I'm pretty sure I have the best job in the world.
It's an indoor ski slope right here in Manchester.
I have always wanted to try snowboarding from when I was a kid but being from South Africa it's not really the weather for snow sports. I have been working at Chill FactorE since just before Christmas so have been boarding for abt 2 months. I get to board everyday at work and have started freestyle recently.
Here are some pictures Matt took when I was at Freestyle last week.
I was shown a pretty cool website last night called Stumbleupon by my friend Kadie last night. The principle of the website is to allow users to discover and rate video, photos and webpages. This was the first video that I "stumbled upon" and it's awesome so I had to share.
Die Antwoord have released a banging new track called "Jou ma se poes in 'n fish paste jar." Translated into English it means "your mothers pussy in a fishpaste jar." For a limited time you can download the track for free from their website I advise getting your dirty little fingers on it now while its fresh and hott!
Die Antwoord are a South African rap crew with next level beats, mad rap skills and such steez. My love for these guys started whilst I was listening to Max Normal in school. I was instantly hooked on how he was rapping about things like washing powder, talking to loudly in the cinema, jungle oats and bribing cops after getting busted for smoking weed in the park.
Max Normal then moved onto become Max Normal.TV with Yo-Landi Vi$$er and Dj Hi-Tek. The sound had developed and grown from Max Normals days with more aggressive lyrics, more punhcy beats and lots of rapping in Afrikaans. During this period fans could purchase "Chommie Toys" which are limited edition dolls hand made by Ninja and Yo-Landi. I have two myself: Rave Dassie and Giaraffe. They are awesome!
A couple months later there was another evolution from Max Normal.Tv to Die Antwoord. Die Antwoord have just recently been signed to a record label in The Netherlands. The new website is absolutly incredilbe and it seems I'm not the only one to think so because I read an article in the New York Times (YES! The New York Times!!) this morning about how the server for their website crashed due to the enormous 3 million hits they have had in the last 4 days.
I am so stoked for these guys. They truely are my favorite band not just because they make amazing music but because they completely submerge themselves in the whole process with the video editing, filming, custom clothing and the artwork they create. They truely live for it. I am so excited for this next chapter for them and more selfishly I cant wait to watch them on their European tour!
I love that episode of Mr Bean when he is having a new year party and runs out of twiglets so just cuts up a stick into small pieces and dips them in marmite. hahaha. So funny!
