Another week of television is wrapping up for me. In the next few weeks I should have a little more to work with on the music supervision front. We should definitely see some creativity from Alex over on the set of Grey's, Private Practice, as well as Chuck. On an entirely selfish plug: Heroes premieres on Monday, and if they don't keep my girl Kristen Bell/Elle/Former Ms. Veronica Mars, then I'm going to throw down. Till then, here are my highlights from lovable/cantstandable CW fluff...
Gossip Girl Episode 2x03: The Dark Night
Santogold - Lights Out [ysi]
Two weeks in a row Santie makes the cut. Here's to hoping she rides her indie buzz to the top. Just not a la M.I.A.- from indie Arular princess to mainstream radio queen; I don't want SGold getting on my nerves.
The Fashion - Like Knives [ysi]
Most fun song of the whole episode hands down, though it doesn't have much competition this week. Alex P is my girl, but she needs to step up the music selection this season.
Manchester Orchestra - I Can Feel a Hot One [ysi]
PS. If anyone watches Entourage (they should) Leighton Meester reprises her role from the first season again in recent episodes and let's just say she's a little more "experienced" then her original Hilary Duff teen-pop princess persona. But ain't that the way the Disney star deteriorates...?

90210 Episode 1x04: The Bubble
The Courteeners - Not Nineteen Forever [ysi]
Spring Awakening Cast - Mama Who Bore Me (Reprise) [ysi]
Who thought Duncan Sheik was going to get past that nineties one hit wonder status? I'm glad to be proven so so wrong in this case, as his original musical is now one of the most successful and critically acclaimed on Broadway. Barely Breathing? I think not.
The New Pornographers - Adventures in Solitude [ysi]
Check out the live version of this song - it's absolutely captivating. More than begin / But less than forget / But spirits born / From the not happened yet / Gathering there / To pay off a debt brought back from the wars / We thought we lost you
The Kooks - Always Where I Need to Be [ysi]
Privileged Episodes 1x01 & 1x02: Pilot, All About Honesty

Kate Nash - Merry Happy [ysi]
Nellie McKay - David
Remember back when this was used in Weeds? Pitch perfect.
Lily Allen - Mr. Blue Sky (Electric Light Orchestra Cover)
Sohodolls - Bang Bang Bang Bang [ysi]
Since picking up their CD last year, this has always been their standout track to me. Even the bad girl inside every good girl can feel this as her theme song.

The Bird and the Bee - Come As You Were [ysi]
Possibly my favorite of the series so far. Not even a huge B & B fan, but this EP is excellent, and as coda picks go, this was pretty strong.
Rilo Kiley - Dejalo [ysi]
Peace, Love, and the return of _BC television,

PS. My Kanye/Love Lockdown post lasted for a total of two days before it was deleted by the higher powers. I apologize for incurring the wrath of said gods. How Big Brotherish does this sound...
