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?

Music From Gossip Girl: Season 3, Episode 1

Music From Gossip Girl: Season 3, Episode 1 listen

We used to do this thing where Gossip Girl’s and Chuck’s episodic music selections would go head to head in a “showdown” and you, the beautiful readers, would vote for your favorite playlist. After Gossip Girl’s continual ass-kicking, I decided to move on from Chuck and onto the slightly hipper 90210. While being a bit more of a competitor, Gossip Girl still creamed 90210 in the polls. Instead of moving on to other music-savvy shows (i.e. Entourage, etc.), I think it’s time we just focused on the show that has had great music for over two seasons now.

Alex Pastavas, the music supervisor for Gossip Girl (as well as Grey’s Anatomy, Chuck, The OC, Mad Men, and Twilight) has done a great job on the show’s music and is keeping it up for the show’s third season, which premiered last night. The season premiere featured one of this year’s favorite new artists, Miike Snow, as well as the cute, indie-pop duo Matt & Kim. They also brought in fresh faces (to me anyway), Brakes with their catchy tune “Oh! Forever.” Here is Episode 1’s full playlist:

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Season Finale (pt 1)

Ameri-kizzy I-dizzy. Adam v. Kris with a K. This… is American Idol!

I can’t believe that we’re at the end of the road! We’re in the Nokia Theatre, which is substantially larger than the hovel we’re used to and Seacrest immediately starts drawing images of acoustic rocker v. glam rocker, Conway v. California, the guy next door v. guyliner (no! Guyliner is on LOST). We see the judges; Randy is wearing polka dots, stripes, plaid, and all other types of patterns. Kara looks nice, Paula looks like she’s been sleeping in a tanning booth, and Si actually dressed up for the occasion. We welcome the finalists, and here they are. Continue reading →
