Someone made a very good point today (following our coverage of Die Antwoord), stating that although I have mention Jack Parow and his song “Cooler As Ekke,” and even featured the TaxiJam version, I am yet to show the original music video on 2oceansvibe. Surely not? I had a little look around and, my God, […]
In case you missed it (and you certainly would have heard about it), here is the Zapiro cartoon from the Mail&Guardian. 20 babies in a mass Zuma Baby Shower. It looks like the shower head has been reinstated, after Zapiro decided to give Zuma a break in May last year and detached it from his […]
If you’re in or around your early thirties, you’ll have fond memories of Will Smith’s hit TV series, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. There’s no mistaking those opening lines, “Now this is a story all about how my life got twisted and turned upside down.” Everyone new the words to that song. Seriously, it […]
Chad will be pretty excited about this one. The eternally reclusive and famously private Sade is back with a new album, Soldier of Love, nine years after her last album Lovers Rock (which sold 3 million copies, following an eight year break after the previous album) and 24 years after the killer debut album Diamond […]
Spotted around town.. The Mayor – keeps it simple.. Very cool.. [thanks sox]
Gotta love the Aussies – anything for a bit of tail, especially during working hours. Not shy to take a risk, one financial desk worker had a browse over some naked pics, while a colleague of his was doing a live broadcast in the next room – with the TVcamera’s getting a full view of […]
A traveling carnival sideshow “family” and their supernatural mirror gateway to one’s own imagination is put in jeopardy after they rescue a wanted criminal and go head-to-head in a soul-grabbing game with the Devil incarnate. The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus… intriguing ‘yes’, based on a true story ‘no’! In fact, what Terry Gilliam film isn’t […]
You remember Jack Parow, right? The local rapper who gave us “Cooler as Ekker,” the afrikaans rap song with hilariously sharp lyrics including, “Ek’s ‘n BIC pen, jy’s ‘n Mont Blanc. Jy loop rond met wit skuim op jou mond rand.” Ja well let me introduce you some of Jack Parow’s buddies – Die Antwoord. […]
Some time ago I was nattering about those maximum security prisoners in the Philippine city of Cebu (one L, two P’s… interesting) who did a mass dance formation vibe to Jump by the Pointer Sisters (the ultimate running/gym song – FACT), as well as Thriller, by the late great Michael Jackson. Shamon! Anyway, they’ve done […]
2oceansviber, Craig H, directed me to this absolutely stunning little website. It’s called The Oatmeal (theoatmeal.com) and it seems to cover the most random (yet well-researched) topics you could ever imagine, all presented graphically, in the most beautifully designed cartoons. Take for instance, “Five Reason Pigs Are More Awesome Than You:” Then they proceed to […]
This is very funny. I’ve been sent it by about five billion people so far. I better get it up, before my inbox explodes. Not bad. Not bad at all.. [thanks warrick]
It’s not often that we find ourselves sitting opposite what is commonly referred to as a “supermodel.” That’s what the media around the world has referred to Landi Swanepoel as, ever since she exploded onto the scene a couple years back as the international face of Guess and as “that girl” from the iconic black […]
Donatella Versace (born 2 May 1955) is an Italian fashion designer, as was her brother, the late Gianni Versace, the founder of the Versace clothing brand. Her current title is Vice-President of the Versace Group and Chief Designer of the fashion line. As you may notice from these pictures, she also believes in factor nought […]
Have you ever been fired or had to fire someone? Unless you’re Donald “You’re Fired!” Trump it’s never nice. In fact, the only time it’s considered to have gone well by American standards is if no one died. We think we’re defined by our jobs. These days, it’s the first bland thing anyone ever asks […]
If you don’t know who David Thorne is, I’ll remind you – he is the genius that gave you the “spider drawing” email mayhem. Then there was the “Party in Apartment 3” escapade and the “design me a logo” piece of genius. But he didn’t stop there – our boy decided to give the people […]
