Popular South African band, Freshly Ground, have suffered a potentially massive blow to their revenue stream after the Zimbabwean authorities banned the group from traveling or performing in Zimbabwe.
With the movie The Social Network coming out next month, Facebook really is the talk of the town. Or talk of the earth, I should rather say. The excitement relating to Facebook is largely to do with the speed at which its grown in such a short time. It is relatively new in our lives. […]
Mr. M. Night Shyamalan has systematically made the wrong decision at every turn in this film adaptation of the beloved Nickelodeon anime series, Avatar: The Last Airbender. From controversial casting decisions to a lackluster 3D post-production hack job, The Last Airbender is an incomprehensible, detached and languishing fantasy adventure, which is only buoyed by its […]
We’ve got a fairly massive story that has just broken. Ard Matthews from Just Jinjer chopped off his famous dreadlocks this weekend after losing a bet. Check this out: You know what this means – anyone attending his concert on Thursday with Theo Crous, Vusi motherfreaking Mahlasela, Plush, iScream, Jack Mantis, Louise Day (smoking hot) […]
Wow, and there I was thinking we were confused! With our London taxis on the roads and people singing Ole Ole at the sports stadiums, we certainly are a melting pot of cultures and have become professionals at ‘borrowing’ foreign nation’s ideas, pastimes and even sayings. Not that there is anything wrong with that – […]

Haters gonna hate… On Tuesday Andy Roddick, the current darling of United States tennis, reminded everyone who might have begun to believe otherwise that he does indeed have the temperament of an infant. After protesting a foot fault call by a line judge, which was proved to be correct by video replay, Roddick postured for […]
Occasionally, when I’m not rocking out to AC/DC, I look around and realise that there’s more to life than three-chord, blues based hard rock. There are also bands that don’t seem to conform to any particular genre, bands that invade our collective consciousness through their sheer force of creativity – their sounds so fresh and […]
If you don’t know about this yet, you’re probably the last person – so I’m glad to be of service! This, from JustJared : Check out this new song from Cee Lo Green! Cee Lo Green takes off into the stratosphere! The insanely catchy “F— You,” which has logged over 4 million views on YouTube, […]
Hahaha! This is pretty funny – sent in by all sorts of people and has clearly becoming a bit of a hit on Twitter and other “social medias.” Well done to thatmandie, who posted it on YouTube. “Hitler is disgusted to find out that his blog did not crack enough nominations for the 2010 SA […]

Salt was originally written with the intention of becoming an espionage action-thriller with Tom Cruise as the lead. However, when Cruise backed out of the production… Jolie substituted the big name Mission: Impossible star and the script was rewritten for a female lead. Salt’s loosely modeled on the Bourne series with short, sharp bursts of […]
Those of you connected to a neat little trick called the internet (I hear it’s getting quite big) may know that the 62nd annual Emmy Awards went off without nary a hitch last night. At least, that would be the opinion of everyone besides the event’s host, Jimmy Falon. Much to Jimmy’s chagrin, Ricky Gervais […]

There’s a cess-pit of bad football films out there. Of course, the discerning viewer will recognise that Any Given Sunday rises above the sentiment and excrement that makes up 90% of the movies in this drama. It’s a great film. There’s plenty of old-school Pacino filth and grit in there. And there’s that one, iridescent […]
We chatted the other day about this new concept in the East, which presents uncaptured TV news in animated form. A good example would be the scene where Steve Slater grabbed two beers and jumped out the plane. None of this was caught on camera but apparently in China they got a good idea of […]
Similar, much? 2oceansvibe was abuzz in Friday afternoon with news that Russian statesman, Vladimir Putin, had cross-bowed a whale. But we thought it was worth the time to point out, on record, that Putin only spends part of his time shooting sea behemoths from rubber dingies, swimming in frozen Siberian lakes, hunting Brown Bears with […]
Are you underpaid, undervalued, and sidelined at work? Are you feeling brave? Then QUIT! QUIT I TELL YOU! Everyone else is striking, why not one-up those public-sector amateurs? But if you’re going to do it, you absolutely have to do it in style, like (yes, we know it’s fake), or this. But writing, photography, and […]
We were chatting about Heather Graham and her “Roller Girl” character from the movie Boogie Nights (starring Mark Wahlberg) the other day on 2oceansvibe Radio and, more to the point, the fact that her parents no longer speak to her. They’re very religious, you see, and apparently that is somehow linked to their disapproval of […]
Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone ripped off Walt Disney’s Fantasia… well, at least the title of that famous 10-minute symphonic clip of Mickey Mouse and his magic shrooms brooms. Seventy years later we have the live-action The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, which has taken revenge on Harry Potter with a knock-off adventure. It’s a vicious cycle […]

James: Doesn’t take hints well Every now and then Bond movies get a little bit carried away with themselves, and throw the baby out with the bath water. The baby would be logic, and the bath water would be narrative. Remember Quantum of Solace? Or the airport scene from Live and Let Die? Remember any […]
Word is afoot that a film version of my all time favourite childhood comic, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is in the works, with the writers of the Iron Man franchise on the case. Although, whether this film will work for the generation that actually cared about the comic remains to be seen. After all, […]
Just when you thought the joke was about to get tired, someone brings out another Jay Z / Alicia Keys New York State Of Mind rip-off, and absolutely kills it! This one is to do with online entrepreneurs, “startups” and social media in general. It is so goddamn brilliant and funny I might urge you […]
Exxon Mobil positions it’s brand at the vanguard of innovating clean energy for the world. It has a clean, 21st century look. The employees on it’s corporate advertising posters are friendly, sharply dressed, multi-ethnic. It produces print advertisements in National Geographic like this: And they like to chat quite a bit about water on their […]
Being a rapper is good for business. Or rather, “bidness, yo”. So much so that Forbes has compiled a list of the top ten highest-grossing rap artists of the last year, subtly titled “Hip Hop Cash Kings” And it goes somethin’ a little like THIS, fool.
Online encyclopedia and paragon of humankind’s collective knowledge, WikiPedia, has proven it’s unbridled accuracy once again. Remember the story about WikiPedia referring to Sepp Blatter as a dickhead? And how the South African presidency made the fatal error of pulling that corrupted biographical info from WikiPedia and pasted it on their site? Well, we hope […]
Screw G.I. Joe, The A-Team are the quintessential All-American action heroes from the ’80s… destined to be everyone’s favourite crack commando squad of mercenaries from now until the end of time. I can tell… I had a Murdock action figure (don’t judge me). Action, adventure, comedy and mild peril… The A-Team had it all and […]
The greatest Canadian scourge since Brandon Huntley Celine Dion, Justin Bieber stirs grown men to panic. The vapid, androgynous, lesbo-chic music has taken the pubescent world by storm, and the boy girl with the pudding bowl kop chop seems to wield genuine power. As demonstrated by his latest foray into social networking, where he tweeted […]
