The May Girlpants Mix arrives on your hot little screen fashionably late, its due date being around the middle of the month. It wasn’t entirely my fault though. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to say this but Girlpants might be bought out by MTV2 [editor’s note: don’t you mean “sell out to…”?] and this […]

your pain’s been done/to perfection by everyone
I’ve been looking back on my uniformly excellent contributions to this site (where’s my raise, Ben?), and some things have occured to me. With a few exception, I write about two types of genres: clever alt-country and fem, indie folk/pop. Let me assure you, girlpantsters, that I enjoy a wide array of genre and style…I […]

Girlpants Interviews Peter and the Wolf!
You may remember Peter and the Wolf as a delightful story from your youth. Thing is, Peter (whose real name is Red Hunter) is all grown up now. He’s abandoned thematizing ducks with bassoons… or whatever the junk that was, and is currently making some of the most spellbinding indie folk around. You can check […]

the stars eat your body
Girlpants collective profit margin rose six percent this quarter, which means, YEP, bonuses for everyone! Niina splurged and got herself a personal chef. Apprently the guy cooks a mean, all-vegan sauteed bean thread dish and can quote T.S. Eliot on command. Not to be outdone, Ben got himself a secretary that looks like the chick […]

amid the ceaseless aroma of the eucalypti
Don’t let Niina’s bio pic fool you. Sure she’s a fun, Milton-lovin’ party girl and yea her posts bring some measure of resolve to a tired and strained girlpants family, but cross her on the wrong day and you’ll find a flaxen-haired She-Hulk ready to school you with the business end of her fist. This […]

“beautiful…and terrible”
When I first heard Wolf Parade I thought, “there’s nothing very remarkable going on here, keyboards over some shambolic Modest Mouseisms.” And ok–to borrow a phrase from my Kant-crazy friend Drew, that isn’t so bad “in and of itself,” but it seemed like the hype machine was rubbing itself a little raw with these guys. But […]

old angel midnight, staring you down
I’ve been meaning to post this for awhile but there have been some shenanigans around the girlpants hq. Joel keeps bringing ladies around the office, and I don’t what’s going on exactly, but all of the sudden Braid will start playing real loudly from his cubicle and I’ll hear muffled giggling. Anyway, via Gorilla Vs. […]

the truth of it echoed inexhaustibly
The other evening I was sitting around on the floor and decided that I like the Fruit Bats. A lot of times decisions like that are prompted by context, and the last time I heard that I was in Ben’s car. Thing is, the only stuff I like to listen to in Ben’s car is […]

Girlpants 2005 Top 10s–Mike
Ben told me I could write this in any tone I want, but since Joel has aggresively cornered the market with all the humor jokes and junk I’m feeling a bit adrift. I will say this though. Those dudes’ lists are a disgrace to the professional music writing profession and not simply because they both have My Morning Jacket on there, which is reprehensible and the musical equivalent of a warbly giraffe cooking chitlins, but because, and I didn’t want to say it in a public forum like this but I will because I have a certain committment to the truth, they have no heart and they have no balls.
