Music From Gossip Girl: Season 3, Episode 10

Music From Gossip Girl: Season 3, Episode 10 listenLady GaGa on Gossip Girl
Last night’s episode of Gossip Girl featured a lot of Lady Gaga (and even a performance by GaGa). So much that it was almost ridiculous. This GaGa injection was, no doubt, in promotion of Lady GaGa’s upcoming album The Fame Monster.

The episode prominently featured Monster “Bad Romance” and “Made in the Dark” — in fact, after Lady GaGa’s performance of “Bad Romance” on Gossip Girl, the song has climbed to the No. 1 stop on iTunes. But the standout GaGa track featured on Gossip Girl had to be that fierce Beyonce and Lady GaGa collaboration. Continue reading →

Music From Gossip Girl: Season 3, Episode 9

Music From Gossip Girl: Season 3, Episode 9 listenThis 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”. Continue reading →

Music on Gossip Girl: Season 3 Episode 8

Music on Gossip Girl: Season 3 Episode 8 music

Last night’s episode of Gossip Girl relied heavily (more than usual) on its music. It also featured plenty of low-key gems to keep you going until next week’s episode. One of the most impressive playlists on the series.

Music From Gossip Girl: Season 3, Episode 7

Music From Gossip Girl: Season 3, Episode 7 musicSo I didn’t do a Music From Gossip Girl post last week because I didn’t really like last week’s episode nor its music selection. This week’s episode was a lot better, and Alex Pastavas threw in a tune by one of my favorite new (and broken-up :( ) bands, the Harlem Shakes. Last night’s episode also featured tunes by the ever-impressive Delta Spirit.

Make sure to read this week’s recap over at the delicious Daily Intel @ NY Mag, but before you do, check out this week’s Gossip Girl playlist.

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

Yeah, I know… I’m a day late on this, but I only watched this week’s episode last night. Musically, the episode was a winner. It included two of my favorite artists of 2009, indie rock’s cutest duo Matt & Kim and everyone’s French rockers, Phoenix. But what was more exciting was that Sonic Youth made a great cameo on Gossip Girl and not only played at, but MARRIED Lily and Rufus, thanks to a “shady internet service”. I say that is how you soundtrack good TV.

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

Gossip Girl’s music selection for its third season is finally getting interesting. Last night’s star-studded episode (insert: read NY Mag’s hilarious and inspired GG recaps every Tuesday morning), was the season’s most interesting, musically and otherwise.

As always, Gossip Girl played a handful of tracks by small bands you probably never heard of, but Alex Pastavas always keeps a goodie for the Gossip Girl’s closing monologue (which was awfully good last night).

Last week they closed with Miike Snow’s “Animal,” in a cutesy scene, and but this week they turned to Passion Pit’s “Moth’s Wings” in a plot-relevant scene. I’m more impressed by Pastavas’ decision to license “Moth’s Wings” (over other delectable Passion Pit cuts like “Little Secrets” or “The Reeling”) than the actual use of the track.

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:

Leighton Meester with Awesome New Republic, Cobra Starship & Bette Davis

Leighton Meester with Awesome New Republic, Cobra Starship & Bette Davis listen
Gorgeous Gossip Girl bitch Blair Waldorf Leighton Meester has reportedly been recording an “electropop” album that is slated to release later this Fall. Last year, Leighton’s cover of “Bette Davis Eyes” hit the web to an unsuspecting fanbase. The girl singing sounded nothing like our beloved Blair Waldorf. This, of course, was not a bad thing.

Since then, Meester has hooked up with Awesome New Republic on “Birthday” and she has now recorded with Cobra Starship on a track for their upcoming album. Using these two songs as markers, I think it’s safe to assume that Leighton Meester will give Katy Perry a run for her money.

Haven’t you heard? She’s the crazy bitch around here. Told ya.

Catch Leighton’s 3 songs after the jump. Continue reading →

The REAL MTV- Music On TV

The REAL MTV Music On TV mp3

You go, Gossip Girl!

They only used three songs in “You’ve Got Yale,” Gossip Girl’s 16th episode of season two, but boy were they good ones. A doubling up of Cold War Kids awesomeness (”Mexican Dogs” and album opener, “Against Privacy”), along with an actual song called “The Double” by We Fell To Earth.

If you don’t have Loyalty To Loyalty yet, but you enjoyed the Kids’ last effort, what are you waiting for? The album may get too drawn out at times, and it may not have the same magic of Robbers And Cowards, but it’s still worth a listen or a ton.

The LIST:
