Mindless Self Indulgence

[Lazarian]

MSI is touring in 2012, and even though it's unlikely that i'll see them (they only have one Canadian date in Toronto in March), it would be neat to hear if any of you guys have ever seen them live. Wonder what i'll be missing...

It would be cool if they announced a concert that was a little closer to Edmonton.

[jrdsctt]

I saw em once about 6 or so years ago. Kill Hannah was opening for them and they were fucking terrible. MSI put on a great show though, Jimmy Urine stuck around for like 45 mins after the show selling kisses for $1.

[Reser D]

I was really into the music in high school. Now it grates on my ears and I want to kill it with fire. Which is essentially the whole point, so that's cool. Saw them at the Wiltern a while back and it was awesome, I must admit. They're energy live is pretty cool, I'd go see them again if they came to L.A. for nostalgia's sake.

[icklekitty]

They were fab when I saw them in 2007. So much energy, taunting the fans, and a really fun show.

[Frozen Beach]

If you crave a taste of oldschool MSI, check out The Left Rights. It has a few tracks that sound like they were MSI outtakes.

[jrdsctt]

Yeah, I think The Left Rights was a recording session by Jimmy Urine and Steve, Righ? were they stayed up all night and just recorded every dumb thing that popped into their heads.

Well, that was the first album, but I forgot to mention the album I was more referring to was Bad Choices Made Easy, the second album they made which is a lot more structured.

Ah I see, I haven't heard the second album. I should check that out.

[waffel]

I remember seeing them at the Fox Theater in 2006. While their music grates my ears now, they are fantastic live. They throw things at the audience, Jimmy was bouncing around every where and they pull people up to grind on them/tie them to chairs. Their album stuff is kinda hard to take at times, but I highly recommend seeing/hearing it live.

[Frozen Beach]

New album! BUT there is a catch
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1268472090/brand-new-mindless-self-indulgence-record

[neorev]

i like MSI... haven't listened to em much lately
but i do own all of their CDs
hmm... i dunno, but i'm not feeling this kickstarter

it's like, hey we made an album... but fuck you, give us a bunch of money first or else you won't hear it

i dunno, just doesn't feel right... kinda comes off as dickish. and i usually like kickstarters.

if it's pretty much recorded, how about you just give us the damn album.
it's not like you guys haven't made any money touring the world for christ's sake

and i don't like how the more money you do spend, you don't even get the stuff that comes with the lower amounts come with
like you pay $5,000 and you only get your name as a song title? but don't get any special merch or even the fucking CD from the previous offers?
bullshit! at least give the fucker dropping $5Gs some special shirts and shit that the people who paid even less money are getting.

they even had the balls to write for the person that drops $5,000 to help them release their album...
"Album not included, you can clearly afford to buy that shit separately"

Seriously? Someone drops that much cash to help you release an album that you pretty much have done and you don't even give them a copy of it?

Sorry, just bad vibes all around boys and girls
I was a fan of theirs for years, but fuck you MSI

[Frozen Beach]

You're acting like this kind of thing is new when really it's what MSI is notorious of doing.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the 5,000 dollar option is a joke and they really don't want anyone to actually buy it.

[aggroculture]

Kickstarter? What a joke.
Put together your own label and release the damn thing. Kickstarter is for starters, not seasoned pros.

[ghostaustin]

I'm intrigued. and I want a new MSI album. They've got my ten bucks.

I think it's a good way to build hype and make the money they want to make off the album by advertising to their own niche market instead of using outdated advertising techniques and hoping for the best. It's a good way for fans to show their love. With their wallets. Plus, I've pirated everything they've released, so I suppose they deserve some of my money.

[henryeatscereal]

What a dumb way of selling an album! i know they will release the damn thing anyway but the band could be less of a douche with their fans...

[Sutekh]

They were fab when I saw them in 2007. So much energy, taunting the fans, and a really fun show.

