I'm sure you've at least heard the name Mindless Self Indulgence lately. Be it form being on tour with Korn in support of their sophomore release, "Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy", from the massive amount of posts made by their street team, or some other strange bit of information. I recently got a call from a somewhat drunk Little Jimmy Urine, lead singer of MSI. Mindless Self Indulgence is without any doubt the strangest band on tour right now, and how fitting it is that they should give us one of the strangest interviews we've had in the short life of Shoutweb.

Shoutweb: Why are your songs so short?

Jimmy: Cuz we get bored real quick. Two minutes, I get the point, do you? You don't even have to press rewind anymore, just press repeat.

Shoutweb: Are you guys planning on doing any remixes?

Jimmy: For other people or for ourselves?

Shoutweb: For yourselves.

Jimmy: Yeah we got the "Bitches" "Molly" remixes that just came out. We got UZ doin' some stuff, and some drummer guys, and guys from "Front Line Assembly" and all these other people.

Shoutweb: What's your next single?

Jimmy: I'm not sure, it's really not necessarily a single, we just had some people who wanted to remix "Bitches", and we had some people who had remixed "Molly", so we just threw 'em together. I'm not sure what the next thing we' re gonna remix or push out is. There's thirty two songs on there, so HEY, I gotta get one of 'em right.

Shoutweb: I was told that you got arrested for lighting your penis on fire.

Jimmy: I wasn't arrested for trying to light my penis on fire, I was arrested for having my penis out. It was in Detroit, but the lighting my penis on fire was a different show. All the shows really blur together. I tried to (light my penis on fire) but it didn't quite work.

Shoutweb: How many times have you been arrested?

Jimmy: Really only that once surprisingly enough.

Shoutweb: What is the ratio of crowds that love you to crowds that throw shit at you?

Jimmy: Hmm? I never really gave it much of a ratio. I'd say it's either or. If it's a bad night, then it's just people standing around being boring no matter what we do, they just sit there, and aren't really doing anything. It could be a pleasant crowd, but I want them to be doing something, so I try to piss them off.

Shoutweb: So you purposely try to piss them off?

Jimmy: If they're not doing anything, hell yeah! It's for my enjoyment too, ya know? I wanna see something.

Shoutweb: What's the worst crowd you've had to deal with as far as being pissed off?

Jimmy: I don't know, there are so many here or there. I'd say the worst place to play with a pissed off audience is the Red Rocks. It goes up, the audience is all above you, and you're at the bottom, so it's like some guy at the top can throw something at you and totally hit you easy.

Shoutweb: What's the best tour you guys have had so far?

Jimmy: The Korn tour is really good, just because it's really good, and it' s really professional. ICP (Insane Clown Posse) was fun, definitely a learning experience. Rammstein was cool, lots of pyrotechnics. I think we're all very impressed by the food on the Korn tour. Good eats.

Shoutweb: How did you guys end up on the Korn tour?

Jimmy: I guess Jon Davis heard the CD and wanted to laugh at us and throw shit at us in person, so he invited us on the tour, so we said, "Ummm, YEAH! OKAY!"

Shoutweb: What's it like playing in a stadium that big?

Jimmy: It's not that very much different, I'd say that some of the ICP shows... actually like half of the ICP shows, and a couple of the Rammstein shows were pretty big, kinda similar to this, so it wasn't a complete absolute shocker, like Oh my god! One or two of the places were like HUGE, like Fargo, that place was gigantic. Very weird. They like us in Canada, which is weird. I wasn't sure how they were gonna react. Some night's people are like "Yay!", and other night people are like right off the bat, the curtain opens and they're like, "You suck!", but that's all part of it, and we enjoy it. We never leave the stage until we're damn fuckin' done. We usually have a good time fuckin with 'em, and pissin 'em off. The nice thing about a smaller club is that you have more stuff you can play with. You can come off the stage, run to the back. They have a lot more rules in a larger place, but the nice thing is that the crowd reacts as a whole. You can pretty much make 'em do what you want 'em to do.

Shoutweb: What kind of music do you listen to?

Jimmy: Right now I'm bringing it back to the eight and the nine. I just went out and bought the new Vanilla Ice. I bought Pump up the Jam, and I'm listening to Snow, Informer.

Shoutweb: You listen to Snow?!?

Jimmy: Yes.

Shoutweb: Man, I haven't heard that guy in so long.

