Saul Williams posted a new song called “Explain My Heart” earlier today. The song is from his upcoming Volcanic Sunlight, and it’s tribal-beat driven, rocking, and punctuated by a few bit of spoken word (but not annoyingly like what people usually mean when they say “spoken word” — you know what I mean by this). You […]

Dreaming as the summer dies
Everyone knows how much Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin means to me (a little too much, maybe), so it´s a pleasure for me to find that their latest “Let It Sway” will be released on August 17th via Polyvinyl. In line with talking about travel, this record took the guys across the US to record with Chris Walla and to find several other ladies to write songs about.

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 […]

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 […]

Amanda Palmer reacts to justice (as to everything) with exuberant Twittering
Yesterday, Amanda Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls and also of a kind of brilliant solo album and recent collaboration with Jason Webley called Evelyn Evelyn) led an aggressive, Mel-Gibsoned Twitter campaign to make a big announcement: after several years of imbroglio with the less than supportive Road Runner Records, she has finally been dropped from […]

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 […]

Brother
This is a particularly biased post, but it’s long overdue. For the past ten years, my brother Paul has been performing under the name Quiet River High. I have had his music in my head for the better part of my life; I remember his first guitar, a rusted Stratocaster my dad found in a […]

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 […]
