Doesn't this look good? No? Oh get out of my house...
The sixth in the well-selling series of compilation albums based on the television show The OC is out on December 4. In a neat twist to previous emo-filled editions, this album sees a variety of actually-very-good acts covering songs by other very-decent bands. Jeepers.
Acts featured include Lady Sovereign (pictured), Pinback, Mates Of State and Band Of Horses; songs are penned by the likes of Black Flag, The Sex Pistols, Modest Mouse and The New Year. Tracklisting below (songwriters 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)
Lady Sovereign's 'Pretty Vacant', or at least a snippet of it, can be heard at her MySpace.

i wonder if
Goldspot will better Ben Lee's version of 'Float On'? cos that was impressive.. if a little odd!
-
Heard it on KROQ
i heard Goldspot's version of "Float On" on KROQ last weekend. And it was freikin' awesome. Kudos to Goldspot. Their album is amazing, too.

I want this
But I'm scared of something bearing the OC on the front. Do I abandon principles purely to here Rogue Wave's take on Debaser...?
-
I wanna hear that version of debaser
I don't want all the silly girls at school going round singing it wrong though :(.
The OC is bad for that.

this sounds brilliant
and I love The OC. Winner.
-
Good lord
Have you HEARD Lady Sovereign's version of 'Pretty Vacant'?! It's not erm...pretty. Sorry.
The rest looks good though.

when i went home i was surprised to hear
that my brother knew who the Postal Service were (he knows little to nothing about music) - then he informed me that they were the 'new thing' that all the posh kids in dublin liked, because they were ON THE OC.
oh i felt a bit sick
-
I fucking love The OC
Best written show on TV by a country mile.
-
The OC's alright
Probably download a few of these as there are a couple that I can't be arsed with.
-
best written show...
i can only assume your fingers have gone on strike after being made to type that.
soaps are written by committee and turned over too quickly for any finesse, by sub-standard actors who've given up on a real acting career. That goes for the oc as much as any other.-
Watch it you sour crackpot
Turned over too quickly, I ask you....

Haha
Wasn't Chris Holmes the guitarist from WASP? Can't wait to hear his sensitive reworking of Mazzy Star...
-
Rogue Wave doing the Pixies!?
I just done a sex wee!
-
The O.C.
Is for those not left satisfied by the other daytime soap operas. All with a convenient primetime schedule.
-
thank god
that awful cover of Lover I Don't Have To Love isn't on there.
-
WTF Mike
A lot of the OC soundtracks have been pretty decent!
-
oc
Na don't sound that good, just sounds like the pretentious music they have playing quietly in club scenes or Ryans looking moody.
-
Oooo you tease!
Reading the first paragragh made me think they we're making a compliation of the originals...what a fool!!

Great Concept by Alex
This is a great concept by Alex Patsavas. Great bands, great songs, and helps promote lesser known indie artists, like my fav band of the moment, goldspot.
