Your selections for Gossip Girl have become basically my playlist. I mean, you taught me about Warpaint. I can’t thank you enough.Aren't they great? They're so great.It's like you know the sound, you know what's hot. That's hard to do.I'm not as concerned about that as you'd think. I think that really we get exposed to so much music. Really excellent stuff is very self-evident. It really is, especially when you listen to so much. I'm sure you do the same thing for your job and you know, great bands really stick out. Then they become career bands…not so interesting to watch. Like brand new bands that become the sounds of the time.Well, I can't listen to B.o.B.'s “Ghost In The Machine” without thinking about Paris and Blair driving by Chuck Bass in a limo. Or Sia's “I'm In Here” without thinking of them meeting in France again. You know, the visuals heavily play into it too, and your placing of the music in those visuals helps an artist greatly.I think, though, that the artists help… I mean, I think that it's a beautiful… I think everything sort of works for a reason and I think the scenes are enhanced by the right songs, and as bands have definitely had a shift in their feeling about licensing. When I started, it was very tough to sort of convince a band that their song was going to be used respectfully – that it wasn't going to erode any of their cred – and all that. It was a different time, and album sales were such that it supported in demand, and that's changed. I think we have so much access to such good music because bands are open to it. And also because the producers use the music so well and with such respect.
