Download: Sonic Youth "What a Waste"
Last night was the sixth season finale for The Gilmore Girls, and they ended on a high note for creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, who (with her executive producer husband Daniel Palladino,) is saying goodbye to the show. While I can't say I was a fan, their attention to music on the show cannot be denied, and it will be interesting to see if the new braintrust continues their dedication to music. Not only did they have a lot of music on the show, they also casted musicians in recurring roles. Sebastian Bach, Sam Phillips and Grant Lee Phillips all had recurring roles, but it was GL Phillips' role as local troubador that had a lot to do with last night's extravaganza. 
Phillips' character gets discovered by Neil Young and is picked up to open on his tour, so all these musical acts flood the fictional town of Stars Hollow, CT, to get discovered next. Appearing last night were Sonic Youth, Joe Pernice, Yo La Tengo, Sparks, and Sam Phillips. Sonic Youth played "Wasted Again" from their new album Rather Ripped (due in June,) and featured Thurston and Kim's daughter Coco on bass. Coco's so cute!tags: playlist, television, soundtrack, rhapsody, gilmore girls, sonic youth, grant lee phillips, sam phillips, joe pernice, yo la tengo, sparks

I loved this so much! It was the best, but I did NOT like the last scene. GASP! What was she thinking? I just pray they don't go all Friends and have Luke show up and be ready to marry her the next morning like they did with the "We were on a break" thing with Ross and Rachel.
(Yup, I watch too much TV)
Fantastic show,In last scene of this show Lorelai and Rory are seated at Luke's Diner for an early breakfast before Rory must leave for her first job after graduating from Yale.Really gr8 scene.I watched Gilmore Girls Episodes for a few years and i loved it!!
