Dear friends,
Have you ever listened to Magma's "Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh" and
thought: Hey, this sounds like English?
Have you ever wondered if maybe the whole thing actually *was* in
English -- secretly?
Have you ever thought that maybe it was actually a story about
Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek getting his heart broken by Yoko
Ono, Wittgenstein waiting for presents from Santa Claus disguised as
Gandalf, Theodor Adorno practicing Wicca, war in the Middle East,
smashing the patriarchy, and whether or not Jewish theological texts
are capable of rocking and rolling?
If so, you've come to the right post, because your suspicions have
been confirmed! Watch and be amazed at:
"Magma's Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh Mishëard, Or, Theoretical
Perspectives on Conflict in the Middle Earth... er, East: Religious
Conflict and Constructed Languages"!
Watch it here:

English lyrics by A.R.T. (that's me) and T.C.S.
Storyboard and animation by T.C.S.
Total ridiculousness by the internet
Enjoy!
