Well it’s been a couple of weeks since the pilot for Gossip Girl aired on the CW and in the intervening time I’ve watched more of Entourage season 2, listened to the newest albums from Dashboard Confessional and Foo Fighters, and wondered what movie to rent with all these free redbox codes that are google easy to find.
Anyway, the second episode of Gossip Girl contained a lot of music but not quite as much as the premiere. Considering there were over twenty songs used in that first episode I’ll admit that it will be hard to ever live up to that impressive, albeit slightly scattered, quota. In the second episode the music selection followed a similar path weaving together under appreciated indie and pop music with garbage dance hip hop. Yes, sorry, Rhianna is garbage. If they really want to include some fresh and well crafted dance hip hop style music then they should look into the likes of Girl Talk.
Here’s the tracks I could find that were included in the second episode. Enjoy them.
mp3 : Ferraby Lionheart - The Ballad of Gus and Sam
mp3 : Gia Farrell - Hit Me Up
mp3 : Gym Class Heroes - The Queen and I
mp3 : Joss Stone - Tell Me Bout It
mp3 : Rhianna - Shut Up and Drive
mp3 : Rooney - When Did Your Heart Go Missing
mp3 : The Bravery - Believe
Definitely check out the track by Ferraby Lionheart and avoid the Rhianna track like the plague. I almost didn’t post it here but included it to attempt at being a well rounded and well read blogger. Also, I would check out the Rooney track and note that the lead singer of the band is the brother of Jason Scwartzman who originally played drums for Phantom Planet before dropping the music career to become fast friends with Wes Andersen and be a giant movie star. Well at least a giant movie star to people who watch good films.