Jimmy: (Laughs) A lot of people haven't heard that guy in so long.

Shoutweb: Which of your CD's do you like better, Tight, or Frankenstein Girls?

Jimmy: Um, I don't know. For me they're very similar. One's longer than the other one. I like the new one just cuz there's so much there. I mean it's in alphabetical order, and that kind of stuff. If I had like four or five albums I'd be able to go, "I really liked this one. This is a great period of my life, yada yada yada.", but they're back to freakin' back.

Shoutweb: What made you decide to cover a Method Man song?

Jimmy: It's a good song. I liked that song, it wasn't too new, or too old, or nothing like that. There was a lot to it, and I enjoyed it. I just made it a little wackier, and as usual, most people don't even know it's a cover.

Shoutweb: What do you guys do to pass the time on your tour bus?

Jimmy: Crunch berries... Steve raps... a couple of farts...

Shoutweb: Do you invite your mom to your concerts?

Jimmy: Yeah, she's come to one of my concerts. She enjoyed it in the fact that I wasn't bumming money off of her anymore. I don't think she necessarily got it, but she thought it was funny.

Shoutweb: Where did you get that pink suit?

Jimmy: (sort of rapping) Well, I put the pink suit together. I had to dye it, and do all the stuff.

Shoutweb: So you made that yourself?

Jimmy: Well there ain't no pink suit's out there for boys. Well, there might be now that pink is the "in color", and Gwen Stefani is wearing pink, now there might be a pink suit out there for a guy, but when I was looking around a year ago there was nothing. I had to get a white outfit, and basically dye the whole thing pink, and it was running all over me for the whole last summer.

Shoutweb: So, why did you decide to do that?

Jimmy: To piss people off... For fun... It's some guy running around in a pink suit.

Shoutweb: What's the craziest thing you've done on-stage?

Jimmy: Um. Drink my own piss I guess would be the first thing. The thing I don't like about that is that when I do something like that, Steve will do something as well, and people won't notice that he did anything. Like, I drank my own piss, but then he took the cup, and drank MY piss! I mean, my piss is my piss, if I'm drinkin' that, it's my piss, if he drinks it, it's somebody else's piss.

Shoutweb: ...that is so cool...

Jimmy: (Laughs)

Shoutweb: How did you guys end up being a band?

Jimmy: We just sort of put it together and it just ended up being like this.

Shoutweb: Did you guys know each other before..or..?

Jimmy: Yeah we knew each other before for a long time, but we were never in any bands. I hate, fuckin' hate musicians. I pretty much went around and found friends who could play, and were into doing something stupid.

Shoutweb: How do I get my hands on the "Bring the Pain" video?

Jimmy: (fake Chinese accent) I'm not sure.. I'm not sure. We made it and we sent it out, it wasn't very good, it wasn't finished. We just kinda sent it out and people started playing it here and there. I really don't know, I think I have a copy. You should check E-bay. People selling my stuff on E-bay and payin' for college while I'm here starving.

Shoutweb: How come you have pong on your website?

Jimmy: Cuz pong rules man!!!

Shoutweb: Do you guys ever plan on writing a serious song?

Jimmy: Probably not. Some of them are pretty serious, but it's just whatever works. Like I could start out with a serious idea. I could write a whole song that's serious, and the chorus is the shit, then I'll destroy the rest of the song and just work on the chorus and write new stuff. Pretty much it's whatever sounds good to me goes. It's all on what sounds good as opposed to the idea of the song.

Shoutweb: What's the story behind "I Hate Jimmy Page"?

Jimmy: The basic jist is that I'm getting really sick of people just goin' on and on about classic musicians, and Clapton is god, and Led Zeppelin, and nobody ever wrote a better song, and that's the best record, and blah blah blah, and then not doing anything new. It's like they all just sit around and pray to these guys. It's like great, I'm sure we all wouldn't be doing what we're doing if Led Zeppelin hadn't written this song, and if the Beatles hadn't done that. Let's move on. I mean even with the Sex Pistols shit, it's like alright the Sex Pistols did their thing. Why would you want to do Sex Pistols Part 2? Ya know what I mean, it's like what's the point? Do something different, entertain me, plug in a frickin' toaster. Who cares if you can hit an e-minor 7th chord. Make me wanna see you for a reason.

Shoutweb: How did you end up with the name Little Jimmy Urine?

Jimmy: Nobody ever called me that, so I figured I'd go with it.
