xoxo...It's Blitz


Spotted. The single "Runaway" from alt-rockers the Yeah Yeah Yeahs closing out the April 20 epi of Gossip Girl.

The haunting cut from their third, recently released album, "It's Blitz," is sung with that eerie steadiness by perennial fashion muse and frontwoman Karen O (above). It was the perfect sonic backdrop for season 2's "Seder Anything" episode. The drama unfolded over a Passover meal served at queen bee Blair Waldorf's.

If for some reason, you haven't been glued to GG on a recent Monday night (Maybe you're grinding at a good spot? Cheering your team in the NBA Finals?), then you're missing some of the sharpest writing left on the little screen, not to mention the work of music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas; the show deserves a post of its own (stay tuned). Meanwhile, as long as you know the Gossip principals, it's easy to catch up.
xoxo, Black Girl Named Becky
