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, […]

Our Triumphant Return, or: From Girlpants, with Love

Ambient Week ’07–Day 4–Rameses III
Things are slowly thinning out here at GPHQ. There is a narrowing in the air. I notice that Mike has arranged all his pencils neatly on his desk, the first with its finely sharpened point pointing away from him, the second toward, him, the third away again, and so on. All placed neatly side by […]

wonder what the hell’s so amusing off-camera
Here at GPHQ we get a… substantial quantity of unsolicited musical submissions. Some are from labels and PR agencies, some are from artists who are going it alone, some are from friends of bands streetteaming the shit out of their best bros’ work. All of it is welcome, but let’s face it… lots of it […]

Nearly as much man-in-bearsuit as Nic Cage in The Wicker Man
Well, here’s the video for the first single from what will (unless this is the best year for music in a long, long time) most likely be one of my favorite records of the year: of Montréal’s Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? The song’s called “Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse,” and the video is […]

friday live with the internet archive
Until today, I mainly used the Internet Archive for its Wayback Machine, a magical portal to the hilariously badly designed world of the internet circa the late 90s. Today, I discovered that the site has way, way more to offer the erstwhile music blogger/enthusiast. Specifically, it’s got a holy shitton of live gigs in FLAC/Vorbis/MP3 […]

pardon the obviousness, but I needed a lead-in:
Once you’ve spent enough time with music, it becomes pretty easy to reduce new bands to a combination of existing sounds. It’s a game most music reviewers and bloggers play in most every article. It’s what most readers look for in the reviews and posts. Who wants to listen to some dude explain how his […]

Girlpants interviews Magenta Skycode!
There are some bands that I hear once and feel like I’ve been hearing my entire life. It’s as if I woke up one day and history had rewritten itself so that the band/album/song in question was always a part of my musical landscape. The first time I heard Magenta Skycode’s IIIII, I was sitting […]

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 […]

xinlisupreme will probably melt your face off (in a good way)
Lately I’ve been listening to little else but noise, punk, and black metal. This has has been the cause of some consternation around the GPHQ: Niina erected some of those little waffle-shaped foam sound barriers around my cubicle, Mike keeps dropping by and peering over them to “casually” suggest I use headphones, and I think […]

Girlpants interviews The Capes!
So it turns out it’s pretty easy to get interviews with up-and-coming indie rock bands. Who knew? After using myspace for its intended purpose (no, not stalking that girl from 8th grade homeroom–the promotion of independent bands!) for perhaps the first time ever, I found I had interviews with both The Capes and Van She. […]
