Decide you'd rather have "IF" on vinyl or get the 3-CD "IT" singles as opposed to mowing down on turkey and stuffing, tomorrow*? Great news, then! From tomorrow (November 26th) through December, The Omega Order will be doing a very special 15% off sale on EVERYTHING in their store including TONS of MSI stuff...

Just go to http://www.theomegaorder.com/msi, pick out what you want, and at the checkout enter the code XMAS09. Be sure to poke around their shop though, they've got tons of other cool shit (including releases from our friends in Dir en grey).




* You can of course get the sale AND turkey and stuffing, but tell ma you ain't gonna help her in the kitchen 'till you order your stuff!

...except of course you do!

Check out these AMAZING MSI iPod, iPhone, laptop, Blackberry, Guitar Hero controller, and PSP skins made by our friends at Music Skins, with original artwork by Jhonen Vasquez:







All of these are available NOW at http://www.musicskins.com/newsletter/msi.html (or by clicking the images above) - if you order today, they'll get to you well in advance of Christmashanuwhateverthefuckkwanzika (AND you'll get a very special 15% off coupon code for your next order)...if you just want them for yourself, they'll get to yah just as fast, we just like to push that whole holiday-warmth-and-giving (*cough* commerce *cough) thing when we can.

Hey NYC! Kenny Muhammad (of "Lad Di Da Di" fame) is going to be performing a FREE show to kick off the amazing Royal Flush Festival, this Thursday (October 15th).

Those of you who've heard MSI's cover of that Slick Rick tune obviously recognize Jimmy's voice...but all of the beats and music? That's Kenny Muhammad aka The Human Orchestra! [If somehow you haven't heard it yet, do so HERE]

MSI have been friends with Kenny for years and give him as much love as possible because he is a huge talent in our eyes -- that said, a lot of you motherfuckers haven't seen him live yet (and most certainly not for FREE).

Here's the details, folks:
The Royal Flush Festival crew invite you to a FREE concert at their Opening Night Party, on Thursday, October 15th at Hiro Ballroom (88 Ninth Avenue, Manhattan). Doors at 10pm with great drink specials including 2-4-1 Vodka Drink Specials and FREE Red Stripe Beer (while it lasts) from 10pm-11pm. Kenny hits the stage at around 11:30. And, yes this is a 21+ only show (sorry, kiddies).

This Annual Party Features Performances By:
Kenny Muhammad aka The Human Orchestra
The Beatards, Bryonn Bain (music from the horror film, "Pig Hunt"), Miz Metro, and DJ Vikas At:
Hiro Ballroom
88 Ninth Avenue (between 16th and 17th street, Manhattan)
GET DIRECTIONS!

Hope to see some of you folks out there and at the rest of this festival this weekend. Be sure to check out royalflushfestival.com for additional information, schedules, and more!

UPDATE: As of right now (4:45PM EST) "#HAPPYBDAYJIMMYURINE" is in fact a trending topic on Twitter! Thank you all...keep it going? Think you could take the top spot? Let's see!

You know that Jimmy Urine fella? Sure yah do, cuz if you didn't you probably wouldn't be here...

Well, September 7th happens to be his birthday and we'd LOVE to get that shit as a trending topic on Twitter so that he can see the love in a nice public forum*. Chris Brown's friggin' bow-tie made it on there, so should Jimmy's birthday!

It's REAL easy to do...simply post "#HAPPYBDAYJIMMYURINE" on Twitter this Monday and tell your friends to do the same. Yup, that's it. And we made it SUPER easy -- after you post, you can click/share the link http://bit.ly/URINEbday (it links to http://twitter.com/home?status=#HAPPYBDAYJIMMYURINE if you're wondering) which really does ALMOST all of the work for yah (you just have to hit "update" button once you get there).

Thank you all, really...now let's show this bitch how much we appreciate him on HIS day!

* Yes, we know some of you aren't Twitter. And we know some of you hate Twitter. And we know some of you have no idea what the fuck Twitter is (how this is, we do not know). But please, just for today, get yourself an account, follow @MSI, and show Jimmy some love.

