Well, it’s been several weeks since this album came out to mostly positive or even glowing reactions. So in the place of focusing on the already well-covered arc of New Amerykah Pt. II, I will don my Girlpants Track Glasses™ – recently recovered from Jason’s dangerous clutches (I had to crawl through a really long […]

seein’ nothin’ but blue and gray
Nostalgia for a place I’ve never been. Regret over the end of a relationship that I was never in. Ever had a film, book, or song give you that feeling? It’s a rare thing, disconcerting in a way that’s difficult to define, yet a feeling I’ll always seek again. It’s hard to explain, but let me try, […]

BLOG HYPE
Some short Saturday jams – I’m branching out a bit from my regular listening patterns. There are days during which I feel like I’m broke on music, and others when my appetite (if this analogy is to be stomached) seems insatiable. Otherwise I feel like I’m entirely predictable in what I like and what I […]

oh god how did i get here
Last Tuesday, Dum Dum Girls released their first full-length, I Will Be, and I’ve been playing it ever since. They’ve got a touch of a lo-fi sound with fuzzy vocals and guitars, along with lazy-sounding surf-style beats and lyrics about love and longing that must be intentionally naïve — a combination that seems to be enjoying […]

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 […]

Rock Bottom
So I missed Total Bummer 2010 in Gainesville this weekend, and I’m a little sad all over myself. It really just slipped my mind. Now my days are staring at the ceiling, thinking it the surface of the sea above me. I like thinking about being underwater more than being underwater, and I appreciate songs […]

The Besnard Lakes Are the Subject of Our Latest Post
Have you ever read George R. R. Martin’s transcendent fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire? I don’t much go in for fantasy, but this one came highly recommended. After reading the first volume I remember telling Ben, our resident sci-fi geek, that I liked it but sort of wished the story had taken […]

you won’t remember a thing
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 […]
