That’s how I see it, anyway.

There, I fixed it for you.

Oh yeah, and the alien in the X-Files that travels via black oil and blackens Krycek’s eyeballs.

Mmmm, tropey visuals.

And if you are all wondering where the idea for the video came from, I think you can credit the highly underrated Jane Alexander.

I think that you can credit Agaliarept, who vastly precedes 1985/6.

And I agree with you Ms. Jardin, Boing Boing is one of my go to web sites for music discovery.

Interscope couldn’t release the album because they are trying to appease the prudes at Wal*Mart.

[expletive deleted] that.

Releasing this album on the internet is the proper response to this commercial anodyne.

I will be buying this oeuvre [at http://dieantwoord.com/ ] as soon as it finally gets released, and I wish it well for the same reason that I bought Louis C.K.’s show [at https://buy.louisck.net/news ].

The rebellion against the imposition of morés by the very small portion of the 1%ers who rent time to the rest of the 1%ers on their big media 1:N megaphones is coming despite their best of the worst efforts (SOPA/PIPA/NDAA [ http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/39773/Opinion_Why_you_should_be_angrier_about_NDAA_than_you_were_about_SOPA.php .])

The 1%er are trying to appeal to a supposed mass (enough unquestioning people to provide them with enough income for their broken business model) and appease the 99%ers while snuffing out the internet, a communication medium which would overwhelm them with demand.

I wish only the best to any and every artist who goes against the grain, and most art is made against the grain.

Its about time they were chased out the temple (and my body is my temple.)

Please, think of codeHound.

In South Africa, we are not as crazy about these guys as the folk in Europe and the USA.
In reality Die Antwoord have taken bits and pieces out of South African culture and recycled it into a scary monster.

By the way, there’s a lot of this kind of stuff going on here at the moment.

There’s a lot of crazy crossover coming out of SA right now and personally I think it’s an amazing place to be right now. You can do anything.

Die Antwoord is not original, but they are fun.

Attached is a piece of hers called the “Butcher Boys” a sculpture from 1985/6
It’s in the National Gallery in Cape Town. Go and see it. It’s great

An aside, as a South African (expat), it’s very amusing to see the cultural impenetrability their act seems to have to foreign audiences.  One of the quirks that seems to confound foreigners is that Afrikaans and English-speaking white South Africans are very different and rather insular cultural groups with some historical political and class friction between them.  Tudor-Jones affectation of a poor Afrikaner identity is rather provocative in and of itself, rather like a New Yorker affecting a Deep South redneck persona, but more extreme in terms of provocation.  Afrikaners are very, very touchy about being looked down upon by “soutpiels” like me. That act will likely get them killed in a “Zef” establishment.

We don’t tolerate unproductive crabbiness around here.

If by “lame” you mean “having tastes which disagree with yours” then yes, I am, and I’m terribly sorry. I’ll try to be cool enough to like this super edgy, completely unmatched in indie cred (who would have ever thought to release one’s own record [Ani DiFranco's a start]), who-cares-if-the-music’s-any-good-I-love-the-image group next time.

I only listen to nature sounds. I’m way cooler than you.
