This season of Gossip Girl has been slow and (more often than not) boring. So slow and boring that I just watched episode 9, thus the tardiness of this post.
I’m going to switch up the way I do these because the plot hasn’t been the only thing taking a toll this season. I’ll still give you every week’s full playlist, but I’ll focus on the tracks that truly made the episode special.
No track played this entire season deserves it more than Anya Marina’s wonderful cover of T.I.’s radio-killed “Whatever You Like”.
Anya Marina – Whatever You Like (T.I. Cover)
This really takes “Whatever You Like” to another level of modern masterpiece-dom, doesn’t it?
One for the Team’s “Questions and Panthers”, the first gorgeous track off their Build A Garden EP was also feature on this week’s episode. The timeless quality of the track may have been subdued in its particular use on Gossip Girl, but it is a fantastic track nevertheless.
One For The Team – Questions and Panthers
Basement Jaxx and Santigold’s “Saga” was the track Alex Pastavas decided to score that soon-to-be infamous “threesome scene” between *spoiler* Dan, Olivia, and Whatsherface. Sure, I was disappointed that they didn’t use Britney Spears’ “3″ (I mean really!), but I quickly got over it once I was reminded how awesome “Saga” is.
The entertaining and satisfying earcandy from the French indie-rock girl band the Plasticines has been featured on Gossip Girl before, but on this week’s episode, they actually showed up! It was priceless to see them sing “I’m a bitch! B-I-T-C-H” at Cotillion.
I can’t ignore Leighton Meester’s (Blair Waldorf) debut single as an “electro-pop” musician can I? It’s sensual, not very catchy, but surprisingly not that bad. Watch the steamy video below:

I totally agree, this season of gossip girl is by far the worst….the story/plot : (…makes me sad….,get the original writers back
i’m thoroughly addicted to gossip girl, so i can’t quit watching, no matter how uneventful this season is.
but my attention has definitely shifted elsewhere…to other shows on the ever-addictive CW.
at one point, PMA was comparing music from 90210 to gossip girl. this season, 90210 is winning by a large margin. you should consider going back to that show…not to mention that it currently has a lot more interesting plot lines.
p.s. the music from the vampire diaries isn’t half bad, either…
Its SantIgold. She changed it from Santo at the beginning of the year after some lawsuit or whatever.
Anyway, loved the TI-cover. I spazzed when the One For the Team track came on, cause for a second I thought it was Explosions in the Sky’s Friday Night Lights theme and was all “OMG, SYNERGY!”. Because I love both these shows more than I care to admit, ha.
It’s SantOgold, not Santigold.
silly idiot, glue isn’t for eating.
thank you Saga. I was trying to figure out what track they played during that bed scene.
I’m in love w/ One For The Team, thanks for sharing that track. And I won’t lie, Leighton Meester’s song is pretty chill.
omg, I love “Somebody To Love”! Robin Thicke is the ear sex master.
Great episode, music wise.
t was priceless to see them sing “I’m a bitch! B-I-T-C-H” at Cotillion.
LOL.