We have a bunch of shit to give back to y'all for being supportive and figgered we'd try and make it a little bit of a contest-type-dealio.

All you gotta do is order some MSI merch or music (minimum of $5, please) from The Omega Order, Metropolis Records, Amazon, Bandcamp, Amiestreet, iTunes, Merchnow, or wherever the fuck else you can find.

Then forward your receipt (dated between August 27th and September 5th) to MSIgiveaway@gmail.com and we'll pick some random winners between now and next weekend. Depending on how this goes, maybe we'll extend it.

Yup, that's it.

And who knows what else we'll find to give people in the meantime. Maybe there are some old promos or posters or stickers kickin' around here, somewhere. People are paying retarded prices for that shit on eBay so maybe we can cut out the middle man for yah...

BTW, for every $5 you spend, it'll count as an addition entry i.e. if you buy the "Another Mindless Rip Off" singles pack ($9.98) with the MSI DVD ($10.98) HERE it'll count as 4 entries. If you buy the "IF package" HERE it'll count as 8 entries...we'll even be nice, round up a few cents if it falls just under an interval of $5, and count shit like $9.98 as two entries!

P.S. If you tell your friends about this little contest via Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc we'll count your entries DOUBLE (so if you have 10 entries it'll turn into 20)...just add links to your posts with your receipts.

P.P.S. No purchase necessary to enter. If you ain't got at least $5 to spare, write a 10 page single-spaced paper, comparing/contrasting the 2009 economic crash to The Great Depression of 1929. Explain how the current economic climate is harming the entertainment industry and give at least 5 suggestions for an artist to survive in today's industry.

Get left out in the cold a few years ago when Another Mindless Ripoff came and went in around a month's time? Been seeing it on eBay for $50+ but you can just never bring yourself to throwin' down on it? Now is your friggin' chance...

Someone found a surprise stock of them shits in the Metropolis warehouse and they're blowing it out with the "Straight To Video" and "Shut Me Up" singles for UNDER $10!

Get 'em while they last HERE...and hell, you can grab Our Pain Your Gain while that's on sale...

Under $23 for a ton of exclusive tracks and remixes (55 in total over 3 CDs) plus the DVD of MSI's legendary 3 night stand at Webster Hall? st COME ON!

P.S. When this stuff's gone, it's gone...so act quick.

P.P.S. Looking for some newer MSI, as well? Get everything from IF onward for next to nothing at Amie St...they're doing a crazy summer blowout sale and shit is MAAAAAD cheap.

We have no idea who this Sarah Silverman-looking girl is
but you can click those pics to be transported to the store!

Chronicling MSI's sold-out three night residency at NYC's Webster Hall, "Our Pain Your Gain" shows Mindless at their best! The band and director spent two years carefully assembling footage which best showcases the legendary performances as well as how fiercely independent and stunningly visceral Mindless gets. There is an unparalleled willingness to put themselves on the line, night in and night out, and this DVD is as close as you can get without literally finding yourself against the barricade.

Featuring over twenty live songs (from near every release, "Tight" through "IF"):
Faggot, Dicks Are For My Friends, Clarissa, Shut Me Up, Revenge, Backmask, 1989, Golden I, Stupid MF, 2 Hookers, What Do They know?, Planet of the Apes, Capitol P, Prom, Uncle, 7-11, Bring the Pain, I Hate Jimmy Page, Tom Sawyer, Kill the Rock, Bullshit, Straight to Video, Bitches, and much, much more including a bunch of extras and bonus features:
- "Straight To Video" music video
- "Shut Me Up" music videos (original and final)
- Winning fan videos from the "Straight To Video" video response contest
- Exclusive artwork from Jorden Haley (including the infamous MSI squid-pony)
- Unreleased concert photos
- Jhonen Vasquez's original illustrated story-boards
- Interviews with fans
- And much, much more!

Get it RIGHT NOW at Metropolis Mail Order (while supplies last)...you don't wanna be left DVD-less when these fuckers sell out or go back to normal price (not sure which will happen first).

P.S. When you buy it, mind doing us a favor and telling your friends on Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, etc? You can share the link http://bit.ly/MSIDVD with 'em to make it super easy...
