“No, what BYOP does isn’t exactly the most original thing in the world– watch out for rampant Yeah Yeah Yeahs comparison– but they do it with a flair and panache and enthusiasm that belies their youth.“

Mon June 19, 2006 at 1:23 pm…uh, I think you mean ZINE, dude. NashvilleZINE. Show a little respect.
Mon June 19, 2006 at 3:30 pmuntil the almighty ben folds resurrects the ZINE, may she rest in peace. :tear:
Mon June 19, 2006 at 7:47 pmi apologize for continuing this long dead thread. the most recent podcast is great…i especially liked the lone offical song.
Matthew: I hadn’t noticed your addendum there (or had noticed it, but actually thought it was from someone else at the time), but I stick to my guns here. As tiresome as the hypemachine is (and I’m sure we can all agree that shit was old a year ago), I’m even more tired of the shitmachine.
Every time this band is mentioned, people feel the need to reaffirm the fact that they don’t like the band.
-Did you hear that BYOP is on Conan?
-Oh, really? I don’t care for their music!
-Did you hear that Thurston Moore’s putting out BYOP’s record?
-How about that? Have I mentioned that I would rather listen to other bands?
-BYOP are on tour with Sonic Youth!
Tue June 20, 2006 at 11:06 am-I’m sorry, could we talk about my feelings?
With all this talk, you would think Theory 8 was trying to sign BYOP!
Tue June 20, 2006 at 1:15 pm“until the almighty ben folds…”
I hate to bring up the Rundgren thing again, but the “almighty” is a little hyperbolic…if not completely off base.
Wed June 21, 2006 at 1:35 amand, uh, oh ya, BYOP kicked ass on Conan…It kinda reminded me of the inebriated-deer-in-headlights vibe from The Replacements on SNL. It ruled.
Wed June 21, 2006 at 1:41 ammr folds is almighty.
Mon June 26, 2006 at 3:37 amgo back to “bawston” asshat.
go clean poop, shitring.
Mon June 26, 2006 at 4:30 pmoh, and while you’re cleaning poop you should read Rivers Cuomos’ “fondess for massage-parlor handjobs and internet porn…”, it’s really funny.
Mon June 26, 2006 at 4:40 pmhaha, i see your at GP.. see the picture of Dead Rosie Odonnell playing Ryan Sweeney in Ironhead?
Mon June 26, 2006 at 4:45 pmHOLY FUCK! What happened to that dude?!? He’s a good freind of mine but…seriously, what the fuck?!? Dude leaves for tour and turns into some goth retard? This has got to be another internet hoax.
Tue June 27, 2006 at 2:04 pmI think that’s a joke… I don’t think that’s really Sweeney, Sean. Internet Hoax indeed.
Tue June 27, 2006 at 8:05 pmWell, he’s proven in the past that he’ll wear make-up in a band. They’re playing Springwater on the 7th, so you can see for yourself.
Wed June 28, 2006 at 9:08 amCorrection: July 5th.

Be Your Own Pet made RollingStone’s top 5 Moments of Lollapalooza 2006. Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with their music, but rather the fact that Jemina barfed onstage.
