Let me confess something. I tend to avoid popular bands. All else being equal, I’m pretty sure I would like a band less just because it is popular. I realize that sounds terrible, and no, it’s not to preserve my “hipster cred” or anything like that. Basically, I want to like bands that I can […]

Girlpants interviews Magenta Skycode!
There are some bands that I hear once and feel like I’ve been hearing my entire life. It’s as if I woke up one day and history had rewritten itself so that the band/album/song in question was always a part of my musical landscape. The first time I heard Magenta Skycode’s IIIII, I was sitting […]

Girlpants Interviews Peter and the Wolf!

Girlpants interviews The Capes!
So it turns out it’s pretty easy to get interviews with up-and-coming indie rock bands. Who knew? After using myspace for its intended purpose (no, not stalking that girl from 8th grade homeroom–the promotion of independent bands!) for perhaps the first time ever, I found I had interviews with both The Capes and Van She. […]

Hiplomacy, Filesharing, and the Brave New World of Media Distribution
This is an interview that I did yesterday with my friend Peter, who is a first-year grad student at MIT’s Comparative Media Studies program (CMS, for short). I’m the one being interviewed, but Peter has given me full permission to repost the conversation here. Since I’ve got little else to post at the moment and […]
