Hey guys. I’m really busy trying to write a book, but now and again I get the chance to read Twitter, and when I do it’s often 50 Cent’s hilarious updates (why is he dating Chelsea Handler?). But today South African hip hoppers Die Antwoord tweeted their new video, and I have to say “Evil […]

Amazing cover (mid-90s edition)
K so lately I’ve been loving the song “Your Woman” by White Town. The songwriter, Jyoti Mishra, said of the tune: “I was trying to write a pop song that had more than one perspective. Although it’s written in the first person the character behind that viewpoint isn’t necessarily what the casual listener would expect.” The gender […]

iggy pop, janelle monae and more: girlpants gets opinionated
It is with interest that I’ve been following this weird week (month) of bizarre endorsements – does it not seem like everyone is shilling for someone these days? Some are artistic collaborations, some are out-of-genre forays, some are fundraisers, and some are straight-up curious wtf moments (like when Bob Dylan teamed up with Victoria’s Secret). […]

The Best Worst Record Review of All Time; 10.0, Best New Video
For those of us who are in the above-25 age bracket, it’s old news that Pitchfork, that venerable bastion of hipster trendsetting and mediocre prose, was once downright terrible. Unarguably, inexcusably so. Probably every homegrown publication has these embarrassing teething problems, but in Pitchfork’s case this Terrible Epoch coincides neatly with the time when Founder and […]

friday filler fun
Well, we were supposed to have a new mix up for you by now, but, well… Mike left the coffee pot on and when it died a fiery death in the wee hours of the morning, no one knew how to cope. I mean, the fire put itself out and no one was hurt—or at […]

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 […]

“I wanted to give you disneyland”
All apologies to Niina, who I know is a fan, but I really don’t think Patrick Wolf has proved himself to be a terribly good musician. I also think he’s a particularly annoying human being–though I admit that’s an opinion based entirely on a couple of his emails and blog/message board posts. Some P. Wolf […]

Two Drink Mike (note: not our Mike–he can hold his liquor)
The other morning started out as a regular day at the MANpants office. I was eagerly waiting for my apple toaster strudel to finish crisping on the hood of the VW bus when suddenly I experienced a strange feeling–a feeling somewhere between divine intervention and my usual Monday morning fever dream. I felt the curious urge […]

Double Nepotism!
What’s this? Two posts in two days? Visions of a fully functional blog dance before my eyes! Today I’ve got something mildly self-serving for you guys–a collaboration between two boarders at Hipinion, hipster braintrust extraordinaire. Boarder #1 is Toaster aka Hari aka Robotville, an electronic folk act out of the UK. Boarder #2 is rollie […]
