The nostalgia-laden Sleepless in Seattle album contained actual songs from the movie, like Louis Armstrong's classy A Kiss to Build a Dream On. This shameless Sleepless sequel, featuring selections like Al Jolson's Sonny Boy, includes a disclaimer: ''None of the recordings in this collection appear in the motion picture Sleepless in Seattle.''

"Researchers are shameless in colluding with the drug companies in a lot of their shenanigans," says Angell from her home in Cambridge, Massachusetts - and for her that's the most demoralizing part of the mess.
