Be Your Own Pet’s breakup was something of a messy one, but there was at least one good thing that came out of it; Jemina Pearl’s debut solo album Break It Up. The lead single off the album is entitled “I Hate People,” and the video for the song is posted below (thanks to Stereogum!). Even though he’s not in the video, the song features Iggy Pop helping to sing the chorus, which is always a good thing. One person who does appear in the video is Thurston Moore, which is pretty random, but also is pretty cool. Some people are hating on the song because it’s kind of poppy and not very punk, but I don’t have it in. I mean, the song is catchy, Pearl is kinda cute, and… well, I hate people, too! Give it a watch then head over to Jemina Pearl’s MySpace page, her “official” blog, or her label’s site to learn more and buy Break It Up for yourself.
