Boner Social Scene

My Left Tit are nine bored, horny friends in Queens who decided to start a band. What other rea­sons do you need, really? At the moment, they’re less an actual “band” than a wad of inside jokes and fake back­sto­ries. But they’re casu­ally tal­ented and glee­fully vulgar, and beneath their smutty odes to dicks and queefs […]

Proud Sponsors of Pepsi

Mas y Mas were intro­duced to me by a cer­tain ex-waitress-at-a-strip-club on a recent jaunt down to Rich­mond. Let me set the scene: walking to the gas sta­tion for cig­a­rettes you might see a dude sit­ting on his porch blowing on his digeridoo (thusly named Digeridude), too many cute girls riding bikes to count, and […]

Magic Mang

I recently had the good for­tune to see post-Postal Ser­vice indie synth whatever-core band Magic Man, kicking ass in an over­cast, early time slot of a cer­tain Fes­tival of Spring­time Abandon. Sorta home­town heroes that they were, they played their hearts out for handful of their goofy, adoring col­lege kid fans, and watching them it […]

Emo in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction

At 19 I had an Adven­ture­land–style summer, working at a Barnie’s Coffee in the local mall—remember Barnie’s Coffee? The place charmed, in a free­wheeling, no-one-gives a shit kind of way. One co-worker was loud, hot, and reg­u­larly stole from the till so she could buy Oxys; another sold them to her. Not nearly as depraved, […]

The Besnard Lakes Are the Subject of Our Latest Post

Have you ever read George R. R. Martin’s tran­scen­dent fan­tasy series A Song of Ice and Fire? I don’t much go in for fan­tasy, but this one came highly rec­om­mended. After reading the first volume I remember telling Ben, our res­i­dent sci-fi geek, that I liked it but sort of wished the story had taken […]

water though it’s frozen

Truly, Joanna Newsom just don’t give a fucc, and all the non-musical details that accu­mu­late around her per­sona like so much space junk are actu­ally pretty inter­esting. Weird harp-toting Ren-Fair space cadet, but one who’s sort of a fashion plate? A babe, basi­cally, and one with a com­mand of lan­guage and meter so com­plete it […]

useless under the sun

Now that girl­pants is back up and run­ning we’re get­ting invited to all the good par­ties again. It’d be gauche to go into too much detail, but I will say that Ben and Joel vis­ited la Tour Eiffel together and Niina shot some­body with a revolver. And me? I’ve been ensconced in Lali Puna’s bangin forthcoming […]

Autumn Shade

With all the dis­man­tling of worker-benefits here at girl­pants, evil cigar-chomping mogul Ben came in and told me I had to write some­thing, then laughed until his belly shook. Have you ever seen a cor­pu­lent CEO try and fit into girl­pants? Strangely sub­lime. So, onwards. Autumn Shade, aside from being the best-worst fic­ti­tious Jade Tree […]

girlpants’ stuff you should maybe listen to from the last year or so: mike!!!(!!!)

So I’m just going to pre­tend that my patho­log­ical inability to meet girl­pants dead­lines has a cer­tain charm to it, that I’m the blog­ging equiv­a­lent of fash­ion­ably late. I’m pretty sure Ben wants to fire me but that cor­po­rate fat-cat is gonna have to go through the union first. Haha yea take that you corporate […]

your missives are wasted on me, boy

Hey girl­pants­ke­teers, long time no talk. There’s been some cor­po­rate restruc­turing going on (we now belong to a secret inter­na­tional cabal, so sweet), and one unfor­tu­nate side effect is that the staff has been flung to the far cor­ners of the earth. I think Niina is in Canada, com­posing the new Finnish national epic. Joel, […]