Yeah I saw that tour at a small venue in the westcountry and was really blown away by how good they were. i'm not a huge fan but they were a great show (also the first time I ever felt old at a rock show). They were nice people too, very kind to all the bumpkin kids swooning over them in the car park afterwards, made an effort to talk to them all etc

I like the unicursal hexagram/coffin artwork on this new thing! But 150 large, haha... Never. Fifty would be a safer bet. This an age where you can get to #1 in the UK by selling 3000 records

[slave2thewage]

I kept walking by their dressing room on Thursday. It felt a little bit odd.

[Frozen Beach]

Figured I'd post this:
"Your money is refunded if the campaign isn't successful. You stand no risk of paying for something and not getting it". - Jimmy Urine
From Facebook.

Also, Jimmy said that whoever pays for the 5,000 dollar option WILL get the cd. The not giving it to them was a joke.

[Sutekh]

Ah what... They played a venue 10 minutes from me the other night, had no idea :(

[slave2thewage]

Yeah, I went to see Surgyn and Modulate in Manchester. MSI were playing Academy 2 (second floor) and they were Academy 3 (floor above that), with the MSI dressing room being on the third floor as well. Can't say that I saw any of the band members, but it was just off the corridor I was waiting in.

[Frozen Beach]

150,000 has been reached

Oh, plus here are two songs from the record:

One in demo form:

Oh, and here's the studio version of Last Gay Song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsIiCUd8IxA

[ghostaustin]

Man, those new songs are addictive. I'm loving the overabundance of drum and bass

[Dethbryte]

The new album is pretty fucking awesome. A step up from the horror that was If.

[Space Suicide]

This totally crept up on me, gonna have to go have a listen.

Hey, I liked If...

But if this is true, then I should enjoy this very much.

[Ash512]

Uneven but pretty good nonetheless.

[hellospaceboy]

Yeah, I got my kickstarter digital download two days ago, but only got a chance to give it a good listen this morning. It made a pretty good first impression, there are some songs that are instant favorites.

[Radiovoyr]

I like this one a lot. Witness, Fuck Machine, It Gets Worse, Casio, Kill you all in a hip hop rage and Jack you up are really Jimmy at his best. It 'sounds' kind of weird to me though, I cant put my finger on it, but the sound/feel of it is very YRTA to my ears and I did not expect that after If, but I guess I did not expect to ever heard another MSI album after If either. If kind of seemed like a good place for him to stop and do other stuff, but I am really glad he didn't. It's nice that we almost have studio versions of everything from the live album now, but I wish like hell Thank God was on this as a proper album track.

[hellospaceboy]

^^^
I second that, 'Thank God' needs a proper studio album version!

[Dethbryte]

I do too, but I'm at least glad we have that single for it.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

Eh.... this band is getting old. Same ol' same ol'... moving on.

[neorev]

There is a studio version of "Thank God" released...

[SM Rollinger]

I cant really stomach these guys anymore, however...

I saw them open for Rammstein during the Sehnsucht tour, along with Soulfly. This was back in 98 or 99, so the height of nu metal. Man, the crowd was vicious to them! hecklers galore, throwing stuff on sttage, ect. I dint mind em, and picked up the Tight album when i had the chance. I always loved the picture on the disc, the guy with the accordian and the "strictly for the hardcore niggazzz". :)

Theres my .02 on this band. slim to none chance ill ever have anything to say about em again.

[Sutekh]

It's very teenagery, limited but fun. They are very good live. One of the few bands that kids like which I don't find really irritating or disheartening. Frankenstein Girls & You'll Rebel to Anything are probably the best. The former is the definitive MSI sound and the latter is a very nice black album style mainstreamlining of their sound

I have to say I'm absolutely amazed they raised that cash, consider hat eaten

[exilajei]

Fun album, definitely a step up from If. I was very far from the 14 year-old demographic they went for with that album... (my opinionz)

Frankenstein Girls is definitely my favourite, but I do enjoy most of You'll Rebel to Anything as well. Was unaware Tight got re-issued; that new wave version of Bring the Pain is pretty hilarious and awesome.

