This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
All the cool kids will want to find this holiday offering from the hit prime-time teen soap in their stocking.
CHESTNUTS ROASTED: The Raveonettes put their frosty shimmer on The Christmas Song; Jimmy Eat World rewrap George Michael’s Last Christmas; Rooney crank up Slade’s Merry Xmas Everybody.
YULE LOVE: Ben Kweller’s new folk-blues reading of Rock of Ages; The Long Winters’ soulful seduction of Christmas With You is the Best.
YULE WISH: That this disc were as inclusive as the show’s fake holiday — if you’re looking for Hanukkah songs, you won’t find any on this 27-minute trifle.
