MSI is a rock/punk/techno band. They kick ass, they're funny and perverted like me. =D

The "co-ed" punk/techno hybrid band Mindless Self Indulgence sound like Atari-game junkies raised on too much speed. Their new release, "Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy," is an expected blend of oddness and . . . oddness. It's a crazy 30-track disc that combines the most hilarious, self-deprecating, tongue-in-cheek humor and musical aggression to be found this side of Gwar.

(an interview with MSI) Record: OK! You guys have only been together for about 2 years, right? Little Jimmy: Yep, two years. R: Two CD's . . . LJ: Yep! The new one ("Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy") and "Tight." R: That's 44 songs you've released in two years. How do you come up with that many? LJ: I don't know. I just slap it down as I go. I can write a song in a day. Whatever's clever. R: And all the programming on your CD's, the Atari and computer sounds? LJ: I can write a song in a day, like I said. R: Do you just sit back, playing "Space Invaders" or "Pitfall," and think, hey that would be cool on the CD? LJ: (Laughs) Yeah that's how it goes! R: How did the band come together? LJ: I wanted to start a band so I just got my friends together cause I fucking hate musicians. R: What do you have against musicians? LJ: I hate 'em. They can play, I can't! R: What songs have you been playing on this tour? LJ: "Bitches," "Pussy All Night" from the first CD, "I Hate Jimmy Page" . . . R: Do you really hate Jimmy Page? LJ: Well, I don't hate him as a person. I mean, I've never met him. But I hate the way people emulate his music. It's like, c'mon, fucking move on. I don't know if I would hate Jimmy Page if I met him. Not like he'd care since he's probably never heard of me. He's got whole buttloads of money anyway. I'd rather meet Melissa Joan Hart. R: She's well endowed isn't she. LJ: She's fucking loaded too! R: You've done some pretty crazy stuff, like pissing on-stage. LJ: Yeah, I guess! I drank my own piss and stuff. But what's crazy is (guitarist) Steve also drank my piss. He survived! I don't know how but he did. Then he spit it at the crowd. R: Was this on the Korn tour? LJ: Nope! I don't wanna do anything like that here since it's all ages. (Little Jimmy takes a break to "give a shout out to the Dayton folk" who have congregated around the arena before the show.) R: How are Korn and Staind treating you guys. LJ: They're nice. Korn nice. Stop. Staind nice. Stop. Iceberg ahead. Stop. They're all very nice boys. In fact, everyone we've toured with has been nice. It's getting fucking boring. R: Who was your favorite to tour with? LJ: Insane Clown Posse were fun. I wanna take them home to meet my fucking mom! R: What kind of music scenes are you into? LJ: I hate scenes. I'm into everything, as if you couldn't tell from my album. If you wanna be in a scene you might as well be on Wall Street with a suit and tie or something. R: What's the touring like for you? LJ: Wake up, eat, wake up, get dressed, go on stage, jump around, people throw shit, hang out in the parking lot, kids say 'Dude, you were cool. Who the hell are you? Can you get this signed by Korn?' get on the bus, go to sleep, go to the next town. That's touring. It ain't about the bitches and the hos. I jerk-off too much so I'm never horny. (Little Jimmy breaks off to inform the inquiring fans that "I'm talking to my girlfriend in Buffalo") LJ: You're my bitch now. R: I'm getting more out of this interview than I bargained for. What are you going to do after this tour? LJ: Probably get shot. R: Why would someone shoot you? LJ: I don't know. We're a creative country. I'm sure someone will come up with a reason. R: What's the rest of the band like? LJ: We have Kitty on drums. She just hangs in the back and looks cool. She says "what up?" a lot. She's a nice girl. Vanessa Y.T. on bass, she's a nice girl. Stevie on guitar, she's a nice girl. R: Anybody else in the band drink your piss? LJ: Nope! Just Steve. R: What's the craziest thing that's happened to you on tour? LJ: Went on tour with Korn. I was arrested in Detroit on the ICP tour for whippin' out my pee-pee. I spent the weekend in jail. I learned a lot of great things there.
