Newsflash: Unless you live in Portland or some other possibly mythical “cool” and “rainy” place, right now it’s hot and summer. So let’s listen to music and also read about it instead of going to Coney Island and staring at weirdoes (or busting open a fire hydrant and dousing our body parts in it/making our […]

Songs of Córdoba, Songs of Madrid
Forget the bells of La Giralda (I have), here’s the real music of Spain: from Russian Red to the sextastic sounds of Ke$ha, the tunes of a different world are tracked down and killed with precise blows.

Gaijinfest 2010: Domo Arigato, Mister J-Rocko
Stereotypes about Japanese culture persist in the Western consciousness, in spite, or perhaps as a result of our increased exposure to it. Blogs, magazines, and TV shows love to say, “OH LOOK AT HOW WEIRD AND FUCKED UP JAPAN IS,” and that’s because people who don’t live in Japan only want to see only the […]

Japan’s First Ladies of Pop
In an age when “Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah! Roma-Roma-ma-ah! Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!” has become an iconic watchword, you have no choice but to commence eyeroll sequence when some dunderhead flails his arms and cries, “I DON’T SPEAK JAPANESE AND AM INCAPABLE OF APPRECIATING SOLID MELODIES, IMPRESSIVE VISUALS, AND GENERAL KICK-ASSERY.” Now more than ever, pop is about the importance of […]

Don’t Worry About the Future — Joel’s 2009 Mix
I’m taking the Ben approach to my post this week and doing a recap of some underrated hits from “the past”: up first, my most recent times, ’09. Since I have to show some discretion, a bunch of good tunes got cut here – I really can’t justify putting anything from Explorers or Second Family […]

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 […]

David W’s Top 20 Techno Traxxx of 2007 (Part Two: 01–10)
This is a much-delayed continuation of the previous post here on Girlpants. Sorry for the delay. I won’t waste any time getting to the tunes. –Ben 10. Carsten Jost — “Love” [Dial] “Carsten Jost actually co-runs the Dial label with Lawrence. To be honest, I wasn’t all that wise to this sound a few years […]

David W’s Top 20 Techno Traxxx of 2007 (Part One: 11–20)
Though I know basically nothing about dance music, it seems that I’m the one who ends up posting about it most here at Gigglepants. Sure, most of it is indie-safe electronic (cf. Junior Boys, DJ Mehdi, Booka Shade) and ever-so-played out poppy IDM (Aarktica, Hrvatski). Sometimes we venture a little bit closer to the big, […]

Gpants Mix of the Year Award Goes To: Joel!
Hey there everyone, we made it! I’d love to stick around and chat, but it’s pretty cramped here in the men’s bathroom. I actually had to run the ethernet cable into the women’s toilet station (they got ports under their sit-n-pees) and I’m afraid some stately man of cruel demeanor will stomp and smash my […]
