The Age of Dissonance

As soon as I heard the plucking strings, I knew this song was familar. Then it all came back: this song was in Marie Antoinette, the decadent and visually eye-popping Sofia Coppola movie. The soundtrack to this movie is amazing. The song in question here is Hong Kong Garden by Siouxsie and the Banshees. It perfectly suited the opening to Gossip Girl's Age of Innocence-themed episode: there were lace gloves and fancy dresses. Well done, Gossip Girl. Clever and delicious and ridiculous per usual.
