Does anyone have any recommendations for somewhat recent (post-2000) TV or movie popular music soundtracks (or some other kind of compilation)? I tend to like alternative rock, but I'm open to any genre. [more inside]

I am looking for a book that was used as a textbook for an english composition course at Northeastern University in 1999. The book was a compilation of nature essays including Kerouac. I believe the professor was an adjunct at the time who used the book.

I'm looking for a mix/compilation of Michael Jackson songs that I heard played recently at a club. It's a single track that combines many of his more popular dance numbers. I know it contained parts of Billie Jean, Thriller, Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, Beat It, and Bad, and there were a few other songs that I don't recall. As far as I can tell, the songs were simply blended together via cross-fades and were not remixed or rerecorded, and the track itself was long--probably at least 10 minutes. Any ideas what I heard and where I can find it?

I'm making a compilation CD for my little girls (ages six and three) and I'm looking for happy stuff with female vocalists that has the same sort of vibe as Manu Chao's bongo bong, and/or Sublime's happier stuff, but that is appropriate for, you know, little kids. [more inside]

I'm making a compilation of songs about the night- either titles directly pertaining to the night (Night Swimming, The Heart of Saturday Night) or just songs that have 'something of the night' about them- whether soothing, moody, ominous or still. What songs lull you in the darkness? Thanks, Hivemind.

I give up. I've been searching for months for a remix of the song Underwater Love by Smoke City. The version I'm looking for was on an electronic/dance compilation a friend had bought in Spain in the late 90s. I'm not even sure if this version was done by Smoke City. The original song is slow and lovely, but I want the fast danceable version. Any info or leads would be appreciated.

The Chillout 2000 compilation album has made me very curious about a group called Nimbus, as you can see from the link. Google searches turn up very little about them, and I'd like to know, what happened to them? The album is from the UK, if that helps.

I have a second question about one of the quotes Nimbus sampled. I will post it inside the thread, since the quote is long. [more inside]
