I remember when I got my first copy of the latest Dirty Skirts album, Daddy Don’t Disco – I nearly wet myself the whole way through. And then came the track that is currently all over the airwaves – “Rolling Like Thunder.” As much of the fan that I am, I couldn’t actually believe what […]

I wasn’t around at the time, but there is something incredibly cool about New York movies I’ve watched based in the 1950’s. I’ve always loved the vibe. The post-Capone era, when TV had just come about and James Dean was doing his thing. But most of all, I dig the restaurant vibe that one sees […]

I took a double take, nay, a triple take this weekend as I browsed through the property section of the Weekend Argus. The first thing that jumped out of the Vineyard Estates page was the fact that the estate agent featured for the one property had a superimposed bow-tie on. How bizarre, I thought to […]

This article is by no means an endorsement of any party, nor is it an indication of who I will be voting for. It is just a brief word about how impressed I am with Trevor Manuel, and that the opposition parties and leaders might want to take a leaf out of his book. You […]

So some friends from L.A. rolled into town for a week and managed to pack in quite a bit. They stayed at the new One & Only hotel (review pending – the jury is still out) at the V&A Waterfront and headed out each day, ticking off the various adventures to be had. It was […]

Whoah, there hasn’t been an auction on the Camps Bay strip since the place next door to Caprice, now occupied by The Grand Cafe, went for around R40 million sometime last year.

This is good. These guys have put together a spoof of the Twitter craze sweeping the world. This time it’s called Flutter and instead of a maximum of 140 characters per message, it’s a max of 26 characters. It’s really well done and nearly a carbon copy of a genuine doccie I watched on the […]

This fellow can be found at Vida e in Camps Bay. I enjoy him.   Soso   Unlike his coffe (which is amazing), his name is “Soso .” No, I am not spicing you. I just hope that when people ask him what his name is, he holds out his hand flat and, before they […]

I very nearly bought a couple of golden circle tickets for this year’s Coke Zero Fest in Cape Town after my G-Man reminded me it was taking place on Monday. You see, as I was about to book tickets for The Muse and me, I found out that it wasn’t in it’s usual place (Kenilworth […]

Phil Spector is one of the most famous and eccentric music producers of all time having worked with the likes of The Beatles, Tina Turner, The Righteous Brothers and The Ramones. He was the originator of the “Wall of Sound” production technique, and was responsible for over 25 Top 40 hits between 1960 and 1965, […]

The last TBG sighting was back in January, which is quite understandable; given the amount of joy and bliss that the great man spreads around the world on a daily basis. He can’t be in Cape Town ALL the time. His attention to detail and time he makes for “the little people” is nothing short […]

The other day I asked all my Tweeps on Twitter to Twat me their favourite songs to play at gym, as I was making a new mix. They sent some beauties, some of which I used. Then I used an incredibly powerful section of my brain to think of some more. And then it hit […]

I saw an old BMW 850 on the road the other day and I still got a bit of tingle – thinking back to how it felt when I first saw one as a kid. God they were cool. they’re still cool. The mind blowing thing about it, was that the shape of the car […]

In an unprecedented move and in response to my recent laments (here and here) about the very dire Cape Town Daim chocolate shortage, I have received a pack of Daim chocolates in the mail from a 2oceansvibe reader!   Hmm – what’s this?

I can’t really comment as I have a NUMBER of pink garments, including socks and underwear. Everyone knows only real men can wear pink, although it is certainly not the norm. But now it looks like the recession has caused some kind of lipstick related trend showing a rise in sales of pink men’s underwear, […]

I didn’t want to get into this, as it is clearly a publicity stunt of sorts, but the emails don’t seem to be stopping and I simply have to say SOMETHING about it.

Just yesterday I was taking a bubble bath at The Safe House and sent out a twat about the provocative Armani ad campaign (here ), depicting a woman removing a man’s clothing – revealing quite a lot, I thought.
