In this age of downloading a single song here and there, the fun of a good soundtrack is getting a little bit lost. Sure, they might just be glorified playlists, but I still get a kick out of them. Whether they invoke memories of a movie I really enjoyed or introduce me to new artists, I'm a sucker for a good soundtrack.

Even though it's all MP3s all the time these days, I still have tons of old CDs from the prehistoric era of music and I can't bear to toss them out. I was flipping through them the other day and stumbled across all the awesome soundtracks I happen to own.
Do you remember the animated Anastasia, voiced by Meg Ryan and John Cusack?

Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores, including iTunes. So I take a spin through each week's iTunes music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. In addition to these picks, you can download new singles from Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and the Smashing Pumpkins.

My question is: What took them so long? I kid, but honestly, you knew a Gossip Girl soundtrack had to be coming because a) that's what good teen dramas do, and b) the show is as good at music as it is at one-liners.
So, the first Gossip Girl soundtrack has been compiled by The O.C.'s former music supervisor, Alexandra Patsavas (you know how I feel about her).

From scoring an entire episode with songs from New York band The Virgins to featuring an a capella version of Fergie's "Glamorous," Gossip Girl has certainly done its part to bring good music to television this year. That's probably not a huge surprise, though: Its music supervisor, Alexandra Patsavas, has brought memorable songs to shows like The OC and Grey's Anatomy as well.
As I was reading a recent interview with Patsavas, I started thinking about what makes a good TV soundtrack.

The sweet, quirky Juno soundtrack was — much like the movie that spawned it — one of those little indies that could. Filled with songs by the relatively little-known Moldy Peaches and their spinoff projects, the soundtrack shot to the top of the Billboard charts in January. And now, it's getting a sequel!

Yesterday I told you about The Hottest State, the movie written and directed by Ethan Hawke that opens later this month. What I didn't mention was the movie's awesome soundtrack, which consists of 18 songs by some of my favorite artists, including Bright Eyes, Feist, M. Ward and more.

I've been looking forward to seeing Dreamgirls—the girl-group musical starring Beyonce—for months, but the release date is still a couple of weeks away. If you need something to hold you over, Pop already posted the video for the movie's first single, and if you still want more, you can now stream the soundtrack in its entirety here. I'm a bit hot and cold on this music, though; some of it sounds like great Phil Spector-esque girl band magic, but other tracks just sound like a bad movie musical.

The film version of this Fall's sequel to Twilight isn't all fans have been rabidly anticipating — the New Moon soundtrack picked up enough steam to be released today instead of next Tuesday. It's no wonder it was rushed out; Death Cab for Cutie's video for "Meet Me on the Equinox", premiered to much fanfare, as did the tracklist, revealed barely a month ago.
The wait is over, and you can go buy the disc, download it, or stream the soundtrack on MySpace for free today.
