So The Advertising Guy has Kia cars as one of his clients in the US (based in L.A. baby!). He got in touch with me and said he was looking for a sick tune for a new ad he was doing for Kia. Goldfish came up during the conversation and I said I’d take care […]
I really do hope that Randall Abrahams doesn’t think all the negative press is a compliment to how well he is playing his “nasty” character on SA Idols. I must make it radiantly clear that this is not the case. Unlike in the US, where people “hate” the nasty judge, Simon Cowell (they do actually […]
JT hasn’t dropped much from the dizzy heights he achieved in our ratings, following his GENIUS Dick in a Boxvideo. And now he goes and nails it again – this time with Beyonce and the song Single Ladies. Pushing it.. [thanks jacki]
Covers have really taken off since Britney’s covered I love Rock ‘n Roll. The last George Michael cover that I recall was Limp Bizkit’s rendition of Faith. That was a pretty hard version and I thought it interesting that this latest cover of a George Michael song has been performed by a hard rock band. […]
The first time I heard this song, Sideways (or anything by Citizen Cope, for that matter), was about a year ago. It was a rehashed version with Carlos Santana, which Citizen Cope’s staunch faithful believe over-punctuated the song, taking away too much from Cope’s (Clarence Greenwood) intention. Personally I loved it. Enjoying Rolling Stone reports […]
Just enjoy it.. Ai No Corrida Quincy Jones Words & Music: C. Jankel – Young K. Fred Notes : Reprise du titre de “Chaz Jankel” du groupe “Number One” I hold you, I touch you In a maze can’t find my way I think you, I drink you I’m being served you on a […]
Yes, it was a cover. Do you know where they got the name “Mony Mony” from? I’ll tell you my love, because I want you to be a better person. You’ll be a fruitbowl of knowledge by the time I’m finished with you! Enjoy this from a site I’ve just launched called Wikipedia: “Mony […]
Chris Brown, Umbrella star Rihanna’s boyfriend, klapped her after a pre-Grammy party. He subsequently turned himself in and was arrested. They did not attend the Grammy’s, even though they were both due to perform. Rihanna and her boyfriend, Chris Brown This, from The Times: R&B singer Chris Brown failed to turn up […]
Originally written by Lucio Dalla in 1986, the song is dedicated to Enrico Caruso, one of the most famous tenors. Covered by many, the most memorable is pretty much this exact rendition by the late great Luciano Pavarotti . Put those speakers on full volume, pause the video to let it load fully, sit back, […]
I was watching the Durban auditions of Idols last night on channel 198 and the farce seems to be going ahead for this, the fifth (God help us all) season. And whilst you might not remember who won last year’s competition, you needn’t worry as it looks like they’re finally closing up shop. Dave Thompson […]
Personally, I’m fine with it. My bathroom habits are few and far between. It’s all a bit tedious, really. Like brushing my teeth – Christ, it bores me! And going for a number two – seriously, I don’t have that much time. I’m in and I’m out. I take a magazine from time to time, […]
I’m bringing back Aerosmith at the moment, so I hope you’re all cool with that? ‘cos everyone will be playing it again within the next two weeks and you should get used to it. I’ve got Janie’s Got a Gun blaring full tilt in The Safe House right now as I type this. Seriously, YOU […]
I’m sure a lot of my gorgeous readers out there have missed the news about South African cricketer, AB de Villiers , releasing a pop song. Were you aware? Not? Ok, it’s quite important that you see this. It’s a pearler.. You might want to check that out again. You don’t have to […]
It doesn’t get much better than this. Genius Why didn’t YOU think of that? Jeez, guys – WAKE UP! Check out an original T-shirt (where they got the idea) here. I doubt I have to tell you who RUN DMC are, right? No I don’t. Because it’s like that, and that’s the way it is. […]
A number of people have emailed me this video so I thought I’d pop up the YouTube clip, rather than receiving anymore 3Mb files. You do know that 90% of the clips people send around are also available on Youtube, right? No problem. Ok, this is pretty hysterical. It features a particularly overweight gent dancing […]
