We recently brought you the exclusive footage of the U2 concert in Milan (here), featuring their new mind-blowing stage which seems to defy all laws of gravity and stage building. Now while it is awesome to look at night time, one wonders what it might look like in the day. To the naked eye. Well […]
I spent the night at The Muse ‘s place at Harbour Edge on Sunday night. We woke up in the middle of the night at some Godforsaken hour, with the intercom ringing. It’s an incredibly loud sound that it gives and, for a moment, I genuinely thought we were under attack. It went on for […]
I was invited to an exhibition in Johannesburg which I’m unable to attend as I’ll be out of the country (I’ll tell you about that at a later stage – think Los Angeles). The background and story about the exhibition was so impressive that I was compelled to tell you about it – especially our […]
It’s been a while since I attended a big rock concert. I prefer more intimate scenarios, when they play private gigs for 50 people or so – which is often the case when you roll like this. That said, I heard that a friend of a friend recently attended a U2 concert in Milan which, […]
It’s interesting to note that Dirty Skirts lead guitarist, David Moffatt, sent this in. Michael Jackson is obviously one of his major influences – I had no idea. I’ve been given their latest album another listen, trying to pic up some MJ flavour…. but I can’t find it. But Dave does dance sexy – so […]

It’s weird, I was just about to write a story about this new Louis Vuitton watch with mysterious floating hands. It’s called the Louis Vuitton Tambour Mysterieuse (please appreciate that name) and it costs $250,000. The Louis Vuitton Tambour Mysterieuse CLICK HERE to see the chest it comes in But then I received […]
Pattie Maes from Media Lab gave this TED talk, regarding a new invention/development they’re working on called “Sixth Sense.” Before we get to the video, I thought I’d fill you in on the vibe. ‘SixthSense’ is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use […]
This post is really a big thank you to the regulars for keeping 2oceansvibe at the top – the first in South Africa, ahead of both The Times Multimedia and Mail & Guardian‘s online conglomerate. Here is a screenshot taken this week showing the “Most Visited” rankings on Afrigator, South Africa and Africa’s leading social […]
Those of you who watch the Rock Paper Scissors championships on ESPN (footage here) will know that these tournaments are no joke. Some people think that anyone can be good at RPS. No, no, my friend – this is not the case. Neighbourhood & Olmeca Edición Black Tequila are proud to present Cape […]
This story is getting more and more true every day. I hadn’t mentioned it to you before now because it was a bit too sensational. That, and the fact that Morgan Freeman is playing Nelson Mandela (see in-character pics here) in the upcoming movie Invictus (*ahem* alongside 2oceansvibe character The Adventurer who is playing Brendan […]
One of the 2oceansvibe readers were cruising around Gumtree, trying to find a place to rent. As one might expect from a 2oceansviber, she wasn’t shy to peruse some places in Clifton. That’s when she stumbled upon this little BEAUT! 3 bed, Fully Itatlian Furnished Clifton beach house Ad ID: 139760893 Hi All you […]
Just when you think you’ve seen and heard it all, 2oceansvibe goes and brings you a WORLD EXCLUSIVE – David Hasselhoff speaking Afrikaans ! David Hasselhof “Baie Dankie” These RARE original recordings were made by London Capital FM’s Johnny Vaughan (2oceansvibe’s “The UK Showbiz Guy“) and David Hasselhof during a secret recording session […]
I was unaware that Jackie Kennedy (Onassis) and her brother-in-law, Robert Kennedy , had an affair following the death of JFK. Were you aware? According to a New York Post article about the new book, Jackie Kennedy had a four-year love affair with Bobby Kennedy that began not long after JFK’s assassination and grew so […]
I am often asked how my friend Billy Zane and I became acquainted – a meeting which resulted in an interview with the Titanic star on one of the 2oceansvibe shows. “Quite simple,” I usually tell them, “Marina took care of the Harley Davidson launch (here ) a few months back and Billy was there.” […]
