DVD NOUVEAU SHOWS FAVOURITISM
I know it’s incredibly late and for a man of my stature incredibly emboerrissing to say this, but I’ve only just started getting into The Sopranos. I left it too long, I know – especially for a series which has been hailed as one of the greatest series the world has ever seen.
As with most series, it is available at DVD Nouveau, which is where I got it last weekend. I appreciated the likes of G and Sam (behind the counter) not laughing as I uttered the words, “The Sopranos *ahem* season 1 *cough* disc 1, please.”
And so began my journey. And what a lovely journey it has been! So much so that I was in Claremont the other night, staying over at a friend; and I popped in to the Claremont DVD Nouveau store (I don’t know the address but it’s next to that circle where Wijnhuis and Melissa’s is) to keep The Sopranos flowing.
What was I greeted with?
Lo and behold:
Hello hello, what do we have here?
Oh, I do say!
“What the fuck is this?” I asked the guy behind the counter.
“Aah, yes,” he says, “we have a full time coffee barista from Monday to Friday’s.”
“Oh REALLY!!!? And why don’t you have this in town at your Bree Street branch?” I yelped. “Why do the okes in the burbs get this shit and we don’t? There’s that whole courtyard in town that could be turned into a bar if you wanted!”
“Jesus, don’t ask me, bru – ask the owners!” said our boy.
Pfft. Cool. So that’s what I’m doing right now – Dear Owners, when are WE getting a coffee vibe in our Bree street branch?
Jesus.
I suppose one thing they are giving us in town is CAPE ROCKS II, on Saturday 26 September, at The Assembly. That’s pretty gnarly.
But other than that I’m feeling ever so slightly deprived..
Check out the DVD Nouveau blog and, oh, while I have you, do yourself a FAVOUR and hire out the series “It’s always sunny in Philadelphia” – you’ll piss yourself – trust me.
ps. WIN TICKETS TO CAPE ROCKS II from my buddy Luca HERE

Welcome my son. You have just ruined television drama for possibly the rest of your life.
Quite likely nothing will ever compare to this show. Not to begin talking of tight scripts great acting, dark humour etc. The soundtracks alone make this series stellar.
I always knew a man of your refined tastes must discover this sometime.

Sopranos. Better late that ever dude. Some of those guys live the vibe (although the occasional homicide or beating is required to keep it there – think i prefer your way).

This is why I only go to the Claremont Branch. I top it off with a glass of wine at De Wijnhuis. This part of the “burbs” is becoming pretty cool.

I am a true sopranos fan. I have all the box sets. Second best thing to Sopranos is Mad Men… I just wish I could get my hands on season 2.
I live around the corner from the Claremont branch, and when we walk to barristers for quite ale, or across to Basilico for what must be the best bacon avo and mushroom pizza on the planet, I often say to my wife…. “We should pop in to Nouveau and open up a contract”. Now I have a reason. Once again, thanks 2oceansvibe for the inside info.

is anyone else getting bleak with dvd nouveau – they are just plain rude sometimes. i found an awesome new store in vredehoek called the red sofa – the guys there are super cool and always up for a chit chat – sorry but my loyalties have changed – you guys need to up your game!
