Checking in on Beck’s site to follow the progress of his ‘Record Club’ project I was pleased to discover that he’s posted all of the videos that were produced for his excellent album ‘Sea Change’, which I reccomend that you reacquaint yourself with, but he’s also got this up: possibly the oddest thing I’ve seen in 2010, a video in which Jack Black forms part of a men’s support meeting, and then American Football players fight each other in a living room to a Kenny G inspired soundtrack.
South Africa has a vibrant, varied and sometimes incomprehensible, as this video evidences. No, Die Antwoord not a spoof, although I bet The Lonely Island guys are teary eyed in admiration. Imagine Vanilla Ice’s weedy cousin, dressed entirely from the Salvation Army’s 10p bin, and his vertically challenged girlfriend rapping with thick South African accents over bouncy “Next Level” European Techno beats, or possibly a nice bit of Donk. I don’t know if it’s good, but it’s different, and quite stunning – I just hope and pray they know about irony in South Africa.