A couple months back I told you about Taxijam, the incredible new underground music video concept featuring artists playing in the back of a local taxi. Started by 2oceansvibe Character The Film Guy (Richard) and his cousin Simon, it’s gaining rapid momentum and has featured the likes of 2oceansvibe’s favourite The Dirty Skirts and our […]
Shame, this is particularly emboerrissing, as we watch some video clips of Walk the Line star, Joaquin Phoenix making his musical debut Friday night at Vegas night club LAVO as a homeless rapper. Radical shit This, from thesuperficial: The Oscar nominee jumped around the stage while performing/smoking for a perplexed crowd who […]
You know sometimes when someone says something and a few days later something very similar happens? Ja, well anyway, I call it a “premonition.” People then also sometimes spice it a bit and stretch the amazingness of the particular premonition by clutching onto what we in the industry refer to as “fuck all.” Like someone […]
Before we chat about that, I thought I should just mention that this year’s Coke Fest (now called CokeZero Fest ’09) is featuring Oasis as its headline act. That’s right. You heard it here first. Other bands on the bill at this stage include Snow Patrol…and the Dirty Skirts. I know. Pretty rad. Now check […]
It’s not often the energies of the universe pull together to give us things like this. Scott Macintrye is a contestant on the latest American Idol which is on at the moment. Scott Macintrye is blind. Ryan Seacrest is the host of American Idol and is therefore fully aware that Scott is blind. That’s why […]
I would prefer it if you played this on full volume. Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress by The Hollies Saturday night I was downtown Working for the FBI Sitting in a nest of bad men Whiskey bottles piling high Bootlegging boozer on the west side Full of people who are doing wrong […]
I throughly enjoyed this little number sent in by Dave L: Hi Seth, I thought you would enjoy this one. Jerry Barnard (the muso) asked me to look after his car while he was away, so I made a few modifications to it, look carefully and see if you can spot them. Stunning […]
The sax solo was basically my idea. Never Tear Us Apartby INXS Dont ask me What you know is true Dont have to tell you I love your precious heart I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided And they could never tear us apart We could live For a thousand years […]
Kid Rock is possibly one of the last true rock stars left. Not only is he not helping orphans in Africa, but he is also refusing to stop wearing fur. So much so that he has told PETA to bring it on! Kid RockDoesn’t give a toss British Sunday Mail reports: “I […]
You would never be expected to get your head around it, so don’t even try – I would never put that much pressure on you. Puff Daddy has just launched his new fragrance called “I AM KING” which falls under his Sean John clothing brand. He felt it necessary to make a 5 minute mini-movie […]
It had to happen. It’s just too much for the freaks’ brains out there. You know, actually auditioning on live TV, and in direct contact with “superstars” like Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell and Randy “Swazi” Jackson. Now look what you’ve done – this, from the New York Post: An “American Idol” reject who was […]
Some buddies of mine (including The Film Guy) have started this very cool Cape Town concept, called Taxi Jam. You can check out their website here. In a sentence : Taxi Jam is a selection of South Africa’s finest creative talent performing in an intimate 5 minute taxi ride. It’s pretty fucking cool and I […]
We’re at the end of October and, before the boys start growing their moustaches for the month of Movember (NOTE: WE ARE ALL GROWING OUR MOUSTACHES FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER – FACT), I thought we should play something upbeat. Well, as usual, the real reason why we’re playing this tune is it gave me […]
It’s extreme from the North Pole to the fields and streets of South Africa this week on Luv Sport, SA’s number 1 multi-sport magazine show, Friday night, 21h10 on Supersport 1 (channel 201). Ok to put it into perspective, you should be aware that Lewis Pugh has been on Jay Leno. Can you grasp that? […]
I was pretty impressed when The Muse returned from London with some vinyl for DC (Daddy Cool). She apparently went into some uber trendy record shop and told the guy behind the counter to help her chose some “must have” albums. Must have been quite a clever guy she was talking to, because she left […]
