Just when you thought it was okay to ignore them, The OC music department brainstormed a fab idea: Indie covering Indie! Here’s the promising tracklisting:

Goldspot – “Float On” ? Modest Mouse
Rock Kills Kid – “I 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 Our Room” – Clinic
Band Of Horses – “The End’s Not Near” ? The New Year
Chris Holmes – “Into Dust” ? Mazzy Star

The cleverly-titled The O.C. Mix 6: Covering Our Tracks is out 12/5. And we know you’re so over the show, so you probably won’t want to see the upcoming-season’s trailers. Thought so.

  2. band of horses covering the new year seems damn promising.

    as annoying as that song ["california"] is, i’d be interested to hear what mates of state do with it.

    Rogue Wav covering Debaser sounds promising

  5. you can hear rogue wave doing debaser live here, http://www.archive.org/details/roguewave2006-08-11.flac16
    Not sure what the studio version will sound like, but it should be good

  6. I love ELO to death, but that cover sticks out like an elephant in a goldfish bowl

  7. sov doing johnny rotten sounds like it’ll be good. I think I’ll pass on the rest.

    That ELO song has already been spledifferously covered by Fountains of Wayne. So, you know.

    I AM JUST SAYING

    I’ve yet to hear a good Clinic cover, but I’m interested to hear how this sounds. At least they’re attempting a song with lyrics that are understandable.

  10. I’m super excited for the Band of Horses covering the New Year. Tremendously underrated band. Still managing to make great records despite being relatively un-influential.

    cheers, baby

    Well, as much as I hate the OC (always have, for the record. I find it dull, it’s not all just pretention, haha), I’m vaugely intrigued.

  13. band of horses covering anything sounds promising.
    also, i’m saddened that i don’t give a damn about the OC anymore.
    ‘the OC Disorder.’
    ‘don’t call it that’

  14. Mates of State is a fucking great band.

  15. The Rogue Wave, Band of Horses and M’s tracks all seem intriguing to me. The rest I could give or take. Give mostly.

    what is the name on the song and who sings it,almost at the end of show,when ryan goes out the window to avoid sandy,and goes to see julie.

  19. I remember the Band of Horses song on a certain episode, I forget which one, all I remember is that it was fucking incredible.

    i’d like to call your attention to the tally hall cover of smile like you mean it. tally hall is an amazing band with incredible talent for harmony and they certainly show that off in this cover.
