Buzz In: What TV Shows Have the Best Music?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:30:17 PDT

Earlier this week, I mentioned Alexandra Patsavas. (She's the music supervisor from Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl, and The O.C., and she also worked on the New Moon soundtrack.) She's one of the best in the biz at picking out the perfect song - thanks to her, I still think of that scene on The O.C. when Marissa shoots Trey whenever I hear Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek."

Bringing up Patsavas got me thinking about all the great music on TV. I admittedly own a Grey's soundtrack - OK, or two - and I'm always jotting down the names of the artists at the bottom ticker when I'm watching The Hills or The City. It's a great way to find little gems to download that might not pass my radar otherwise. So, I'd like to the pose this question to you: What TV show do you think has the best tunes?

(P.S. If you're a music lover, you might want to think about adding yourself to the Music Review Group in BuzzSugar Community!)

On the Market: Caleb Nichol and Julie Cooper's Malibu Manse

CasaSugar — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:00:10 PDT

Just because Josh Schwartz turned your eyes to Gossip Girl doesn't mean you don't still have a soft spot in your hearts for The O.C. Admit it. You recognize this house, don't you? You spotted it on many a weeknight as the Newport Beach mansion that Caleb Nichol, grandfather of Seth Cohen, gave to his new wife Julie Cooper, mother of Marisa Cooper, as a wedding gift. In reality, the spread is in Malibu, CA, but it still boasts an ocean view, as it's located just a shake of lamb's tail away from the Pacific Coast Highway - and it's for sale. Hear more about the property when you

For those of you who ever dreamed of emulating the soap opera-style lives of the young O.C. characters, your chance is now. This expansive seven-bedroom, 10-bath pad overlooking Paradise Cove with 1.7 acres lushly landscaped grounds is on the market for $6.9 million. Unlike the Cooper-Nichol clan, if you'd like to keep your family ties free of conflict, you can foster them in a wealth of formal living spaces and family areas with expansive decks, as well as in the full guest house and exquisite pool and spa. But, don't worry, if you need privacy, you can still sneak off to pop pills and plan your next marriage in one of the luxurious bedrooom suites. Unfortunately, in reality, the Cohen house is actually about 11 miles away - no sneaking into Ryan's pool house. Check out the listing and photos here.

OMFG! A Gossip Girl Soundtrack: Duh

BuzzSugar — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:30:45 PDT

My question is: What took them so long? I kid, but honestly, you knew a Gossip Girl soundtrack had to be coming because a) that's what good teen dramas do, and b) the show is as good at music as it is at one-liners.

So, the first Gossip Girl soundtrack has been compiled by The O.C.'s former music supervisor, Alexandra Patsavas (you know how I feel about her). OMFGG - Original Music Featured on Gossip Girl No. 1's 13 tracks will hit record store shelves near you on Oct. 28, and the album's also available online right now. It's generally a pretty good overview of the show's music, though it doesn't have the memorable "U.R.A. Fever," the song that's playing when Serena admits to murder.

The good folks of GG are also launching an entire site devoted to music on the show. I'm pretty excited for that site myself, because I rarely watch an episode without doing some searching for lyrics I heard.

Are you on your way to download the soundtrack? Are you excited for the new music site? I've got the track list after the jump - and super bonus Buzz respect and admiration goes to anyone who can figure out which song was played in which OMG moment last season. To check it out, just

FabSugar — Thu, 17 May 2007 10:47:09 PDT

I hope you have been enjoying our O.C. wardrobe tribute posts! Alas, all good things come to an end, as did The O.C. after a mere four seasons. Now I have to admit I totally lost interest after Marissa died in Season 3. Therefore I can't deliver a recap of the final season, but someone in another Sugar pod can! I did tune in a few times, but I just wasn't feeling it anymore. Did you all feel the same way? Nevertheless, with Marissa out of the picture, we had Taylor and Kaitlin wearing some cute duds for us to marvel at. Here is our fashion series finale.

Edun 'Casey' Blouse, $62.
Tod's Black Leather 'Carey' Large Satchel, $2,000.

I Want This Wardrobe: The O.C., Season 3

FabSugar — Wed, 16 May 2007 11:02:22 PDT

Season Three of The O.C. was the pinnacle for the show. Marissa gets kicked out of school for her shooting incident from Season Two, she then eventually goes off the deep end and turns to drugs & alcohol and relations with bad boy, Volchok. Kristin is recovering from her bouts with the bottle while Julie falls in love with Summer's dad - go figure. Adorable little blondie Anna & slightly annoying, but somewhat endearing, Taylor add comic relief. We re-meet Marissa's quickly grown up sassy little sis, Kaitlin. Also, Summer's style really evolves and she shows us her full beauty potential. All of this leading up to the foursome graduating, all from Harbor (yay!). Then, just when we thought they were home free and off to college, Marissa meets the ultimate doom and dies in a car accident. I for one, was totally crushed. On to the clothes, for which there were many cute ones this season!

Season Three

Rebecca Beeson Black Puff Short Sleeve Pleated T-Shirt, $35.

FabSugar — Tue, 15 May 2007 11:03:33 PDT

Now we are venturing into my favorite season of The O.C. - Season Two. If I recall correctly, this was when things got really heated & sparks were flying between both Marissa & Ryan and Summer & Seth. By the end of the season, Kirstin was an alcoholic, Caleb R.I.P. and Marissa got a hold of a gun and shot you know who: the brother of her boyfriend! This was quite the action packed season.

I Want This Wardrobe: The O.C., Season 1

FabSugar — Mon, 14 May 2007 11:00:22 PDT

We thought with Summer right around the corner it would be fun to put together a wardrobe tribute for a guilty pleasure TV show that took place in a sublimely sunny part of the world: The O.C.. I for one was smitten by all the teen angst, with money, drama and the seemingly beautiful people. I wanted to hate Marissa for her unreal good looks and mood swings and Ryan for his violent temper and smoldering brow - but I just couldn't. And the parents were so cool, and beautiful too, albeit they had their own intriguing skeletons in their walk-in closets.

The O.C. set trends. Marissa inspired teenage, and er, twenty-somethings, to want to carry a Chanel handbag as their school book bag. Summer had a cute-as-a-button boho-California style that spawned my Marc by Marc Jacobs obsession and taught us all how to layer wisely. Kirsten and Julie had MILF written all over them. And, we all came to appreciate the cool dork in the Penguin polos: Seth. Without further ado...here is Season One. Stay tuned tomorrow for Season Two!

Season One

On Summer:
Charles Nolan Dotted Voile Blouse, $230.
Edun Monarch Bootcut Stretch Jeans, $150.
Jerome Dreyfuss Momo Disco Bag, $370.

On Marissa:
Old Navy Lace Trim Cami, $13.
J. Crew City-Fit Vintage Ripstop Cropped Cargos, $40.
