The (recently cancelled if The CW doesn't pick it up) O.C. stopped being relevant about halfway through its first season, but Alexandra Patsavas' music supervision remained top-notch throughout the series' run. Here are some songs I've heard on the show that I would have picked for compilation if I'd been in charge of one of its numerous soundtrack releases:
California - Phantom Planet
Come Into Our Room - Clinic
Dice - Finley Quaye
Alone - Trespassers William
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
Worn Me Down - Rachael Yamagata
Lay Lady Lay - Magnet
Hardcore Days and Softcore Nights - Aqueduct
Frequency - Feeder
House on Fire [Remix] - Arkarna
An Honest Mistake - The Bravery
Blind Asylum - Orenda Fink
Girl and the Sea - The Presets
Earthquakes and Sharks - Brandtson
