Music From Gossip Girl: Season 3, Episode 3
Season 3, Episode: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10
Last night’s episode of Gossip Girl was my favorite so far of the season, but I was pretty slow on the musical side of things. That is not to say that the song choices were bad. On the contrary, actually. Last night’s episode included a really great cover of Hot Chip’s “Ready For The Floor” by Lissy Trullie, as well as one of my favorite tracks of 2009. Here was Episode 3’s full playlist:

Music From Gossip Girl: Season 3, Episode 1
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:

Miike Snow – Animal (Mark Ronson Remix)
Well, fancy that… Mark Ronson has been raving about Miike Snow’s down-right irresistible “Animal” for a while now, on Twitter. What is a GRAMMY-famous super-producer to do? Remix the blasted song, of course.
Ronson added smooth jazz horms on this one, reminiscent of his re-imagination of Coldplay’s “God Put A Smile Upon Your Face,” all that’s missing is the thunderous, rolling percussion. Granted, Mark Ronson went for a reggae, throwback feel, slowing things up a bit. Do I miss the idiosyncratic Ronson drums? Hell yeah, I do. But idiosyncratic Ronson brass does it for me too, and it holds up pretty damn well.
Oh and this mp3 must be off an expanding mix because during the last 12 seconds or so, you can hear Lady GaGa imploring us to look at her, off her hook from Wale’s “Chillin’”

There are many reasons why I feel that summertime is the best time of the year, and most of them are here on this playlist. Spanning thirty-six songs (!!), this 16th pmaCAST — and our longest podcast ever, clocking in at over 2 hours and 10 minutes — is all about the tunes that make a perfect summertime listen. Download this here or on iTunes (via the links above), put it on your iPod, put it on a mixtape-shaped flash-drive (seriously, buy one) and give it to your friends, play it at a beach party — do something with it!