Got a very cool “heads-up” in my inbox from a 2oceansviber, directing me to this website which contains 125 rare photos of famous people. It’s quite similar to The Impossible Cool website I told you about some time ago, but this one takes pride in how RARE the photos are – virtually all of them […]
I know my inbox is going to regret opening this Facebook can of worms, but they really are very amusing. We’ve seen the one about the girlfriend who tricks the boyfriend into thinking she was another girl, and we thoroughly enjoyed the one where the brother got his own back on his sister. But today […]
Spotted around town earlier this week. God I love this place. [thanks martin]
I’ll be honest, I’m a big Conan O’Brien fan. But I’m also a big David Letterman fan. Now if any of you have been following the late night TV talk show wars carrying on in the States, involving the NBC network and two of their stars, Jay Leno (The Jay Leno Show) and Conan O’Brien […]
Marisa Miller Thanks for the good times, babe.. Marisa Miller Out At Victoria’s Secret – Marisa Miller may have just placed No. 2 on AskMen.com’s list for the “99 Most Desirable Women of 2010,” but she’s not as popular elsewhere. Sources confirmed that the California stunner is no longer working with Victoria’s Secret. Miller […]
The Twenty Ten Cape Town Tens! BANG! Cape Town Feb 5-7, 2010 It’s back, my friends. Cape Town’s most anticipated rugby social weekend, the Cape Town Tens tournament is gonna kick it just as hard, but bigger, than last year. Do you remember people last year talking about that weekend they had which was more […]
Unlike most city parking meters, Expired hasn’t… The film is about parking enforcement officers (to some “boetabessies”)… you know, the people that stick pretty pink tickets on your windscreen. It may look all sweet and innocent like Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver, but don’t be fooled… it’s an indie film in the league of Punch […]
Ok look, they’ve made this rap song and it’s so damn good I actually don’t know what to do with myself. I’ve sent you to the People of Walmart website before (boom). But now they’ve taken the best of the best from that website and turned it into a rap song. And it’s good. Trust […]
You’ve heard the rumours and now you can take it as gospel – SA’s first REAL edgy reality show launched last week. MAN TV, the 13-episode reality show following four single men around Cape Town as they try to pick up chicks and explain what goes on in their heads is sure to impress. I’ve […]
They say it’s important to write your goals down – then they become more real and more attainable. Whilst this may be good in a business sense, some lists should perhaps never be written down. Take, for example, the case of Chris and Katie, the Asian kids whose sibling rivalry spun out of control. Read […]
I tell you, there is never a dull moment in Provence! Luckily, with the proximity of the Menerbes bastide to the likes of movie Director, Ridley Scott’s house, we are able to pick up on news that might otherwise have slipped through the net! Take, for example, the woes of Ridley, who has now lost […]
He has it all, old “Ali”. The “Herbalist of the Year 2009,” we are told. And my GOD is he skilled! There are simply too many skills to mention. He’ll increase your penis size and make sure you win in court! “No matter what stage” of the court proceedings, he goes on to say. This […]
I got a DM (Direct Tweet) with a web link from @thegoodcount the other day. All it said was, “You owe me a six pack” plus the link. Wow. Now I get a lot of crap in my inbox from you lot out there and I’m quite well tuned into what is and isn’t rubbish. […]
Nothing needs to be said. You’ll get the vibe as you read it. Just hold onto your seat – it’s toooo special! I just LOVED the comeback! No, I was JOKING!! Pick up the phone.. Brilliant! *cough* …evil, twisted cow. [thanks marcus]
Everyone is raving about these “Authentic Sessions” at Cafe Caprice, featuring local musicians and DJ’s in the DJ box, spinning tunes that they feel have been an influence on their music and their vibe in general. 340ml are playing tonight – apparently it’s gonna be “off the chain.” Zebra & Giraffe on Friday (don’t tell […]
