More about the CD:
“OMFGG – ORIGINAL MUSIC FEATURED ON GOSSIP GIRL NO. 1,” is the first companion soundtrack to the hit CW series, Gossip Girl. The album features an array of tracks from a range of today’s most intriguing new artists, including the Virgins, the Republic Tigers, Phantom Planet, the Kills, and the Ting Tings. “OMFGG – ORIGINAL MUSIC FEATURED ON GOSSIP GIRL NO. 1” became available digitally on September 2nd – one day after the hugely anticipated Season 2 premiere of Gossip Girl. The soundtrack will then arrive in stores everywhere on CD on October 28th.
Compiled by Gossip Girl creators Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz, along with Gossip Girl's music supervisor extraordinaire Alexandra Patsavas (Chuck, The O.C, Grey's Anatomy, Mad Men), “OMFGG – ORIGINAL MUSIC FEATURED ON GOSSIP GIRL NO. 1” gathers together a remarkable selection of forward-thinking young bands, such as Crystal Castles, Oppenheimer, and the Teenagers. Among the soundtrack’s many highlights is a booming cover of Siouxsie & the Banshees’ classic “Cities In Dust,” performed by the one-and-only Junkie XL.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a true Gossip Girl soundtrack without some of NYC’s best and brightest. Among the New Yorkers represented are the Pierces and the Strokes’ Albert Hammond Jr. What’s more, the album features an early version of the Virgins’ “One Week of Danger,” originally found on the acclaimed Big Apple-based band’s now-impossible-to-find self-released EP. All songs on “OMFGG – ORIGINAL MUSIC FEATURED ON GOSSIP GIRL NO. 1” were initially featured throughout the breakthrough first season of Gossip Girl.
