Spotted: Music journalist that loves the CW series Gossip Girl especially the CW's choice of using mostly unsigned, little known, or underground artists on the show.  With the threesome episode from this evening fresh in everyone's minds still-Dan and Olivia and Vanessa? Like, OMG!-let's pull back for a moment kids and focus on the tunage. 

Do indie kids really watch this show?  Oh yes.  Check out the conversation on Twitter.com if you don't believe.  Thanks to all my watch along buddies tonight.
