ICP/Debbie Gibson Song???: I shit you not Juggalos. Today on the Howard Stern Show, Stern called Debbie Gibson, and then was talking about how last time ICP was in the studio, they had mentioned hookin up with her to do a song. So then they called Violent J...and they talked with each other for the first time! Now is this really gonna happen? Debbie sounded genuinely interested, and J sounded just ecstatic about it! But...i'll let you be the judge. check out the MP3 from it:

Watch out Europe: The Hatchet is Spreading!
Psychopathic Records is proud to release that plans are in motion to open Psychopathic Records Europe, bringing all the unsuspecting citizens of Europe all the good wicked shit they can possibly handle! Spearheading this mission of conquest is Psychopathic Records hardcore and versatile warrior Matt Lethal! He is ready and able to freak it to levels never before witnessed on the continent of Europe from his secret headquarters in merry old London, England.

What does Psychopathic Europe mean to all the dedicated Juggalos of the Old World? This means that European Juggalos will have an easier time picking up all the Psychopathic CDs from all their favorite artists. This means that Juggalos in Europe can get HatchetGear with cheaper shipping fees, more availability, and faster delivery. This means that Psychopathic Street Teams will be hitting up towns, clubs, comic conventions, concerts, coffee houses, and more, spreading the word and spreading the love of the Hatchet. This means that Psychopathic Records artists will be touring Europe, throwing down the hardcore noise that you all love to hear for all the Juggalos Europe can muster together in one place. This means that Europe is about to get its proverbial wig peeled back with some wicked-wild flavor, and once you\'ve tasted the Hatchet, life is never the same again!

As if this news wasn't big enough, we are looking for new recruits to be apart of this devastation of Europe. This is the word from our European point-man Matt Lethal:

"We are taking applications for full-time positions with psychopathic Records Europe. However we are not just going to hire anyone for these positions. Here are some of the requirements that must be met. All candidates must live in or around the London, England area (any applications from non-European residents will be deleted). You must be at least 18 years of age and must be willing and able to travel to other European countries. Being bilingual helps, but is not required. You must, however, have a good knowledge of computers, as well as a lot of heart in their work. Not just anyone will be able to do the job. You must be willing to work long hours and its not going to be easy work. The job will entail a lot of promoting, which is very important and will be a crucial step in making Psychopathic Europe a success. We also will be opening a web store very similar to HatchetGear.com so a couple days a week will be working in the office shipping packages and many other tasks involved in operating a warehouse. The rest of the week will be spent promoting across the continent as well as the local area.

This job will be a lot of hard work and require a great deal of dedication so the weak need not apply. All the hard work will undeniably have its rewards: Psychopathic is by far the best company that one could work for and you will quickly realize that. Anyone who meets these requirements and feels that they could really bring something to the table for the hatchet please submit an application and it will be looked over and considered. We will be getting in contact with you in the next 2 months and the job will be explained to you in greater detail at that time."

Look for more news on Psychopathic Records Europe in the upcoming weeks. Psychopathic Europe is planned to open in early February 2003.

05DEC02 - Happiest Wishes to you and your mamma

Mad flavor for the holiday season! What specific sort of flavor, you ask? It's the mad flavor you get when friends and relatives are in town and they are like "What should we do?" The mad flavor, then, is that you can play Morton's List with them. People fresh in from out of town are perfect for a random Quest, as they might not know the area, and might be skeptical of suggestions for activities they don't know about. Just commit to play the game, roll the dice, and you and your group are off to experience the type of flavor that you just can't plan.

And if you don't yet have the game, it would be very un-American of you not to help stimulate this country's sagging economy with a purchase of Morton's List (MortonsList.com does not endorse un-American or anti-un-American behavior of any sort). But for real, how many people have to tell you that it's dope before you are ready to end your boredom forever?

And there's a few surprises to be found on the online store, too. Just in time for the X-Mas Mad Rush, we've got 360 Degrees of the Inner Circle, the Morton's List supplement up! That's right. Previously, only those who attended the Gathering of the Juggalos or pulled mad wild tactics could get a hold of this limited pressing ultra-high level flavor. But now, while supplies last, it's online, and ripe for the holiday picking. Not to mention Hockey Jerseys, Ninja suits, Dice sets (with velveteen pouch), hooded sweatshirts, T-shirts, knit hats, and Vinyl Stickers. That's right, it's all online and moving fast, so check out HatchetGear.com before, like Santa's ass up the chimney, it disappears.

Update: based on information provided by our increasingly powerful allies at ForbiddenRealms.org:
If you live in or anywhere near Columbus, Ohio, you need to erase whatever wackness might currently be pencilled in on Friday, January 17th, 2003, and write in something fresher. That's correct, young padawan: The ForbiddenRealms Morton's List Gathering has a final date and location. You need to be there, for trilla. The event is mad hype, and you can read slightly more at ForbiddenRealms.org.

For those with Internet access without the premium "click link" feature, here are highlights from the forthcoming freshtivities:
Admission will be 2 canned good. Canned goods will be donated to hungry people without cans or food.
There will be a section of a room marked off with a black sheet, with only a few people allowed inside. The details of this "Crow's Nest" are a mystery, but the clever can follow the clues.

