Music From Gossip Girl: Season 3, Episode 2

Music From Gossip Girl: Season 3, Episode 2 listen

Season 3, Episode: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10

Last night’s Gossip Girl was a bit sleepy. They played the same two songs quite a bit (one of them a nice Just Jack track that I wholly approve of, and another featuring Blair Waldorf herself). Despite showing some bias with Cobra Starship, Gossip Girl also paid tribute to one of the blogosphere’s favorite French rockers, Phoenix.

Other than that, the second episode was void of any other savvy music selections. A bit odd for Gossip Girl, but it’s been known to happen. Will the smooth, irresistible stylings of Phoenix be enough to call this episode a win?

Gossip Girl, Season 3, Episode 2: The Freshman


[download id="286"] My pick of the night.
Names In Vain – Problems With Authority Summons
Thanks Keso!
[download id="287"] This song has been stuck in my head all summer long, I resent it now.
[download id="288"]
Phoenix is everywhere now.
[download id="289"] This song probably fits the episode most. Plus it’s so catchy, it’s stupid.

I’ll go with no. I would have been a bit more impressed if Gossip Girl played Phoenix’s new single, “Fences,” and not the song everyone’s been creaming about for over half a year now (“1901″). Hell, I’d even settle for the superior “Lisztomania,” or the oft-criminally ignored “Big Sun.”

    Hot Mess is one of the catchiest tracks I've heard in ages, the rest of the album is really fun top. Cobra Starship is great live too, I would definitely recommend you see them.

  12. fun

    just jack – embers

  13. shmeksi86

  15. Marianna

    Guys, please help.
    I am dying for a song from episode 1 season 3 when Chuck is making out with the blonde in the beginning of the episode?

    Ideas anyone?

      no sex for ben – the rapture

  16. you'll be a little lost, and sort of bored. it has been relying heavily on
    the characters' pasts so far.

    PS: i love 1901, but I was just saying that there would are better, less
    exposed choices.

  17. shmeksi86

    I would like to hear Lasso it suits perfectly to the ambient

  18. shmeksi86

    Whenever I see his new GF I think of Reba, and that's a bad thing :P

  19. I love 1901, but I would like other great Phoenix tracks to see some exposure as well (hello, Lisztomania). Oh and I do not recommend just jumping in season 3… not because you'll be lost or something like that (though you probably will be), but you'll probably end up disliking it :P

    Even if 1901 is adorned by everyone, you can't knock that song because there are so many great remixes of it out there that it never gets old, atleast not quite yet. Just Jack's Embers is one of his best songs, can you just start watching season 3? or will you be lost if you havent seen the previous two?

  24. While I'm guessing songs that we might hear this season, let me throw in “Song For No One” by Miike Snow. “Eazy Speaks” by Apostle of Hustle. Passion Pit, maybe “Little Secrets” or “The Reeling.” Discovery “Orange Shirt”

    Those are all very… Gossip Girl-y. lol

  25. Yeah, though I have the feeling Alex is all about the big crossover singles. So my guess is “Heavy Gross”

  26. Keso

    Luis, the song by Names In Vain is called “Summons”, not “Problems With Authority”. Read this:

    :)

    Well I think that we can bet that in some of the future episodes there will be a song from Gossip. My money is on the Dimestore Diamond, it has that GG sound to it (which is a stupid qualification but still).

  28. Name

    what is the very last song that was played? (episode 2 season 3)

  29. Phoenix saved this ep for me. Too much cobra starship love (which isn't really a bad thing, but just weird for GG). But at least the episode was interesting. Minus Nate Archibald. He's such a snoozefest and his new Whoville girlfriend is just as boring too.

  30. Just because I think it would be punny, I'd like to see Gossip do a song for
    Gossip Girl.

  31. shmeksi86

    I feel you Luis, one of the worst music jobs on the show. I don't know what was Alex thinking but it sucked.

    On Gossip Girl fan page on FB there was a status where you could ask her any question I just hope that we will hear answers to the most interesting ones. I asked her if she planned on comissioning (in lack of a better term) a band that would do a song just for GG.
