My Take
Jimmy Urine, born James Euringer, is exactly the kind of uncompromising artist I'm drawn to. As frontman, programmer and primary songwriter of Mindless Self Indulgence, the band he co-founded in 1997, he built an electropunk world entirely on his own terms. I love that he never chased mass appeal, instead cutting something jagged and personal that hits hard for the people it reaches. There's a fascinating contrast between the precision behind his programming and the chaos of his stage persona. To me, that refusal to soften the edges is the whole point of the work. New York produced a genuine original in him.
