For all you Simpsons fans getting ready to watch The Simpsons Movie, which opens in theaters on July 27th 2007, don't forget - there's a soundtrack too. A very special, The Simpsons Movie: Limited Edition Soundtrack with donut packaging!

The Simpsons soundtrack is set for release on July 31, 2007, and you can pre-order at amazon.com. Maybe not the most eco friendly packaging, but this is Homer Simpson we're talking about. What do you expect?! Maybe next time he'll become more environmentally aware.

I wouldn't mind having the little Simpsons donut souvenir, though. The only problem is everytime I see one of those pink donut images, I start to crave donuts. Not good.

The premiere will be held at the Springfield Theater on Main Street July 21st in Springfield, Vermont. There were 14 Springfields, USA competing to host The Simpsons Movie premiere by entering the Hometown Movie Challenge. Springfield, Vermont won and I can see why. The video is great.

When I lived in Vermont, on occasion I played gigs in Springfield. One of my old drummers lives there - I was looking for him in the video and anyone else that I might recognize, but didn't see anyone I know. I remember playing outside at the Plaza that's in The Simpsons Springfield, Vermont video a long time ago. Maybe for the Grand Opening of a store or something.

The Simpsons movie is being talked about quite a lot in the UK. It was so surreal watching the BBC news here in England and seeing some of my old stomping grounds around Vermont when they showed clips from the Hometown Movie Challenge winner. Simpsons creator Matt Groening was on UK TV show Richard and Judy the other day talking about the movie, which was fun to watch.

The Simpsons will be celebrating the 400th episode this season to coincide with the movie release. I'm looking forward to watching the movie and hearing the songs off of the soundtrack.

I can remember where I was the very first time I watched an episode of the Simpsons. It was around 1989 and my family was visiting my grandparents who at the time lived just outside of Seattle, Washington. I was sitting on the floor in their living room flipping through channels and when I saw it, couldn't help but watch the whole show.

Can you remember where you were the first time you saw your first episode?

Soundtrack description: "This movie score souvenir will contain the familiar themes from the TV show as well as original movie score by award winning composer/producer Hans Zimmer. The Soundtrack will be a must have for all Simpson's fans and donut lovers alike!"
