I Always Believed in Futures: Our Gpants April Mixpost

Joel posts this month’s steamy Girl­pants mix, fea­turing the like­nesses of pop­ular posters Ben, Jason, Niina and Mike (note: like­nesses sim­u­lated to 87%). Get ready to the­ma­tize and pre­ma­turely regret your future!

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 […]

when u were young: girlpants does your childhood

If you read the bios of our writers here at girl­pants, one of the things you’ll inevitably notice is that every single one of them spends an inor­di­nate amount of time dis­cussing the subject’s child­hood, gen­er­ally in fond if overly wacky terms. Mike was born under a bad sign in Death Valley; Ben had an […]

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, […]

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 […]

Girlpants’ Top Tens of 2006: Ben!!

Maaaybe you’ve been won­dering where we’ve been. Here’s the short answer: GPHQ got put under some kind of shady CDC quar­an­tine because Joel left a half-eaten banana sit­ting on his desk and it achieved a degree of low-level sen­tience. They just bar­ri­caded us in the office with the thing and told us to call them […]

How I Spent My Summer Vacation, by Ben Girlpants

There are a lot of up front protes­ta­tions to be made before pre­senting an all-time top what­ever list. If the list isn’t par­tic­u­larly gender-neutral (mine includes exactly one female vocalist), the writer is required to employ some dis­claimer to the effect that s/he likes plenty of female artists, it’s just that, you know, the world of […]

The May Girlpants Mix (Girls!)

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 has […]

compile this!: two compilations for a lazy wednesday

Note: some­times (and mostly because of me) Girl­pants gets down­right inces­tual. For instance, there’s a Pink Panzer show coming up on May 5th, and I’ll prob­ably do a more exten­sive post about that sooner or later. I don’t think it’s wrong to post about the band, even though two of its mem­bers are writers for […]

you may finally clap your hands together

Hand­claps. Think of all your favorite albums. Aren’t there hand­claps on at least one song? Think hard. Yeah, that’s what I thought. And now you don’t have to go a-searching for your favorite hand­clap tunes ever ever again: that’s right, the intrepid grill­pants team of pop sleuths and pin­heads takes care of you once again. […]
