The Grammy Award-Winning artist and singer of the much-popularised single, Hide And Seek is coming to our temperate shores in early 2011. She’ll be playing in Johannesburg and Cape Town for two nights only, respectively. Check out the details after the jump!
That’s right my lovelies. The beach boys. At the Cape Quarter. More specifically, in our studio, this morning, at 1oh00. I don’t think there’s much more to be said here, except that you can book tickets for their South African gigs right here. Make sure to tune in before 10hoo if you’d like to listen […]
During World War 2, a dead tramp from London was shipped to Italy, given an elaborate backstory by Ian Fleming (of James Bond fame), dressed as a British soldier and supplied with fake British invasion plans. What I’m saying is he was a zombie spy. So as it happens, zombies have been du jour since the mid 1940s.
This weekend saw some rather unfavourable weather conditions. The South Easter unleashed her fury over Camps Bay yesterday, and so Clifton 4th it was. Still, it wasn’t ideal, as the gusts hit every umbrella on the beach, sending the ice-cream men running. But nothing could disturb these beauties…Check the earphones.
Kevin who? Kevin Laye – the guy who wrote Positive Drinking: Control The Alcohol Before It Controls You! We don’t know much about Kevin other than that he’s a hypnotist and the last time he had a jol was in 1962. In his book he runs us through a range of techniques of how to stay sober when you feel a party coming on. Here are some of the highlights.
Oh, internet. I love you. This little gem popped up over the weekend, and I thought you might like it. This guy repeatedly attempted to sell Cash4Gold ‘zip lock bag[s] of gold painted rocks,’ and eventually got an angry letter in response. Which he has framed. There are references to quadriplegic prostitutes. Click through for transcription.
The Italian Football side did it for D&G. Helen Mirren et al did it for a local hospital in the movie Calendar Girls. Now, UCT’s MC Marais XV have stripped off for charity and an annual tour. Ladies and Gentlemen (although this one is definitely more for the laydeez), I present the 2011 MC Marais Naked Calendar:
I may have rushed to get to the moral of the story with the headline there. I’m sorry. It’s just that I got so excited because the HMS Invincible is for sale! The Invincible is big enough to carry 22 aircraft (not included), and is available second-hand, previously owned by a lovely old lady who only took it to war on Sundays.
2oceansviber, Sugar, a regular on Cape Town’s bustling Kloof Street, spotted this Hitler t-shirt in the window of one of those shops where you might expect to see this sort of thing, if you know what I mean. Here we have an example of one man’s smug irony being another man’s reason to kick the former man’s ass. Check out the pics below.
We noticed that Goldfish hadn’t made a music video for their tune “Show You How,” so we thought we would have a bash at doing one ourselves. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 2oceansvibe Radio Music Video! SPECIAL THANKS: Directed and Edited: Genevieve Akal Soundtrack: Goldfish ‘Show you how’ Shot and Post Production: New […]
It’s Thursday. Look at this video. It’s partially a rant on nanny-state politics, so you can watch it and act like you’re smart and politically engaged, and it also has footage of ladies in lingerie playing American football, which is relevant to the debate at hand, but also good for its own sake. SFW
Holiday party photos are boring. imgur user Everet Hiller make them more fun with fake celebrities! “My wife and I have a holiday party every year and every year when I send out the photos I add famous people to the images,” he says. Which is great, because now I have a legitimate reason to look through a complete stranger’s holiday photos on the internet.
Our 2oceansvibe Radio Johannesburg correspondent, Lize Kay, joined us on air today, to give us the the third installment of “What’s The Vibe In Jozi?”, a run down of what’s hot and happening in Jozi. Will her report this week include witty references to parallel parking? Only clicking through to download the very small, very punchy mp3 will give you the answer…
Did you have a Mini? Then got married, started having kids, basically grew up and had to sell the one thing that made you smile? Well Mini has taken you into account my friend and have brought out the grown up version to suit your lifestyle. That’s right my friends, Mini have stepped up yet again!
Since 1993, the Literary Review has presented an annual Bad Sex in Fiction Award for the worst description of a sex scene in a novel – and this year that honour went to Rowan Somerville, who narrowly edged out Franzen and Campbell with the sexy, sexy line “like a lepidopterist mounting a tough-skinned insect with a too blunt pin he screwed himself into her.”
