obviously this is the dumbest shit ever and it is designed to make any music lover so angry it gives them permanent brain damage. but also: MOST NORMIES ONLY WANT TO LISTEN TO THE SAME 12 SONGS ON REPEAT FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. they don’t want new music! they want mr brightside, again!

deeply annoying that creative breakthroughs don’t come on schedule from direct work but from things like “open-ended conversations with interesting people” and “doing nothing”

The “problem” with being in a band and performance art school at the same time is that I have even more opportunities than I normally do to be like “surely this objectively preposterous article of clothing will come in handy someday”

MAGIC HAPPENS WHEN… YOU LET GO OF FEARa really sick picture that someone (i think it was hal?) snapped from a recent petsitter gig at mr. smalls. guitarist wearing a black jumpsuit with mesh sleeves, and bassist wearing a sheer white dress are playing white instruments. the photo is taken on film, and it has some interesting artifacts

was carrying my bassist’s amp out after the gig last night and a stranger on the street pointed at it and said, “wow! is that karaoke?”… incredible. baffling. love the northside

i don’t know how to make it any more clear that “petsitter” does not have a space in it. it is just one word. that is the name of the band. everyone who spelled it “Pet Sitter” has been very wrong, and yet we will continue to let this behavior slide without retribution. thank u 4 listening

tomodachi life is such an important videogame because it allows me to create a world where my bassist, my dog, my bassist’s 1 year old daughter, and the dudes from nirvanna the band the show can all hang out together and drink cigarettes. folks, the dream is alive ✨✨✨

all i have ever wanted is to make you feel like you are walking into the bronze from buffy the vampire slayer ✨✨
Anyway. I showed up on a Wednesday just after the show started because I live on the other side of town and Pittsburgh is a logistical nightmare at best and labyrinthian cosmic punishment at worst. And with the NFL Draft coming up, everything is, in fact, worse. First act up was Petsitter, a dreamy ’90s alt rock group from town that felt a lot like Mazzy Star’s tougher side. Good start—I love walking into a venue and feeling like I’m at The Bronze from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Petsitter also had really cute handmade keychains for sale at their table. Everyone should be making adorable things to attach to their purses.

new single out on bandcamp today ✨ happy solstice petsitter.bandcamp.com/track/december
cropped version of the album art for the single “december” by jules page. the first post got labeled “explicit content” so i altered the art so it won’t get filtered out of people’s feeds, doubtless preventing all dozen of the people on here from learning about my music

the art is a photo of a nude woman kneeling in front of window with palms open, facing away from the camera. the picture is in faded sepia. it is zoomed in so you can’t see her butt

you guys ever try to tell someone about that one kurt vile song and then suddenly you actually hear yourself say the words “pretty pimpin”? like you can go ahead and try to explain that is genuinely a great song, title aside, but honestly you cannot come back from that moment
