Description:
Although Mischa Barton and original plot lines may be history on "The OC," the Fox teen drama continues to feature up-and-coming indie acts on its compilation CDs. This time the show's latest soundtrack is a covers-only disc. Most of the songs are stripped-down or tamer versions of the originals, such as Mates of State's delicate take on the show's theme song, Phantom Planet's "California," Rogue Wave's melodic rendition of Pixies' "Debaser" and John Paul White's tear-jerking cover of ELO's "Can't Get It Out of My Head," during which you can almost see Seth Cohen's eyes start to artificially well. Pinback extends Black Flag's "Wasted" to more than three minutes, starting out singsongy and shifting into a punk breakdown at the end. But the liveliest cover is Lady Sovereign's take on the Sex Pistols' "Pretty Vacant," on which the British MC gives the punk classic a modern electronic punch.
