For both the casual moviegoer and the rabid fanatic, Disney soundtracks are sometimes as highly anticipated as the films themselves. From the recently-released Disney's A Christmas Carol, starring Jim Carrey, to next year's guaranteed blockbuster Toy Story 3, upcoming Disney movie soundtracks feature music composed by Randy Newman, Alan Silvestri, and Danny Elfman, as well as performances by Ne-Yo, Dr. John, Anika Noni Rose, and Andrea Bocelli.

Know what's harder to find than a can of pumpkin pie filling on Thanksgiving Eve? An album full of Thanksgiving songs for kids! So, I've compiled a list of some of the best Turkey Tunes for Tots from various CDs, from traditional songs like "Over the River and Through the Wood" by Dog On Fleas and The Quincy Choral Society, to thoughtful, original odes by John McCutcheon and Si Kahn, to fun, silly tunes by Debbie Friedman, The Uncle Brothers and Laurie Berkner.

Did you see the Google Doodle today? More and more Muppets will be featured on Google's front page in anticipation of Sesame Street's 40th Anniversary on November 10, 2009.
Besides a planned reissuing of three classic Sesame Street albums by Koch Records next week, fans can also look forward to a cover album of favorite Sesame Street and Muppet Show tunes in the near future. Koch Records and Sesame Workshop will release for the first time on CD The Original Cast Record, Big Bird Sings, and Bert & Ernie Sing Along, originally released in 1970, 1974, and 1975, respectively. And early next year Walt Disney Records will release Muppets Revisited, a CD of covers by folks like Weezer, My Morning Jacket, and Andrew Bird. Stay tuned for further info...
