thought you might want to post about it since its kinda Twilight related and it is to help support Japan. Hope you are all doing awesome!”

Check out the Beanie here.

The 3:18 mark is where you want to look.

Haley Williams, Paramore’s lead singer remarked on her twitter, “Did someone just sing “Decode” on American Idol? AHHH!!! Tell me it’s true….Dear Colton, I would’ve voted for you 😉 Thanks for playing our song! See ya around Nashville!

Paramore had an interview with their local newspaper The Tennessean, and supported their decision to take part in the Twilight soundtrack.

” ‘Decode’ is one of our favorite songs that we’ve written as a band. It’s so simple, but the feeling isn’t really matched by anything else we have,” the singer said. “Not that it’s better than the rest of our songs, just different. We loved being able to be a part of a movie soundtrack at all . . . the fact that it happened to explode and become one of the biggest movies of our generation was like, ‘Wait a minute, what!?’

“I think a lot of people expect us to be a bit embarrassed, or something. But we’re extremely proud of it. I think that we got lucky that we were able to gain so many fans by contributing to the soundtrack, but we still aren’t defined by Twilight and ‘Decode.’ ”
