Nothing sketcky going on here

I really like that there's absolutely no preferential treatment or not-so-hidden agendas in the music selections for the new season of Gossip Girl. It simply must be a coincidence that Cobra Starship's "Good Girls Go Bad" (featuring vocals by Leighton Meester) was played during not one but TWO crucial Blair moments in tonight's episode. Come on, Gossip Girl, I expected better of you...

In several ways perhaps. Two episodes in, the jury's still out on season 3 of Gossip Girl in my opinion. The show used to be ridiculous and unpredictable in a way that you felt like you were witnessing an exaggerated truth about a specific subculture of the world that is the NYC prep school scene. However now that most of the characters are in college, and college is something that an overwhelming portion or 20-somethings have experienced, we all can feel that the events are a little more than a tad unrealistic. Unless your school allowed sushi and sake martini parties in the freshman dorm common room, or advertised keg parties on the roof complete with a DJ and PA system. Then by all means, correct my cynicism. And then send me an application.