The 30 luckiest ninjas who freak it the hardest will be invited to one super-fresh-ass last game of Morton's List. Food and Beverage MAY be supplied to people at the after party, but that's purely speculation at this point.
Doors will open at 5 PM.
What more do you want, damn.

You tell us!
It may still be 8 months away, but even now preparations are in the works for this year's Gathering of the Juggalos! We've got a lot of amazing things in the works which we'll be revealing as we get closer to the main event, but for now we want your help on answering a quick and simple -- yet very critcal -- question for us. One of the biggest parts of the Gathering is the dynamite concerts that happen every night at the Gathering. In the past, all the artist at Psychopathic Records have a set, and we've invited guest artists such as Mack 10, Vanilla Ice, Primer 55, Crazy Bone and others to come and perform for the Juggalos as well. Now the debate that we would like you, the Juggalos, to put to rest for us is whether we should continue to have guest artists along with Psychopathic artists performing at the Gathering, or whether we should only have Psychopathic artists perform at the Gathering and have longer performances for each. So, think it over, and hit up this survey and let us know what we should do!

Three Special Events!
There is a trio of treats in store for the start of December and being the holiday season and all we want you to have the opportunity to experience some extra flavor. As you all know, the Diamonds Raining Tour is just around the corner and everyone is geared up for this pre-tour of the Sixth and Final Jokers Card. You want to get as much Insane Clown Posse flavor as possible. Well check it out:

The first item on the list is a special online spotlight on the wicked clowns by Much Music. During the Devils Night segment of Hallowicked 2002, they had a crew down in Royal Oak to peep the mad freshness of the evening. They will have all that devastation on their New Music site this Monday, December 9th at 9:00 p.m. EST. They will be airing the wickedness again at 1:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. the next day plus a repeat airing on the 16th at 10:30 a.m. There is plenty of time and plenty of showings of this media event to get to a computer and peep the phat freshness so don’t miss it!

The other two special events are a duo of after parties during the Diamonds Raining Tour. When the show is over at two of the stops on the tour, the Insane Clown Posse and their crew will be getting their party on at the local bar. And we want to invite as many juggalos and juggalettes that can get inside to join in the fun. (Note: No cameras are allowed at either after party)

The first after party will be on December 5th and will be going down at The Warehouse in Pittsburgh PA. Located at 2835 Smallman Street, admission is $5… $10 at the bar to drink all night. It is an 18 or older event that will be starting approximately at 10:30 p.m. so if your down, best be there. Want to find out more about The Warehouse? Check out their site.

The second after party is on the 15th of December and is happening at the High Five at 1227 North High Street, Columbus OH. Admission is $5 for those ninjas who are 21 or older and $7 for those 18 to 20. Get your party on by getting to the High Five at 11 p.m. and come celebrate the Era of the Sixth! You can check out High Five’s flavor at their site.

A lot of flavor is going down with the coming of the Diamonds Raining Tour. Don’t miss your opportunity to experience all the benefits!


ICP on the Cover of Murder Dog
Yes, as you might have guessed by the headlines, the Insane Clown Posse has once again made the cover of Murder Dog magazine! We are talking about the ultimate freshness right here... and that's just the cover, check it out and get blown away! Now if you think that piece of devastation is wig flippin, then you'll just have to read all that goes down inside that mag. We are talking about a thick, in-depth interview with Violent J himself. He's breaking down all the fresh flavor about the wicked clowns and the Sixth and Final Jokers Card the Wraith! If you want to get the entire skinny then you had better pick yourself up a copy while they last!

Rasze from thesixth.com posted the 'Raszes Yearly Juggalo Awards'. Basicly, this is where he gives sites and people 'awards'. According to him, faygoluvers.net is the best site overall. I have to agree. Too bad Halls Of Illusions isn't mentioned once :(

Other news: I've made two new Halloween wallpapers. Yeah it's kinda late for that, but I just felt like doing that, okay You can find them in the Wallpapers section.




02-12-2002

Poll results:
Insane Clown Posse is the winner from our previous poll 'Who is the best Psychopathic artist' with 58% of the votes. Second is Twiztid with still a very good 28.2%

New poll for this week: ICP made two free songs on Thanksgiving Day: Bloody Bitch and My Shine. Which one do you like better? If you never heard 'em, download them in the Downloads section!

And I want to say again that Halls Of Illusions has it's own forum at forum.hallsofillusions.com. It's open for a week now, and only 17 Juggalos signed up. Come on Juggalos and Juggalettes, get your ass in the forum and join the discussions about The Wraith, ICP as Christians, Big Money Hustlas and much more!


01-12-2002

Finally I'm back with some mad flava for ya'll!

And now back with more happier news! JJ asked me in the guestbook if I could organise a Gathering over here in The Netherlands. For all of you who live under a rock, that is a country in Europe, close to England and next to Germany. My question to you all is: are there any Juggalos who would like to come? Are you from The Netherlands, England, Belgium, Germany or Sweden or whatever, and can spend some money to get your ass over here and have a good time with fellow Juggalos and Juggalettes? I can't give you any information at this point about the location or date, first I need know if any of you are interested!

So, mail me with thy quickness: [email protected]!
