Regular 2oceansvibers will be aware of the term ‘Lake-Lake,’ which is a game the Radlantic Ocean plays from time to time. What it does is it pretends to be a lake – ie. dead still. The photo above was taken this morning from The Safe House (using our iPhone 4 from Digicape and photos stitched […]
Judge Finds SABC Guilty Of Lying – A HIGH court judge in Johannesburg has found the SABC guilty of manipulating the news in 2005 and 2006, in a ruling that will boost criticism of the way the public broadcaster covers politics. Judge Neels Claassen ruled in the South Gauteng High Court that there had been widespread […]
Okay, now a revelation: I have a degree in Information Science. So there, now you know. Here I leap out of the nerd closet and admit that I have a thing for cool tech projects and nothing I have ever seen is as cool as this.

Facebook Mark Zuckerberg’s New Home – Zuckerberg’s new place is in the same small Palo Alto neighborhood of College Terrace as his old four-bedroom house, which was put up for rent last month.

Cape Town Temperatures Soar – With no wind to cool the vibe down, temperatures in the Mother City have reached unprecedented levels over the past few days, with many drivers noticing their in-car temperature gauges displaying some alarming figures. 51 degrees is the highest we have seen so far. [2oceansvibe] Cop Shoots Cricket Official – […]
Look, make no mistake, it’s bloody hot. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard Capetonians deliver the classic, “Fuck it’s hot hey?” Indeed it is, and the lack of wind makes it even hotter. Not that we’re complaining – this is fine, especially after that 10 day hurricane we had in December! Judging […]
I’m not sure if you caught the live financial indicators on the right-hand side of the page, but the Rand is absolutely KILLING it against the US Dollar. At the current rate, I’m renting movies from the US iTunes store at R26 a shot – and some of them haven’t even hit the circuit here in SA. Let me show you how.
Dawn at The Safe House – 31 December 2010 Mickey Rourke To Play Gay Rugby Star – He’s not going to make a film about a gay rugby player. He’s going to make one about a rugby player who happens to be gay. That’s how Mickey Rourke put it this week when he revealed his […]
Well the proof certainly is in the pudding, as reports show over 5,000 downloads of the 2oceansvibe app, in just over a month. It works out to about 65 downloads a day, which confirms that we’re on the right track.

I wanted to ease off telling you about all the amazing things my new MINI Countryman can do, as I didn’t want you to get MINI-lash. But damnit it’s hard to do that when a music video started playing on my iPhone (I had it on random) and it appeared on the dashboard. Come on […]
We quietly dominated Dunes in Hout Bay for Ard Matthews and Just Jinjer’s ninth-year-in-a-row performance on Saturday afternoon. And what a killer day it was. The mussels were great, the babes were awesome, and band was just sublime. They played all the hits – new and old. Including one of my faves, Like You Madly – check the video!
If you’re tired of paying Top Rond for voice calls, you should definitely get on this bandwagon. The new Viber app for iPad and iPhone allows you to make free VOIP (voice over internet protocol) voice calls. It works swimmingly with a moderate WiFi connection, and is the bomb-diggity on 3G.

It would be disingenuous to say that we weren’t all wriggling like little girls at the prospect of Public Enemy’s Chuck D’s arrival at the 2oceansvibe fishbowl studios in the Cape Quarter. Check out his 20 minute on-air interview.
It’s the Premier Show on Friday this morning, ladies and gentlemen.
And it’s pretty much a feast of fashion on the show this morning, not least because we have GQ South Africa’s Best Dressed Man and a Rupert Everett dopleganger on the mics this morning. No sir.
The Grammy Award-Winning artist and singer of the much-popularised single, Hide And Seek is coming to our temperate shores in early 2011. She’ll be playing in Johannesburg and Cape Town for two nights only, respectively. Check out the details after the jump!
That’s right my lovelies. The beach boys. At the Cape Quarter. More specifically, in our studio, this morning, at 1oh00. I don’t think there’s much more to be said here, except that you can book tickets for their South African gigs right here. Make sure to tune in before 10hoo if you’d like to listen […]
Rarely has a Friday been so laden with goodies and elements of weekend happiness.
We’re talking models, Corona Beer, and of course, while we’re at it, Mini. The Mini Countryman, to be exact, but more of that after the jump.
SA Uber-DJ and ex-Good Hope FM Friday night DJ, Dean Fuel, has joined the 2oceansvibe Radio team.

Many of you will be aware of the mobile application called Shazam, which allows your phone to identify nearly any song playing in close vicinity. Incredibly, we often get into deep chats about how Shazam works, never actually doing the obvious and asking Google. That’s why I’ve finally gone and done it – I’ve found […]
I cruised up to Johannesburg on Friday morning with La Muse, The Dude and Salty. We were up for the highly anticipated launch of the new MINI Countryman. I checked the weather report and it mentioned the late 20’s, so I thought we might as well stay until Sunday evening. I mean, there could be worse things than lounging at The Westcliff Pool, right?
Today’s 2oceansvibe Radio line up is pretty spicy.
We have the Dirty Skirts in at 09h30, chased by the editor of Playboy South Africa, washed down with a little Sex In The Mother City with Doctor D. It’s basically all about prescribed psychotherapeutic drugs, sex, and rock n’ roll on 2oceansvibe Radio this morning.
It is well understood that there are two oceans on either side of South Africa and 2oceansvibe should therefore not be restricted to just Cape Town. That’s probably why we recently launched the “What’s the vibe in Jozi” segment on 2oceansvibe Radio and have also incorporated a 5-day weather report for Johannesburg as well!
It’s a Monday, so to cheer you all up, we ordered a double helping of sunshine, and one helping of South Africa’s top Afro-Pop group, Freshly Ground. Moreover, they’ll be jamming a small acoustic set. Correct, your eyes do not deceive you. Click through for details of how to tune in.
