"Omfgg – Original Music Featured On Gossip Girl No. 1" arrives digitally today, September 2nd – one day after the hugely anticipated Season 2 premiere of Gossip Girl. The soundtrack will then arrive in stores everywhere on October 28th.

Gossip Girl follows series creators Josh Schwartz & Stephanie Savage's previous smash drama, The O.C., which was widely regarded for granting mainstream exposure to the work of such modern rock icons as Death Cab for Cutie, the Killers, and Modest Mouse. Compiled by The O.C.'s music supervisor extraordinaire Alexandra Patsavas (Chuck, Mad Men), "Omfgg – Original Music Featured On Gossip Girl No. 1" gathers together a remarkable selection of forward-thinking young bands, such as Crystal Castles, Oppenheimer, and the Teenagers. Among the soundtrack's many highlights is a booming cover of Siouxsie & the Banshees' classic "Cities In Dust," performed by the one-and-only Junkie XL.

Of course, it wouldn't be a true Gossip Girl soundtrack without some of NYC's best and brightest. Among the New Yorkers represented are the Pierces and the Strokes' Albert Hammond Jr. What's more, the album features an early version of the Virgins' "One Week of Danger," originally found on the acclaimed Big Apple-based band's now-impossible-to-find self-released EP. All songs on "Omfgg – Original Music Featured On Gossip Girl No. 1" were initially featured throughout the breakthrough first season of Gossip Girl.

The soundtrack's release also sees the launch of the all-new www.OMFGG.com, a site devoted to the music featured on Gossip Girl. Utilizing the NING social networking platform, fans of "OMFGG" can log in and create their own profiles, chat with other fans, watch exclusive videos from bands featured on the soundtrack, stream songs, and more.
