In the first episode of "NYC Prep," seniors Jessie and PC establish themselves as the King and Queen of the NYC prep school scene.

Jessie isn’t quite sure if she wants to be with PC, but definitely doesn’t want anyone else to have him either! Camille is the prim and proper prep school junior, but is her obsession with Harvard killing her social life? Further uptown, prep school junior Kelli is living the dream with her own apartment in New York City, which means plenty of nights out. While dining with friends, Kelli runs into sophomore Sebastian who has a serious playboy reputation, and Kelli finds herself falling under his spell. Meanwhile, public school student Taylor enters the mix and sees Sebastian as her ticket into the tight knit prep school scene.

[music] David Nail - Red Light

"Missouri's David Nail has been releasing solid, no-frills country music since 2002. He's blessed with a confident vocal style that gives a little heartland sincerity to his poetic examinations of the day-to-day. Red Light is a perfect example of his charms; instead of launching into a road-rage diatribe when stuck at a stoplight, Nail finds the simplicity and beauty of those passing by, crossing the street, and otherwise involved in this ritual. Granted, his whole world outside of this street corner is crashing down around him, but still - it's a nice image." -- iTunes Store

[music] Polbo - Te Quiero Mucho

"Polbo's self-titled debut was nominated for a Latin GRAMMY® in 2006. The album was a refreshingly hard-rocking effort that alternated between '60s rock riffs and good-time jangling roots-rock. Now Polbo's back with Limonada, and the hooks are pushed even farther out in front. ">Te Quiero Mucho is a riotous singalong that keeps the British Invasion influences on the band's sleeves, but also shows a quirky angularity that gives Polbo a sound that's hard to define yet easy to remember." -- iTunes Store

[music] Matias Aguayo - Bo Jack

"Former Closer Musik maestro Matias Aguayo is responsible for this whimsical, jumpy creation. The electronic drumming provides an '80s electro feel, while captivating, slurred vocals (reminiscent of I Want Candy) — and sounds panning from ear to ear — provide a slightly disorienting Doppler effect. Bo Jack will get the party started or keep it going." -- iTunes Store
