NYC electro-punk outfit
Mindless Self Indulgence has been asked by iTunes to change the genre that they
are filed under. Apparently it has angered some Christian
organizations that music apperas in category "religious". 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
