When one of my old college colleagues hit me up a few weeks back about DWHY he nonchalantly said, “He looks like he just walked off the set of Gossip Girl.” I immediately laughed. Sure, he mentioned that he was one of the most refreshing lyricists he has heard in a long time but it was something about picturing a rapper of any caliber proudly toting the effortless debonair Chuck Bass swag juxtaposed with Chuck D that caught my attention. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that I am a devout Gossip Girl viewer and it also doesn’t hurt that my introduction to DWHY is over Childish Gambino‘s “Freaks and Geeks” beat. Now, I’m not a great rap analyst so I won’t analyze this joint for you. All I’ll say is: watch the video and watch out for those punchlines.

Everyone has guilty pleasures, but I have a guilty addiction. I’m completely obsessed with “Gossip Girl”. The dramatic story paired with the dramatic outfits are a great combination to keep me at bay on a Monday night. Little did I know that my guilty addiction would put me onto a band helmed as the new-age The Cure by listeners and praised as the band to watch by B.B.C. and Rolling Stone. It’s the New York-based indie band, The Drums. Their breakthrough, “Down By The Water” narrated the drama in that faithful “Gossip Girl” episode and instead of the storyline, I was fixated with who it was I was listening to. Once I hit the web, I was shocked to find their self-titled record is filled with eclectic, pop diddies that nod to 50′s doo-wop to 80′s synth rock. It’s a beautiful collage of eras and love songs that you can’t help but be addicted to. I caught up with Jonny Pierce of The Drums to only further intensify my addiction with this revealing Q&A.
