Because you know I love drama, and YouTube clips — why else did I spend an unmentionable amount of minutes watching Coco T’s channel last night? But Coco doesn’t really make music that much, so let’s post something else — here’s this video from cute-as-buttons English cabaret duo Bitter Ruin. They’ve started posting some Christmas posts […]

New Saul Williams song: “Explain My Heart”
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 […]

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 […]

Japan’s First Ladies of Pop
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
