31 December, 1985, brought the closing of an era. After 35 years, Springbok Radio, our very first commercial radio station, closed it’s doors. If you don’t remember it then I can guarantee your parents will go all misty eyed at the mention of it. Give it a try. And then tell them they can access […]
So we’ve established that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are overs, and that she has been bonking New York Yankee, Alex Rodriguez. We also gather that she referred to Guy Ritchie as Emotionally Retarded at a concert in Boston last week and the messiness of their divorce promises to rival that of Paul McCartney and The […]
Well the ex-pats in Dubai are in for a treat of note! See what I did there? I said “of note” because Goldfish are musical and music is written using music NOTES! I come up with stuff like this the WHOLE TIME! But seriously, to all the South Africans living in Dubai, do yourselves a […]
I haven’t made up my mind about the song itself, but I’ll give Britney the thumbs-up for taking a proven winning formula and repackaging it. Britters in her new music video It’s a given that the music video for her original smash hit Baby One More Time had a lot to do with the […]
I spotted this motor vehicle on the way to Rocking The Daisies. Initially I got very excited, as I thought that perhaps the Bee Gees were playing a surprise set at the festival. Oh my God! That’s not BARRY, is it? I peered into the driver’s window as we overtook the car. Alas, […]
Mary J Blige has always kept a special place in our hearts. Ever since 1992, when the Founders House standard 8 dorm killed the hit Real Love on the dorm sound system (Calypso). Not to be mistaken with the evil that is Gabrielle, Mary J Blige is nothing but good times. The remix of her […]
Here’s a pic of Beyonce (or “buoyancy,” as The Muse calls her) taken last week. Just cruising around. Is that what they call an “entourage?” Everything is normal I dig how her body language and facial expression put out a vibe that everything is absolutely fine with this picture. I shouldn’t talk, I hardly […]

I received some awesome entries for the Rocking The Daisies VIP ticket competition, which closed on Monday. You might remember the two winners, who won a pair of VIP tickets each. That’s right – Vee Eye Pee, my mate! Although the competition is over, I simply have to publish this pic I received on Tuesday […]
I’m not sure if it was their intention, but I could barely breathe from laughter as I watched a guy in a hoodie dancing in the window at the Apple Store in Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront shopping centre, a few weeks back. I knelt down on my knees and thanked God that I had my […]

I received word from The Adventurer that Steve Jobs is launching the new generation iPods today. This will include a new feature on iTunes called “Genius.” Surprisingly, this has got nothing to do with DJ Fresh whatsoever. The iPod Nano – as before The Times Online reports: A new generation of iPods […]
I love it when chicks take swipes at each other in public. Like this fine example featuring Elton John and Lily Allen which took place on Tuesday night, as the pair hosted the GQ Men of the Year Awards. Elton and Lily during happier times Time online reports: In front of a […]
The Insurance Broker is no doubt in his element today as the gloved one turns 50! No matter how hard he tried, Michael couldn’t get rid of the smell. This, from MSNBC: Michael Jackson turns 50 on Friday. What do you get for the man who has everything, including a killer discography, […]
This, from Musicradar.com: I enjoy how it says, “signed, sealed and delivered” Brian Epstein’s personal copy of the first fully-signed agreement between himself and The Beatles goes under the hammer on 4 September at The Fame Bureau’s It’s More Than Rock And Roll memorabilia auction. Taking place at London’s Idea Generation Gallery, the […]
God bless Chris T who saved us from certain suicide as he emailed us the song that everyone has been emailing in about. I must say it is quite embarrassing to be the last to know. It doesn’t happen very often. I apologise. But now, I must tell you about this song. For those of […]
My iPod has a myriad of songs on it, ranging from the classics to cheesy pop, with an emphasis on Laura Branigan. That was a joke…..in a way. Moving on, I like to cater for all types and there are many CDs ripped onto my iPod that may not be my cup of tea. That […]