Wow, this is something to add to the voices in your head asking why exactly you live in London. A recent study has found that violent crime is higher in the UK per capita, than it is in South Africa. This, from the Daily Mail : The most violent country in Europe: Britain […]
I am writing this from a café somewhere in Paris as The Muse downs another glass of rosé and the waiters eyeball me, wondering when exactly we will be ordering dinner (I’m going for the fish). That said, this is going to be a quick one. But an important one, nonetheless. It’s to do with […]
Wow, things are really going full circle. Would you believe it, but Michael Jackson’s Thriller is the number one selling album on iTunes and Amazon say that Jackson’s albums had taken 14 of the top 20 places on the Amazon.co.uk sales chart. Michael Jackson Thriller TimesOnline reports: A secret library of over […]
The Kitesurfer (very good looking, single, good pedigree) is known for his DIY expertise and hands-on nature when it comes to virtually anything. From home-made beer and wine, to potato guns and the restoration of vintage cars… he’s done it all. Except this.. Please enjoy “the flying boat” – he sent me this video and […]
Cape Town suffers from late night drunk texts just as much (possibly a tad more) as the rest of the world. You know the ones. When you wake up in the morning and see a string of “WHERE ARE YOU???” texts and booty calls from various girls and boys, sent at 3am. Or, should I […]
Spare a thought for the guys that probably killed Michael Jackson – AEG Live – the company behind the ridiculously impossible upcoming lineup of 50 Michael Jackson Comeback concerts. Dubbed “This is it” – it seems it just might be for the company. Especially since they were hardly able to insure the ticket sales and […]
Oh my God! Look at this! We do not have all the info at the mo, but what we do have are these pictures and the report below. Photo from Life Is Savage (Courtesy of Grant Hood) Photo courtesy of @heinkoen This, from News24: Cape Town – A container carrying potentially harmful […]
Judging by the amount of people sending the link to me, you CLEARLY missed the mention and video of Jordy Smith’s Rodeo Flip we featured last week Friday (here). Shame, maybe you should stop skimming over things? And maybe you should stop sending things before checking they haven’t been featured on 2oceansvibe? Funnily enough, I […]
Remember a few days ago (here) where we suggested they follow up on this fat kid vibe? Ja, well they’ve gone and done it. For those of you who missed this whole Megan Fox Rose Boy vibe which has been going on for a couple weeks (there are always a few), BASICALLY this cute little […]
Some of you will recall the incredible story reported by the BBC and the Guardian (here) with regards to the teenager who drew a massive 60-foot penis on the roof of his parents mansion in West Berkshire. He wanted to see if it would be picked up by Google Earth. His parents found out about […]
I don’t read a lot of books and when I do they usually have to be non-fiction and/or biographies. It takes a lot for me to pick one up on recommendation and, when I do get to that point, I usually don’t get past half way. I’m happy to say that this is not the […]
Monday saw the much anticipated Jordy Smith signing session at Roddy’s Kommetjie Surf Shop . Apparently it was off.the.hizzo! The Film Guy (the genius behind the Randall Abrahams Rocky video) was there and, having recognised him from the 2oceansvibe Characters list, Jordy put a little something together for me! Check it out! How […]
Jeepers, Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova threw out a very cool old school vibe during the first round of Wimbledon yesterday. Reminiscent of the styles of yesteryear and, dare I say, Harry Flashman, it seems the on court fashion stakes are pretty high this year. A quick game of tennis, wot?[source] General Sharapova[source] […]
Do you remember the other day I featured (here ) that picture painted on a wall in Cape Town of the “Simunyes?” You know, the African style ripoff of The Simpsons? Let’s get a quick recap of that. The eSimpowenis Well, either way, I got an email from Eric at Springleap who told […]
This article comes as a general warning to those of you with South African passports wishing to travel to the US or Europe via the United Kingdom. I URGE you to use another hub of sorts, as the new requirements for a simple transit visa are EXACTLY the same as if you were applying for […]
