Desperate Housewives - Music from and Inspired By

This holiday season, give Desperate Housewives fans the gift of music from their favorite television series. The songs on this CD provide the perfect background music for juggling lattes, cell phones, kids, husbands, and lovers--all the while maintaining impeccable style and grace. Hop behind the wheel of the family station wagon, slide the Desperate Housewives soundtrack into the stereo, and sing along with every great selection.

From hot new hits like Joss Stone's sexy "Treat Me Right" and Macy Gray's sassy "Boom Boom" to classic covers such as Liz Phair's more-sarcastic-than-Mick's version of "Mother's Little Helper" and Martina McBride's twangy take on "The Harper Valley PTA," each of the 14 songs on this disc is a hit in its own right. Snippets of Desperate Housewives dialog pop up between every few tracks, helping to keep the Wisteria Lane atmosphere alive.

Family Guy - Live In Vegas

You love laughing, you love families, and you love guys! Therefore, YOU MUST LOVE THE FAMILY GUY! But watch out, because this family spouts adult language!

The wacky Seth McFarlane made this special CD that is not a soundtrack, but a Vegas lounge act sung by characters of the show. Nothing could be funnier! The yuks come fast and furious with "TV Theme Medley," sung by Brian and Stewie. The guffaws don't let up, with the hilarious songs "All Cartoons Are F***** D****," "Puberty's Gonna Get Me," and "Dear Booze."

Just when you think it couldn't be funnier, there are guest appearances by Haylie Duff, Patti LuPone, Adam West, and Jason Alexander.

This Christmas, force a grin on a loved one's face!

Music from The O.C. - Mix 5

At times it might seem like Fox's dramatic hit The O.C. is merely a platform for burgeoning artists to make a name for themselves. The drama surrounding Seth, Summer, Ryan, and Marissa are mere backdrops for music lovers to discover their next favorite band! Okay, that might be taking it a bit far, but check out this soundtrack and you'll know what we mean. Tracks are from indie artists like Rogue Wave, Kasabian, Shout Out Louds, LCD Soundsystem, Of Montreal, and Kaiser Chiefs. Gorillaz lend their talent in the track, "Kids with Guns." Chances are, if you haven't heard of some of these artists, you soon will.

Charmed - The Book of Shadows

Feel the "power of three" course through you as you listen to the 11 tracks--all by female artists--on this second volume of music "from and inspired by" your favorite WB series. Witchy women everywhere will rejoice to find this fabulous compilation tucked under their trees this Yuletide, so order a copy for each Charmed one in your life.

Though the songs hail from different corners of the contemporary pop/rock world, each succeeds at capturing the mysterious yet playful atmosphere of Charmed. From the attention-grabbing first notes of The Donnas' energizing "Take It Off" to the introspective subtlety of Zero 7's "Home," this soundtrack will captivate your imagination just as the story of the Halliwell sisters does.

One Tree Hill - Music from The WB Television Series

The Hill might have only one tree, but it's got a boatload of great songs! Now, they can be yours to listen to over and over as you walk to school or hang out at the mall.

You'll be able to picture all the drama and romance of this gripping teen hit inside your head as you listen to this funky, emotional soundtrack. With great tracks like "Kill" by Jimmy Eat World and "Mix-tape" by Butch Walker, this CD will have you humming throughout the year.

You only need One CD this holiday.

Grey's Anatomy - Original Soundtrack

The soundtrack to the lives of Dr. Meredith Grey, Dr. Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd and the rest of the quirky, sleep-deprived staff of Seattle Grace Hospital is as eclectic as you might imagine. The release has its fair share of indie rock from breakout artist The Postal Service and long-time favorites such as Mike Doughty (formerly of Post-Modern-Pop outfit Soul Coughing), Ben Lee, and Rilo Kiley. Funky jazz trio Medeski Martin & Wood also join the mix with their track "End of the World Party." The Psapp track "Cosy in the Rocket" folds in a trip-hop feel to round out the disc. A great gift for that musicphile on your list or for the fan that wants to take Grey's Anatomy to go.

Veronica Mars - Original Television Soundtrack

Veronica Mars' soundtrack is just as unique and exceptional as the show's brave young heroine. Eschewing predictable choices by big-name acts for selections from a variety of talented indie artists, this collection is perfect for the independent young woman or man on your "nice" list.

The songs played on Veronica Mars fit both atmospherically and lyrically into the story of the teenage investigator and her quest to solve the mysteries of her not-so-perfect town. The Dandy Warhol's "We Used to Be Friends"--recognizable as the show's theme song--echoes the alienation Veronica feels as an exiled member of the in-crowd, and Cotton Mather's "Lily Dreams On" was an eerily perfect choice for the scene in which Veronica's murdered best friend, Lilly, visited her in a dream.

Still other tunes, such as Something Happens' "Momentary Thing" and The Faders' "No Sleep Tonight" will have you imagining what scenes from Veronica Mars' currently unfolding second season will be graced by their presence.

Battlestar Galactica - Season One Soundtrack

This remake of the classic '70s space opera is getting kudos from fans and big ratings for FX. Now, you can relive the thrilling space battles and longing loves of the brave humans who search for the shining star called Earth.

This 80-minute CD encapsulates what viewers love about the show: stirring battle anthems and rousing romantic themes, blended into an orchestral and synthesizer medley by talented composer Bear McReary. This CD contains both the US and UK version of the theme song--that's nothing to say "Feldercarb" about!

Weeds - Music from the Original Series

Kicked off by Weeds' pleasantly surprising theme song, "Little Boxes," by late folk singer and political activist Malvina Reynolds, this soundtrack promises a track list as smart and witty as Showtime's offbeat new comedy. Weeds follows a recently widowed suburban mom as she supports her family by selling marijuana to the neighborhood's eager potheads, and many of the songs found here are as happily tongue-in-cheek as the show's premise.

Michael Franti & Spearhead's "Ganja Babe" and NRBQ's "Wacky Tobacky" directly address the smoky situation at hand, while tracks from indie kings The New Pornographers and Glasgow's rising Sons & Daughters remind you that these Weeds are grown on the hipper side of town.

Surprise your favorite couch potatoes with a legal high this holiday season--they won't be disappointed!

Six Feet Under - Volume Two, Everything Ends

Bury yourself in volume two of music from the recently deceased HBO series Six Feet Under. As long as you remember the show, it will live on. Also, it's on DVD, so that will help.

The music to this series is as memorable as the situations the Fisher family dealt with: Ruth deals with the specter of George's mental illness; Nate and Brenda grow apart; Frederico wants to upgrade Fisher and Diaz; Keith and David become the foster parents of two brothers; and Claire dates a Republican.

From the haunting "Breathe Me" to Radiohead's ethereal "Lucky," this soundtrack is perfect for road trips, head trips, or simply lying in bed with the lights out, staring at the ceiling.
