Yesterday, Amanda Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls and also of a kind of brilliant solo album and recent collaboration with Jason Webley called Evelyn Evelyn) led an aggressive, Mel-Gibsoned Twitter campaign to make a big announcement: after several years of imbroglio with the less than supportive Road Runner Records, she has finally been dropped from […]

Chris Knox benefit show, Jeff Mangum, Yo La Tengo etc
Last year, New Zealand musician Chris Knox (of Tall Dwarfs fame) suffered a series of debilitating strokes. You have doubtless heard about the benefit album, which features an wide catalogue of artists like Will Oldham, Jay Reatard, and Girlpants favorites the Mountain Goats, all covering songs from Knox’s impressive back catalogue. When Pitchfork announced there […]

Kate Miller-Heidke, Joe’s Pub 3-15-2010
On Monday, March 15th 2010, I found myself in the intimate front lobby of New York venue Joe’s Pub (4th Avenue between 7th and 8th Street, New York), standing around awkwardly bumping into patrons on the top tier of the jazz club-y space with my media juggernaut BFF Rohin. He did his best to remain […]

Roisin Murphy’s Lobster Dishes
Sometimes, the Acme Cake Company-scented winds are blowing just right near Girlpants’s Bushwick offices; on those days, it is possible to spot the multicolored scarves of media mogul Rohin Guha billowing down the avenue as he arrives bearing sweet, sweet Ritter Sport Butter Biscuit and pop tidings almost equally as sugary. Recently, Rohin showed up […]

list & listlessness: an american journey
There’s been something wicked and deadly in the New York air that’s making me listen to Americana. I’ve near worn out my copy of Emmylou Harris’s Thirteen on the record player, and I’ve been outfitting myself in genuine honest-to-god colors like red and blue and white. I’m not sure what’s going on there, but I think it’s […]

Our Triumphant Return, or: From Girlpants, with Love
It wouldn’t be hyperbolic to say we’ve had some shakeups at the Girlpants offices. When I say offices, I mean offices: we had some pretty nice ones, but we lost them in an ill-considered card game that big time hustlers Joel and Mike initiated against a rival blogful of poker-shark web journalists. Then several hard, […]

…in which i will be commenting very slowly about the music i have enjoyed so far in the summer (part 2)
Well, it’s 95 degrees here in the Newest of Yorks, but weather.com assures me it “feels like 100,” so rest assured that hauling my dryer-hot girlpants-and-other-laundry up the hill several blocks back home was extra special this afternoon. And rest also assured that I wished I had a martini afterward. But I didn’t — sadly, […]

…in which i will be commenting very slowly about the music i have enjoyed so far in the summer (part 1)
Via stereogum, the new Rasputina video — featuring weird paperdolls of Mary Shelley and Frankenstein, dancing moodily around a room because they are unable, due to ill weather, to go outside and play. The song, “1816, the Year Without A Summer” is very good, and appropriately apocalyptic for these weird-weather days. The video is made by […]

armed with calculator and ruler, baby
Dudes, sorry I was gone so long. I think I’m a bit blogrusty, actually. Help me out with this: just understand. And then there’s this: since it’s May, I’ve been listening to happy music. I’ve torn my eyes away from the sawed-off New York skyline and I’ve fixed it on Union Square’s cooing pigeons and […]
