Gossip Girl vs 90210 Music Showdown: Episode 4

Gossip Girl Music Playlist for Episode 3 kills 90210’s music selections.

This week we will be trying to decide which show had the best music for their fourth episode. Just to clarify, 90210’s is one episode ahead of Gossip Girl because of its 2-hour series premiere (it counted as two separate episodes). Gossip Girl’s The Ex-Files episode features tons of, what can already be considered, 2008 classics; namely, more Santogold and MGMT. There was a pleasant surprise to Gossip Girl’s indie name dropping. Both Santogold’s and MGMT’s tracks made it to iTunes Top 100 chart. By now, Santogold’s “Shove It” has fallen off, but MGMT’s “Electric Feel” is still haning on.

Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl - The Ex-Files.
Santogold – Shove It
Cloud Cult – Please Remain Calm
MGMT – Electric Feel
Chris Chavez – The Observer
The Republic Tigers – Buildings and Mountains
Nappy Roots – Good Day
The Little Ones – My Morning Tide

90210’s music selection is still substantially larger than Gossip Girl’s, but remember, it’s not about quantity but about quality. 90210’s Music Supervisors seem to lack the ability to tie the song with the scene the way Gossip Girl’s amazing music team does. Oh and who the fuck is Senor Happy? And why did they play 3 of their songs?

90210 tries to play both fields by adding the chart-topping “Disturbia” and the Hot AC winner “Don’t Believe In Love,” but do shine their Pitchdork pride with some New Pornographers.

90210 – The Bubble
Rihanna – Disturbia
Headland – The Trance
Senor Happy – How Many Ways
Lori Denae – Changes
Lori Denae – Laving
Drug Rug – Day I Die
Senor Happy – She’s New
The Courteeners – Not Nineteen…
Senor Happy – Even The Score
Dido – Don’t Believe In Love
The New Pornographers – Adventures In Solitude

    It’s time to get Chuck back into the competition! Even if it’s a bit behind episode-wise, a three-way competition for the week’s best music would be dandy.

  5. I hear ya, man. I’m pretty stormed with tests at school today (and tomorrow and wednesday!) so i just grabbed the mp3s i already had. I know, terrible. I’ll owe it to you for next time.

    Kinda disappointed with the minimalism here. ‘Shove It’ was the only song I didn’t have — mind offering some of that there indie stuff next time around?
