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”). 

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!
