"Enter the Ninja" by South African band "Die Antwoord" - "The Answer"

 

This is probably the most disturbing thing I've seen on the interwebs in a long time.

They did the video with one of the world's oldest progeria sufferers, a Cape Town based visual artist.

Okay - the music seriously sucks. As far as I'm concerned, that is. But for some reason these guys have been taking the interwebs by storms over the last week or two, and even made the New York Time's front page. God knows why. But give it a look - these guys did this video on a shoestring, filmed and edited everything themselves at home. It is done very professionally - awesomely so. Don't be bothered too much with the lyrics - these guys are doing a caricature of the "zef" culture in South Africa - and I can't really explain it to you other than saying you have to be South African to entirely understand the humour behind it.

 

Watch it for the direction - very awesome for a garage band!

 

But it is disturbing as all ****, nonetheless...

 

Checkit...

Several years ago, Alex Ebert—the hard-partying lead singer of major-label power-pop group Ima Robot—broke up with his girlfriend, moved out of his house and joined Alcoholics Anonymous. After that, he spent a year sleeping on a blow-up mattress in a tiny L.A. apartment with no phone and no Internet, sketching out a story about a messianic figure named Edward Sharpe. “He was sent down to Earth to kinda heal and save mankind,” the longhaired, bearded and often-shirtless Ebert says. “But he kept getting distracted by girls and falling in love.”

 

Life imitated art shortly thereafter when Ebert met singer Jade Castrinos outside Little Pedro’s, near the train tracks downtown. “We hit it off and made a run for freedom,” Ebert says. “And of course we started writing music together.” By the summer of 2009, Ebert and Castrinos were touring the country in a big white bus with a group of fellow music makers known as Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros.

 

Like a crazed mix of Krishnas, von Trapps and musical merry pranksters, the dozen or so bandmates sing in a co-ed chorus about 40-day-long dreams, desert visions, the man from Galilee and their desire to heal you and set your spirit free. At the center is Ebert, laughing and dancing and shaking like he has that same covenant with God.

 

The real reason people join cults... the music is just that much better than your typical Anglican church ;)
