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.

DAN’S DANCE PARTY
The first time is the hardest, or so they say. While this might not apply to activities you can do while shitfaced drunk (sex, riding a bike, driving, delivering a baby), it DEFINITELY applies to writing for an awesome, successful blog. My name is Dan, and I’ve been word-masturbating (writing a blog with 5 readers) for a while, but now I’m about to have word-sex with all of you, and I’m a little nervous. I’m here to let you know that breaking it down is the SHIT, and to bring you the newest developments and most awesome artists in the “breaking it down” umbrella of musical genres. So! Once a week, you’ll get to read my fucking AWESOME words, in one of 3, that’s right 3, fan-tas-tic formats: Continue reading →

Mika – We Are Golden
Mika’s back, and this time with more Divo power and Broadway lust it seems. The first single off his sophomore debut features the same title as the LP, and includes a full-blown backup chorus.
‘We are Golden’ has quite the catchy tune and the message is nothing but inspirational. However, it just seems like this track would be better suited as part of the soundtrack for a Fame musical spinoff.
If you were a Mika fan before this, then I’m sure you will enjoy ‘We are Golden’.
However, if you didn’t like Mika or were indifferent to his music beforehand, then this track probably won’t win you over.
There are several remixes that have come out, and I will say I prefer almost every single one to the original. My two favorites are the Calvin Harris remix and the Jokers of the Scene remix. They take away the Broadway pomp that might turn off some fans.
Verdict: Over the top & show-tune-y, but true to Mika’s style. His message throughout the track is quite noble, and I imagine this to be a good inspirational anthem for the young non-conformists out there.

Gossip Girl vs 90210 Music Showdown: Episode 7
Alright, I’ve been really negligent of this column. I have no excuse — unless laziness counts? Anyway, I’m going to try to catch up. This time we’re looking at Episode 7’s music for both Gossip Girl and 90210 (this is NOT what aired this week, so please spare me the “corrections”).Â
Gossip Girl took Episode 6’s Music Showdown (surprisingly!!), but this week looks like a no brainer.
Big pics do not imply ANY BIAS whatsoever. I’m so above that.
Gossip Girl – Chuck In Real Life. Aired 10.20.08
White Apple Tree – Snowflakes
The Black Keys – Lies
Alain Whyte – City Nights
Alain Whyte – NYC Streets
Alain Whyte – Martini Lounge
The Virgins – One Week of Danger
Mildred Anderson – Hard Times
Guillemots – Sea Out
Yeah, I was staring at this list with a blank expression too. I’ve only heard of The Black Keys and the Virgins. The rest don’t ring a bell at all. But knowing Gossip Girl, all these artists will be big sometime in 2009.
90210 – Hollywood Forever. Aired 10.07.08
Sixx:A.M. – Tomorrow
Tilly and the Wall – Cacophony
Katy Perry – Hot N Cold
2am Club – Worry About You
Simone White – You May Be in the Darkness
Ingrid Michaelson – Be OK
Ananova – Feather
A-501 – I Don’t Know Why
MIKA – Any Other World
90210 is consistent and wonderfully eclectic. Vote wisely this time!
PS: Sorry, lots of YouTube links this time. It was pretty hard to track down any of these songs!

What Perez Sez: Satisfy You’re Inner Bitch.
OK! MAGAZINE
The self proclaimed “Queen of all Media,” Perez Hilton is celebrating the premier of his TV Show, What Perez Sez — only on VH1, tonight at 9 PST. Thank gawd! I’ve always wanted to know what E! on gay crack looked like! To be honest, I am actually looking forward to Perez’s new venture. On his blog, he gives his audience a bitter taste of the vile they can expect tonight. You gotta love the flaming-hair-dying-queen Perez brings out in all of us. Here is the ever-name dropping Hilton (or at least one of them) with M.I.A, MIKA, Michael Buble, Mandy Moore, Simon Cowell, Pete Wentz, Beth Ditto Nelly Furtado, and Amy Winehouse, after the jump.
