Pushing Drugs Be Your Own Pet

Today my BYOP photos were used on Pitchfork

Not on the Guestlist's point of references for point of reference Be Your Own Pet

Favorite live reviews:
Serving as an introduction:
The Swish Blog: Be Your Own PET.. plus The Rakes Vid!

In October 2005 I was supposed to photograph them with sock puppets and hang at their sound check upon return to Glasgow after a week visiting Portland, but then they decided to go sight seeing with their parents. Test Icicles were playing the same night with the Rakes on the Gonzo tour, so I didn't get to see their set opening for the Kills on that tour.(though BYOP came down to the Barfly after their set at which point Jonas was promptly attacked by every female at the bar)
Serving as a reminder of the excitement I missed:
Take Your Medicine: >148: The Kills/ Be Your Own Pet/ Covers/ Paddingtons

Serving as reminder to watch out when crossing paths with Jemina and that they are never off the internet reading about themselves (see the comments on the post) (learned both the hard way in March):
The Modern Age: Teenage Riot: Be Your Own Pet

Backlash is always fun even when it's unintential, therefore making it not really backlash, but. . .:
Items sechs und zwei (6 and 2)
Gawker: Blue States Lose

Randomness:
How all did they come up with that there name of theirs?
FaceCulture: Jemina Pearl and Jonas Stein

Which ex-member is vegetarian, allergic to cats and dogs, and wrote all the lyrics to Damn Damn leash?
Peta2: Man’s Best Friend Is Be Your Own Pet
(Yes it's obvious, but pretend it could be either Jake or Jamin)

6 degrees of releasing a record:
Single 'Damn Damn Leash' out on Rough Trade in UK
Single 'Fire Department' out on XL in UK, stick with them
Co-release 'Let's Get Sandy' single on Infinity Cat
and Steve Aoki's Dim Mak in US
Then mix in a US full length on Ecstatic Peace (division on Universal)

Did you know they HATE when Jemina's infamous throw-up/T-shirt incident is mentioned in the press?

My FULL Don't Party feature is soon to follow. Interview+photos
