Die Antwoord signs to Interscope, Neil Blomkamp to direct next video
“This the only thing I can do, I can’t do anything else,” Ninja continues. “It is what I love, and all I have ever wanted to do in my life. Now that all of this—” he gestures toward Hollywood boulevard, as a truck carrying leftover Academy Awards props cruises by”—now that this is happening to us, it’s overwhelming because you also realize that it could disappear right away. “
“I don’t know what that’s going to mean. But for now, I just know that we have a film to make, and albums to record, and shows to play.”
“It’s not bad.”
If for some weird reason you haven’t heard these guys yet, check out their music video for Enter The Ninja. Pretty awesome.
One of these things is funny. Guess which one!
Whippit Slippy
What did you do last night Chuck?
Well, I went over to Slippy’s downtown loft for a little gathering after the Downtown Art Walk.
How was that? Anything interesting happen?
Well… not really. I mean… It was Will’s birthday, so their were some cupcakes… and I did get into a belt whipping fight with Jen and Drew, then Heather showed us her broom contortionist act. Oh yeah, and then this girl Jamie showed us her broom stripper act, we shot a Chatroulette music video, and then talked to a twenty year old black guy with a bunch of weapons who didn’t seem to understand simple lighting concepts. We are all going to Atlanta in October to take him to the Clermont Lounge for his birthday.
Wow.
Yeah, I know. Crazy stuff happens at Slippy’s place. I am pretty sure that Slippy has whippits being pumped into his apartment, or the contractors who renovated his building used certain industrial glues and plastics not approved for use in the US, and toxic gases are being released into the air. Either way, it’s always a fun time.
Girls this good looking have never danced at the Clermont.
Everything here is a lie. We just read poetry and then watched C-SPAN the whole night. The part about the broom stripper act is true though.
This screen holds a lot of amazing things.

Writing is a deep-sea dive. You need hours just to get into it: down, down, down. If you’re called back to the surface every couple of minutes by an email, you can’t ever get back down. I have a great friend who became a Twitterer and he says he hasn’t written anything for a year.
