In an age when “Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah! Roma-Roma-ma-ah! Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!” has become an iconic watchword, you have no choice but to commence eyeroll sequence when some dunderhead flails his arms and cries, “I DON’T SPEAK JAPANESE AND AM INCAPABLE OF APPRECIATING SOLID MELODIES, IMPRESSIVE VISUALS, AND GENERAL KICK-ASSERY.” Now more than ever, pop is about the importance of […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Best Worst Record Review of All Time; 10.0, Best New Video
For those of us who are in the above-25 age bracket, it’s old news that Pitchfork, that venerable bastion of hipster trendsetting and mediocre prose, was once downright terrible. Unarguably, inexcusably so. Probably every homegrown publication has these embarrassing teething problems, but in Pitchfork’s case this Terrible Epoch coincides neatly with the time when Founder and […]

Loscil – Endless Falls
Since 1999, Loscil (aka Scott Morgan) has been making the kind of dreamy, pleasantly rain-soaked ambient music that might draw immediate comparisons to genre greats like Eluvium, Biosphere, and Stars of the Lid. Drones, field recordings, and looped, nearly subliminal percussion all figure into Loscil’s soundscapes—an ideal mélange, I’ve found, for writing and writing, among […]

Kate Miller-Heidke, Joe’s Pub 3-15-2010
On Monday, March 15th 2010, I found myself in the intimate front lobby of New York venue Joe’s Pub (4th Avenue between 7th and 8th Street, New York), standing around awkwardly bumping into patrons on the top tier of the jazz club-y space with my media juggernaut BFF Rohin. He did his best to remain […]

Roisin Murphy’s Lobster Dishes
Sometimes, the Acme Cake Company-scented winds are blowing just right near Girlpants’s Bushwick offices; on those days, it is possible to spot the multicolored scarves of media mogul Rohin Guha billowing down the avenue as he arrives bearing sweet, sweet Ritter Sport Butter Biscuit and pop tidings almost equally as sugary. Recently, Rohin showed up […]

friday filler fun
Well, we were supposed to have a new mix up for you by now, but, well… Mike left the coffee pot on and when it died a fiery death in the wee hours of the morning, no one knew how to cope. I mean, the fire put itself out and no one was hurt—or at […]
