Disturbing news everybody. Warner is about to release the sixth edition of The OC soundtrack. This is disturbing because I wasn't aware there'd been a fifth edition, and that means my OC soundtrack collection is shamefully incomplete. Which is a shame, because my interest in OC soundtracks seems to have lasted somewhat longer than my interest in the TV show (though none of the subsequent editions has been quite as perfect as the first). Anyway, this sixth edition, out 4 Dec, sees unknown bands covering songs by slightly less unknown bands, as follows (each song's original artist in brackets).
Goldspot - Float On (Modest Mouse)
Rock Kills Kid - Turn My Camera On (Spoon)
Lady Sovereign - Pretty Vacant (The Sex Pistols)
Mates of State - California (Phantom Planet)
Pinback - Wasted (Black Flag)
John Paul White - Can't Get It Out Of My Head (ELO)
Rogue Wave - Debaser (The Pixies)
Syd Matters - Hello Sunshine (Super Furry Animals)
Tally Hall - Smile Like You Mean It (The Killers)
The M's - Come Into My Room (Clinic)
Band of Horses - End's Not Near (The New Year)
Chris Holmes - Into Dust (Mazzy Star)
