In this week’s episode, we had probably just as much fun as Blair at her bachelorette party (minus the arrest and hangover). The games, the dancing, the MUSIC! This week’s music spotlight goes to LMFAO, the band who’s songs “Party Rock Anthem” and “Sexy and I know It” were featured and got the party started.
Check out the videos of the two songs below and be sure to add them to your bachelorette (or basically any other party) playlist!

“Just because we can’t be together doesn’t mean I won’t love you.” – Blair to Chuck in this week’s episode. Did you get chills when she said that? Perhaps it was because of the words, or perhaps because of the music playing in the background.
This week’s music spotlight goes to James Vincent McMorrow, whose song played during the last scene of Monday night’s show. The song was a cover of Chis Isaak’s “Wicked Game.” Check out the video below to hear the song in full. And if you like James’ music, head on over to his MySpace page to hear more.

They say that music sets the mood, and in this week’s episode of Gossip Girl, the plot was very much dictated by the songs playing the background. The disco-themed ep featured music from old-school artists like Donna Summer, Kool and the Gang, and Chic. Joining the lineup were some up-and-comers including All Mankind, a group of Australian guys currently based in the UK.
Their song “Simple Desire” played during the scene when Max and Charlie/Ivy met for coffee. A great soundtrack for a little manipulation, blackmail and romance gone awry, yes? Check out some of the lyrics from the song below:
“A heart unsatisfied, walks on a wire
From the lover to the loved, blind as a fire
Warning signs are passed aside, fuel to the fire
A heart will come undone, by a simple desire”
Listen to “Simple Desire” and the other songs featured on “Rhodes to Perdition” on Spotify! Which one was your fave?

Gossip Girl is known for the drama, fashion and, of course, the music! In “The Big Sleep No More,” one of the most buzzed-about songs of the episode was playing in the background during the masked party. The song, “Shells of Silver,” is by The Japanese Popstars, a group of three guys from Northern Ireland who are signed to indie record label Gung-Ho Recordings.
Fun fact: While their main talent is music, the trio also designed their very own brand of Nike trainers called JAPSTARS01.
Check out more of their music here and let us know what you think about this band!
And listen to more featured music from The Big Sleep No More on Spotify:
- “Haunted Heart” – little hurricane
- “Black Hills” – Gardens & Villa

On last week’s riveting Gossip Girl episode, Dan Humphrey learned a thing or two about being the center of attention — sometimes, being an “It” guy has its share of unsavory repercussions. (Then again, what are a few consequences when you’ve written a highly-acclaimed novel that’s the talk of the Upper East Side?) Either way, episode 5.04 was drama central – full of juicy gossip, unforgettable fashion and, naturally, the hottest beats.
Tune in for this week’s Gossip Girl playlist based on music from “Memoirs of an Invisible Dan”:
“Quite Nice People” by Ida Maria: Plays near the beginning of the episode.
