"Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino is going out on a high note, with her last episode for the WB series filled with her musical favorites.

"It might be the coolest thing we've ever done," Sherman-Palladino said of Tuesday's season finale featuring the "eclectic" musicians she admires and lured to the show.

"We've put together our own Gilmorepalooza," added her husband, Daniel Palladino, a fellow executive producer on the series.

The couple said last month they were leaving the comedy-drama after failing to reach agreement on a new studio contract. Dave Rosenthal, a writer and producer on the show, will be in charge when it makes its expected move to the new CW network, the result of a WB-UPN merger.

Among the artists featured on the sixth-season finale are Sonic Youth, Sam Phillips, Yo La Tengo, Sparks and Joe Pernice.

They've flocked to Stars Hollow, the fictional town where "Gilmore Girls" is set, after hearing that the town troubadour (Grant-Lee Phillips) was discovered by Neil Young's manager.

"We're playing our own reality that there's an East Coast troubadour community, people who play music on street corners," said Daniel Palladino.
