• MSI vs. iTunes!!!
  NYC electro-punk outfit Mindless Self Indulgence has been asked by iTunes to change the genre that they are filed under. Presently MSI is filed under ‘religious’ because of their devout fan base and cult-like following (currently having shipped 180,000 CD’s in the last year alone). Apparently this has angered some Christian organizations who have filed complaints with the digital music giant to get the band’s music removed from that category. Several Christians appear to have purchased the seemingly offensive material, on faith, even though it clearly was marked as being explicit material. Part of what seemed to annoy them was how well MSI’s album, You’ll Rebel To Anything, did reaching #27 on the iTunes Christian/gospel charts! When asked what he thought of this controversy, MSI’s singer, Jimmy Urine had this to say… “It was iTunes, not us, that interpreted “religious” to mean Christian. What is offensive to some people is obviously inspirational to others. To our fans this IS inspirational music. I have no intention of changing the genre listing of this album.”

• Cesium_137 Hard At Work On New Album!!!
  Cesium_137 are currently in the thick of producing another full length album due out in 2007. While still maintaining their electronic body music roots, the duo has continued to embrace other electronic dance music genres in order to forge a fresh sound and keep the dancefloors busy.
  Vince and Isaac are currently working in the studio with accomplished electronic musician and producer Paul J. Geissinger for the vocal production elements of their new compositions. Mr.Geissinger is also known as the grime producer/musician Starkey. You can check out Paul’s work at pauljgeissinger.com for his full story.
  On the production tip, the main mix studio for Cesium_137 (Subversive Sound) has gone through a few drastic changes so that the production of this album is approached in a fresh and innovative (analog) way while opening up new avenues of aural manipulation. The evolution of this new sound will focus on the group’s classical music tendencies as well as their rampant technophilia while keeping their anthems driving.