[Hazekiah]

While my latest camcorder's broken and I'm still trying to figure out how to unfuck the A/V-synch issues with my latest recordings on my new HD gear, I've taken the opportunity to finally upload some old stuff I never got around to for whatever reason...like my old-ass bootleg of The Pop Culture Suicides over in the Manson thread as of a week ago or so.

That one had some relatively rough audio since my camcorder at the time had a broken Mic In port restricting me from using my external mic and forcing me to rely upon the crappy built-ins. Bleh. Still listenable enough, though. Certainly for a bootleg.

This one's in kind of the same boat since it was from the same time period. Still good, just a li'l rougher than my usual stuff.

Anyway, here it is, M.S.I. live in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN at First Avenue sometime in the end of March '08.

Any help with the exact date or setlist would be greatly appreciated!

Next up, Saul Williams and more NIN/JA-era NIN.

:)

[aggroculture]

Saw them the other night, good show. But too much is on tape. Sometimes it sounds like they're just playing the CD. A little bit more live playing would improve the show.

You sure it wasn't 2009? Because this is the only thing I could find for Minneapolis in a March and the setlist seems right. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/mindless-self-indulgence/2009/first-avenue-minneapolis-mn-63d7fa9f.html

[Hazekiah]

Oh, daaaaamn. You're TOTALLY right, thanks!

Haha, my bad.

I guess my camcorder was broken a LITTLE longer than I remembered, lol.

Now that you mention it, the fact occurs to me that it got broken in Feb. of '08 and I tried for MONTHS to get Best Buy to honor my product replacement insurance plan on it before I finally gave up and just bought a new one...because the NIN/JA tour was about to start.

D'oh!

Hindsight is 20/20 and all that...

neorev did you ever get "you'll rebel..." on vinyl? because it looks like amazon still has one copy! (https://www.amazon.com/Youll-Rebel-Anything-Mindless-Indulgence/dp/B01MTRSOAL/ref=tmm_vnl_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=)

[neorev]

eversonpoe Thanks for the info. I did not, but I did discover Rip Off studio version is a bonus track to Alienating Our Audience on iTunes and got the other bonus track through someone. I had no clue Rip Off had been up there this whole times. Sucks it's iTunes lossy quality though. I've been hoping they would put these songs up on their Bandcamp one day cuz i'd love lossless digital. Sadly, I do not have a record player.

[neorev]

eversonpoe
Hopefully we get a Pink 1990-1997 sequel... Two In The Pink 1998-2005 with unreleased material from this era. I'd pay for that. We never got the other part of Brooklyn Hype that they played live.

[ickyvicky]

Finally got around to listening to the Euringer album. I love "Do You Kiss Your Mama With That Mouth?"

YES! XD

[Demogorgon]

Finally got around to listening to the Euringer album. I love "Do You Kiss Your Mama With That Mouth?"

YES! XD

That and "Problematic" are my two favorite tracks. "Yes! I kiss your mama with this mouth!" is now one of my favorite diss phrases of all time.

Went to a small pub concert years back.

Unfortunately I didn't REALLY see them because when the precursor bands were on, I drank way too fast and popped my leg from jumping up and down too much.

alas I have to mention the awesome kid who helped me up and got security to take me somewhere out of the crowd, within two minutes of waiting for an ambulance I got to see MSI from the sec room, even the friendly sec was bummed out for me, they let me watch on the camera, I saw the main frontmans legs and feet! ha ha...if that even means anything. (I did HEAR them though, great songs)

I was off outings for 2 or so weeks.

Guess next time I gotta stop my mindless self neglecting :P

[ickyvicky]

I remember seeing them many years ago in Irving Plaza in NY. Venue is small, the place was packed and everyone was going crazy jumping on top of each other. I even got slapped in the face, haha.
