so mindless self indulgence is teaming up with the birthday massacre on tour.. and now they’re releasing yet another little cd of remixes in march for the massive consumption of the mindless public. the single to be remixed: “never wanted to dance” ? eep.. take a listen on MSI’s myspace – it’s not the actual single, but the birthday massacre remixed it. i got a little scared upon listening to the first few (sparkly) seconds, but i don’t know – it’s fast, it’s a little schizo, it even has double bass blasts!! whatttt. girly background vocals by.. a girl? hm. jimmy’s singing about dancing! hella heavily. and.. i actually really like this. do i??! do i!?!??!!
i really didn’t expect to like this track as much as i do. i guess it sounds.. different. the other teaser tracks they’ve been posting haven’t really caught my attention, and sometimes i feel like we’ve reached a point with MSI where you can’t hope for massive awesomeness, as much as you want to, because you might be slapped in the face with another remix cd or another idiotic networking site overloaded with bloodthirsty scene kids or another ridiculously overpriced tour with bands it once seemed they wouldn’t share a stage with. they’re insanely whoring the shit out of the internet, but i guess.. being completely tongue in cheek and pulling all of these bullshit stunts is what MSI have always been about, and we’ve always supported because they delivered – the music was undeniably and incomparably BADASS in a way that has solidified the band in a class of their own, no matter what they produce in the future, but also because – it was fucking funny to see how far they could take their joke.
so now there’s the birthday massacre.. they’ve got bunnies.. and purple.. electro-gothy-prettiness.. and a tatted, raven-haired girl in pigtails with a punky-lolita fashion sense singing the vox! sweet ….. ???? semi-undecided. this reminds me of when i first got into evanescence! aww.. way back when in 2003. but anyway.. yeah. “never wanted to dance.” MSI are trekking around the globe and pacifying us with the remixes before their new full-length album, “if,” drops in april of this year.
check the lyrics: “never wanted to dance with nobody but you, never wanted to dance with nobody but you, never wanted to dance with nobody but you, i wouldn’t take no for an answer.. you fucking BITCH!” okay, now i really like this.
you bastards. rape and pillage the fans and then have a band with purple bunnies remix your song about DANCING – and do it WELL.
.. you’re lucky because dancing and double bass blasts and psychojimmyvocals just happen to be just a few of my weaknesses =P ;D the ball is in your court, MSI!
