Sonic Youth made their surreal appearance on last night’s episode of “Gossip Girl.” Unfortunately, their acoustic rendition of “Starpower” is hampered by the actors’ dialogue. At least Kim Gordon makes a surprising cameo as a minister.

Also, Grizzly Bear performed their song “Two Weeks” on “The Tonight Show.” I hope Conan continues to showcase talented bands.

In other news, Tom Waits is releasing a new live album full of cuts from his recent Glitter and Doom tour. Check out his new website to download some free tracks off the album.
