Ahh Chuck Bass. Some of my favorite comments on the NY Mag blog raise the issue – does anyone in this show even go to school anymore!? – wish this was my life. That being said, there are a few gems from recent episodes and some we’ve already featured on this blog, including The XX and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.

More songs worth knowing: The National ‘Gospel’, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros ‘Janglin’, The XX ‘Crystalized’

MGMT

MGMT’s Congratulations leaked (that was quick!) and now they are streaming the entire album from their wack website. Having taken a quick listen, here’s what I think – I think they ditched a good producer for a worse one, I think they half-assed the album, and I think there are two good songs worth listening too:

Portugal. The Man

This listener friendly band released yet another easy on the ears album. This is the kind of music that no matter who I play it to, they tend to love it.

‘Some Men’ ’60 Years’

Wye Oak

Wye Oak – what can I say? They represent Baltimore, use plenty of strings, and made my 2009 top ten albums list. They recently released their EP My Neighbor/My Creator. Aside from the just weird remix of ‘That I Do’, here are some excellent songs. I stand by this band

‘I Hope You Die’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoyUWTpkcXI

‘My Creator’
