Posted project update #7A book on radical insanity, a morbid graphic novel, an ink drawing, an Experiment Haywire megaphone, & a custom MK photo shoot: oh my!
Post CommentHello to the free world,
We are finding the others. If you've been following the voices of the Mad Pride movement I am sure you have heard of Randy Dethrow. He recently wrote the book "Crazy People" which discusses what it's like to live as a sane person in an insane world. As a fellow musician, SubGenius, and Discordian there are no mental limits he is afraid to cross in "Crazy People" which is why he has decided to give this book away to one lucky supporter of Sanity is Slavery.
There's more. A few years ago I picked up the comic book "Industriacide" by Sean Dietrich and was blown away by the sheer creepiness and beauty of his illustrations. I don't want to give too much away but it involves a girl and an evil teddy bear who escape to a far off land where everything is about as industrial as you can get. I'm talking about factories and oil refineries here. Dietrich has signed "Industriacide" along with a personal ink drawing of his for the Sanity is Slavery compilation.
What else? An Experiment Haywire megaphone. In the middle of my move to Santa Cruz I realized I still had mine from my gig with Babyland in New York City. You can definitely see the scars here but the megaphone does indeed work. It has the lyrics to "Game Called Life" on it + a bunch of other bizarre thoughts that I scrawled on it while I was backstage.machineKUNT model Fische. She's been kind enough to offer a custom photo shoot to one (in)sane person. The concept of the photo shoot will be entirely up to you. Fische is one of our hardest working models at machineKUNT and is featured as a Bizarre Magazine Ultra Vixen. With an extremely versatile style she can go for any look and concept that you desire. Simply create a story and she will visually manifest it for you with one of her professional photographers. Be as specific as you'd like.
This is the $250 package which also includes a BIG thank-you on the linear notes, a copy of the 'Sanity is Slavery' 2 CD digipack, (plus the digital bonus disc) & a machineKUNT poster. It is the only package like this available. It will only go to one person. Will it be you? -

Posted project update #6A message to anyone not sure which package to pick: flexibility is here
Post CommentI've recently gotten a lot of messages from people who weren't sure which packages to pick since they liked a bunch of different options from a bunch of different packages. This is why I've decided to add some flexibility to our Kickstarter fund.
Here is what to do if you want various things from different packages:
-Pledge without selecting a package for the amount of your choice
-Contact me about the rewards that you would like
-Make sure the rewards that you would like are equal to the amount that you pledged (this means don't pledge $5 and expect to receive an Experiment Haywire megaphone)Be sure to check out the UCNX 'Throw Up' digital single which comes with the $15 package. (along with a machineKUNT poster and a live recording of a Malfaktor session) Or be the first to get a professional remix from Lanette of De-Tached (previously in Dawn of Ashes) who I currently work with. She's definitely one of the best female producers in the industry so don't miss your chance. This is for the $85 package which also includes a copy of 'Extreme Women in the Dark Future,' a Cindergarden poster from 'The Clandestine Experiment' era, a Johan Ess 'Synergy Latte' CD, & a Choronzon 'New World Chaos' CD. (watercolor painting included) This is the package for the chaos types. You know who I'm looking at. ;)
Yet remember that flexibility is now here. What do you want? Just pledge a reasonable amount and let me know.
Here's a direct link where you can pledge: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/machinekuntrecords/sanity-is-slavery/pledge/new

Posted project update #4Zen and Coffee arm warmers! (plus new deluxe packages added)
Post CommentJust wanted to let you guys know that Zen and Coffee have been kind enough to give away 3 pairs of their signature armwarmers. I feel like I am wandering in a new wonderland already.
These arm warmers can be pledged on with the $70 package that also includes an original signed painting by Lady Mystery. Other goodies you'll receive are a copy of the 'Sanity is Slavery' 2 CD digipack, (plus the digital bonus disc) a machineKUNT poster, & a copy of 'Extreme Women in the Dark Future' (machineKUNT's first compilation featuring 18 hardcore female industrial acts). There are only 3 of these packages left.
We have also included two deluxe packages for those of you who are as psychotic about machineKUNT as I am. The first is a $500 package for unlimited machineKUNT merchandise (both music and fashion) and entry to shows for the rest of your life. The second is an $1000 package where we'll feature your company logo on the packaging of the compilation. (unless you represent views that are fascist against the mentally ill) The $1000 package also comes with unlimited machineKUNT merchandise and entry to shows for the rest of your life. It should go without saying that both of these deluxe packages come with copies of Sanity is Slavery.
Love,
Rachel Haywire -

Posted project update #3Sanity is Slavery paintings and artist testimonials
Post CommentHey everybody,
We are now ready to reveal the 3 paintings that Lady Mystery is giving away for Sanity is Slavery. All of them are personally signed. Be sure to help spread the word as we near the end of our Kickstarter fund.
Some words from the artists and pictures:
"It baffles my mind to think that in the past hundred years, society has failed to come up with a real solution for solving mental illness. We've gone from looking at it as "demon possession" in the middle ages, to trying to solve it using labotomy in the 19th Century and electro-shock therapy up until the middle of the 20th Century. Now how do we treat it? By shoving a cocktail of god knows what down patients throats, which more often than not does more harm than good. I'm happy to contribute to this project. I hope that the proceeds will help us find a real solution and ethical, effective treatments for this issue that has plagued mankind since the dawn of time." -Vernian Process
"I think living a "sane" lifestyle is slavery because you're following what society dictates to be acceptable socially." -Malfaktor
"When they say, "get a grip", "act normal", "keep yourself together" I often think of what "normal behaviour" acutally is. Who defines what is right or wrong or strange or what is within societies morals. Everyone has a at least something different in their minds, that's what makes us different from other people. Making others aware that some of us have troubles or difficulties with their own mind, or that they are different, whatever condition they have, is something we felt we had to contribute to." -Psy'Aviah
"The heinous schemes executed by the shadowy overlords who freely roam and despoil this planet far exceed any thoughtcrimes committed by someone considered to have abnormal traits, because rationalism is a far more abused weapon than madness. Queer phobias are forms of mental illness! Crush all paradigms! Death to the masses!" -Johan Ess
