I Am Not Homer
I Am Not Homer is a celebration of the comic versatility of Dan Castellaneta, the voice of not only Homer Simpson, but Barney, Groundskeeper Willie, Krusty, and Grandpa as well. Alongside comedian and wife Deb Lacusta, Castellaneta offers forth his first comic sketch album, a collection of eight sketches and one song ("Homer’s Lament"). The mind of Dan Castellaneta is a very powerfully hilarious thing.

Go Simpsonic With The Simpsons
When champions of The Simpsons contend that the animated TV show is the best-written show on the small screen, they're referring as much to the songs that pop up in most episodes as the dialogue. The musical hotbed of indeterminate locale has drawn everyone from Sonic Youth to Tony Bennett, both of whom contribute original material to Go Simpsonic.

The Simpsons: The Yellow Album
The Yellow Album brings Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Marge, and Homer Simpson to a whole 'nother level of the game. Accompanied by a diverse selection of backup musicians, the Simpsons take aim at a number of genres, from Bart's affection for rap to Homer's sensitive cover of Willie Nelson's "Funny How Time Slips Away" with Linda Ronstadt. But Apu and the Squishees are the big surprise. Their cut, "Twenty-Four Hours a Day," is an embittered piece of working-class electro-funk that rivals the best in modern protest music.

The Simpsons Sing the Blues
Who would've thought that The Simpsons could sing so well on what is actually a pretty serious album. Sure, "Look At All Those Idiots", "Sibling Rivalry", and "Born Under A Bad Sign" are comedy, Lisa does a great saxamaphone job on "God Bless The Child" and Homer and Marge pull off a great duet of "I Love To See You Smile". Of course, Bart's "Deep, Deep Trouble" became a hit, and "Do The Bartman" became a signature song, but they both take a backseat to "School Day", a great, rousing duet with Bart and the original singer of the classic rock n roll song.

The Simpsons: Songs In The Key Of Springfield
Who said musical comedy was dead? There are more shining moments in each of these 39 zippy little numbers than in the complete score of any bloated Broadway dud today. Peppered with original dialogue, and seven renditions of "The Simpsons Main Title Theme" (including Australian, Big Band, and Afro-Cuban), this disc includes beloved originals like "Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart?" Even better are the scathing parodies: "Oh, Streetcar!"; "Dr. Zaius"; and "See My Vest." Songs is a sparkling tonic to sustain you through the seven dreary days between Sunday evenings.
