Jesus Ska
Videogum, my new favorite website with the most hilariousest writers ever, posted this video of Sonseed, an awesome Christian ska group:
Christian music was much cooler when it wasn’t so worried about being cool. You could put a Christian ska band of today up against a non-Christian ska band and no one would be able to tell the difference, unless they listened really closely to the lyrics. If you put Sonseed up against the non-Christian ska band of today, on the other hand, even people who had no idea what ska music is could point to the Christian band.
The best dude in the band is the guitarist. Everyone else is pretty stiffly white looking, but that dude’s tearing it up like he’s Elvis Costello back in his coke-fueled heyday. Plus, this song is damn catchy. You can learn more about Sonseed and their plan to take over the world right here.
The song takes on a whole different meaning when you actually know someone named Jesus.
Why do only latinos name their children Jesus, by the way? I mean, I would expect some crazy mountain evangelicals to be naming their children after Jesus. Not even middle names? Christ.
