Girls Names came at a good time: just when all these “girl” bands were getting stale, we get another girl band worth our ears.

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.

pushed over the brink
I stirred. I was not certain what had awoken me. Even with awareness returning to me, I could feel something sapping my energy and my strength. Sucking the very life out of me. With a cry of rage, I forced myself to my feet, shaking off the last of the feeling of lethargy. I took […]

Proud Sponsors of Pepsi
Mas y Mas were introduced to me by a certain ex-waitress-at-a-strip-club on a recent jaunt down to Richmond. Let me set the scene: walking to the gas station for cigarettes you might see a dude sitting on his porch blowing on his digeridoo (thusly named Digeridude), too many cute girls riding bikes to count, and […]

Jeff Mangum, the Chris Knox Benefit
This is a shorty post, but I wanted to bring your attention to this video — last week, loads of brilliant musical acts got together for the purposes of fundraising for Chris Knox. Overall, it seemed that Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel was the draw of the evening, but the fundraiser itself was a huge […]

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). […]

Magic Mang
I recently had the good fortune to see post-Postal Service indie synth whatever-core band Magic Man, kicking ass in an overcast, early time slot of a certain Festival of Springtime Abandon. Sorta hometown heroes that they were, they played their hearts out for handful of their goofy, adoring college kid fans, and watching them it […]

Minor Works
Our pal Joel covers some distance between the last few J. Tillman records: “somewhere in that long walk, Tillman got spooked, his voice etherealized and the grandeur he found in his travels materialized before him in a sparkling vista.” Quite refreshing, not unlike those soda pop commercials we’ve been hearin’ about.

More Love, Less Paranoia—New Amerykah Part 2: Return of the Ankh
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 […]

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 […]