Generally we don’t like putting the words ‘love’ and ‘viral’ in the same sentence, because they’re usually followed with ‘should clear up after a round of penicillin.’ Thankfully, this online love-letter-video-thing isn’t the kind you need protection for; it’s a guy’s attempt at reaching his long-distance girlfriend virally over the internet.
Singapore’s national water polo team is in a bit of trouble with the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts for their latest uniform design – which places the crescent moon and stars from the Singaporean flag right about where a crescent-moon-shaped part of the anatomy would be if they weren’t wearing anything.
I cruised up to Johannesburg on Friday morning with La Muse, The Dude and Salty. We were up for the highly anticipated launch of the new MINI Countryman. I checked the weather report and it mentioned the late 20’s, so I thought we might as well stay until Sunday evening. I mean, there could be worse things than lounging at The Westcliff Pool, right?
So a bunch of new information came to light with the recent Wikileaks release, blah blah everybody’s a spy, they’re planning on reunifying Korea, the U.S.is failing to prevent Syria arming Hezbollah, big deal. But apparently Russia’s badass PM Vladimir Putin and Italy’s pimp-daddy PM Silvio Berlusconi are fist-pumping bros!
So there you are shooting hoops with some buddies on a Friday afternoon and bam! Your elbow connects the face of the most powerful man on earth. Naturally you don’t own up but wait for the world’s media to catch on to the story and identify you with the help of the Secret Service.
I don’t understand this. At all. I mean, I’m tempted to just leave this here and let you guys draw your own conclusions, but I feel like you’re owed some kind of explanation. Which is unfortunate, because I have nothing for you. Sexualized CGI animals. Using Orangina as a household product. In France.
Poor Israeli military. You’re like that lonely guy, going through a pretty girl’s photos to see if she really does have a boyfriend, like she said that one time at that club. Except replace ‘boyfriend’ with ‘Orthodox Jewish background,’ which is a way better excuse anyway.
Well, alright, I’ll level with you, one of these two awesome pictures is a fake. Except they’re both fantastic – one displaying a street-side birth, the other with a naked dude climbing out of the trunk of a car. So either way, you’ve got at least one fantastic thing being given to you by your friendly neighborhood stalker/search-engine. SFW, by the way.
You know those times when you’re cruising on your Vespa, hitting the road with particular destination in mind? Perhaps you’re poodling up a mountain – perhaps not. It’s a bright, sunny late afternoon, some might even call it dusk. Light is thrown across the city scape below, and a slightly chilly wind is up. You think to yourself, “I could use some coffee right now”. Well you wouldn’t be able to get any, right? Wrong. So wrong.
Hipster-bashing was a thing on the internet for a while, except then hipsters started doing it to be ironic and the whole thing got sort of uncomfortable for everyone. Except this little gem’s popped up to make it okay again: a fake movie trailer for Charles Bronson Kills Hipsters. From a time when mustaches were sincere.
Hearken, The Cape Town Festival of Beer approaches. A lot of people have asked, does Cape Town really need another beer festival? We’d like to point out that what Cape Town is getting is a Festival of Beer, not a beer festival. What’s the difference? The former is sophisticated and fun. The latter never is. Now, would a certain 2oceansviber like a 2oceansvibe Festival of Beer special? You would? Click through for details.
Cape Town local and epic handcyclist, Andrew Stodel recently cleaned up the majority of the elite competitors in his handcycling field at the New York Marathon, finishing sixth out of 198 professional handcycling athletes. Read his personal account of the race after the jump.
Adriaan Willem Bergh has hit us with yet another video. It’s more of an explanation of his previous masterpiece, in which the auteur explains that there’s no such thing as bad publicity. Right you are, AWB. Adriaan Bergh is the gift that keeps on giving. Let’s get this man on national television, people.
Inventor Haidar Taleb is hitting two birds with one stone, sort of, by crossing all seven United Arab Emirates in a solar powered wheelchair to promote the use of renewable energy and raise awareness about causes for disabilities. Also, he’s going alone. And you can’t drink in most of the Emirates. And it’ll take 11 days. Road trip!
Instead, it’s a video of some dude using a woman and a small child as a seatbelt. Or it’s about hugs. Or maybe they’re saying a woman and child will hug you if you drive a car in Sussex? I’m not totally sure, because the important thing to note here is that somehow this lost […]
