Make sure you listen to The Bailey Schneider Show on 2oceansvibe Radio between 14h00 and 15h00 later to catch Seth Rotherham interviewing Jeff Arnett, Master […]
That is half price of what they usually cost, and it comes with a one-year warranty. I’m not sure if you can get a better deal than this and I cannot emphasise enough how good TomTom is. I use TomTom every time I go to Johannesburg and it becomes necessary more than you would think […]
Associated Magazines CEO Jane Raphaely visited the 2oceansvibe Radio studio on Thursday morning, on the Hardiman Versus Williams show. Jane spoke at length about the launch of her candid biography, Jane Raphaely Unedited, which is available from all leading book stores. Besides being a fantastically interesting woman, Jane was frank and honest concerning her life, and the growth of […]
Just look at the photo of this guy here. See how relaxed he is? He’s at home, churning out apps for businesses and raking in the cash. Those are double-glaze windows in the background – those don’t come cheap. Our boy needs those so he doesn’t get interrupted while he is ‘conceptualising.’ Which is what […]
2oceansvibe’s bi-weekly sports columnist, Sean Wilson, puts his judgment hands together and asks just how many chances Wynand Olivier deserves to prove himself at the top level of professional rugby, when Francois Steyn’s statistics – and hair – trump Wynand at every turn. No-one can divide rugby opinion in South Africa quite like Wynand Olivier can. It […]
Lee Dyer, one of six men caught on tape in a violent altercation at the Top Gear festival this last weekend, has approached 2oceansvibe with his version of how events unfolded. Dyer insists that he and a friend, Trevor, the two tattooed men standing in the clearing visible in the video, defended themselves against three drunk men […]
Capetonians, when last did you visit Wembley Square? If it was this weekend, you may have noticed that BOS Ice Tea has launched the world’s first Twitter-activated sampling machine there. BEV, the whirling, bleeping, buzzing BOS Ice Tea-vending robot, made her debut appearance at the 2012 Design Indaba, where she spent her time refreshing and […]
Jack Daniel’s HQ just sent us new mail. We’ve also finally solved the “beekeeper” mystery, however, we’re not at liberty to tell you. You’ll have to wait. If you want to find out what the vibe is, tweet us and tell us what you think the mystery is. Use the #beekeeper hashtag. The best insight gets […]
2oceansvibe’s bi-weekly sports columnist, Sean Wilson, gives us the low-down on last weekend’s international rugby test against England, considers a new broadcasting model for SuperSport, and hopes against hope that Frans Steyn’s wedding gets the coverage it deserves in Huisgenoot. 1. Heyneke Meyer really gets into the national anthem We noticed it in the first test, but […]
I’m pretty tired of teaching all my mates the basics of Photoshop. Now that everyone has woken up and realised how much money they can save doing little photographic tweaks themselves (rather than hiring a designer whose skills far outweigh your little jobs), a course like this is invaluable. I strongly urge you to do […]
I am pleased to announce that Digicape is already taking orders for the new range of Macbook Pros – with retina displays. Rumours are that they will begin hitting SA retail outlets the week of the 26th (of June), so best you get moving! It won’t be long before everyone is trying to buy an […]
If you missed this morning’s discussion on SAFM‘s media show, hosted by Ashraf Garda, here is a podcast! A lot of people tweeted that they couldn’t listen to it because they don’t have FM radios at home. It should be mentioned most local radio stations are also available on LSM 7-10’s preferred radio source – […]

This week I answer a reader’s question: In a crowded wine market such as SA, is there still space for any new entrants? And if so, how should you approach things to ensure you aren’t destined for the scrapheap of failure?
Did you catch that Jack Daniel’s “beekeeper” vibe on Tuesday? Some people were dropping claims of liqueurs on twitter, but we’re not convinced, to be completely honest. Jack Daniel’s hasn’t made anything but straight up whiskey for 137 years. We’re still not entirely sure what’s going on, but we did just get another clue mailed to us […]
With the new launch of 2ov Radio in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg, 2oceansvibe Media has made it clear that there are two oceans residing on either side of the country, not just Cape Town! Latest 30-day stats from Google Analytics reveal Gauteng taking up 28.5% of the South African audience who indulge in ‘the vibe.’ All […]
2oceansvibe Radio recently launched our Melrose Arch Studio to much fanfare in Johannesburg. The launch of the studio was our way of answering the desperate cries of our many thousands of Johannesburg listeners who, since being liberated from Morkels ads, “hump days” and “no repeat workday” radio were craving a stronger taste of the Vibe. […]
A 2oceansvibe reader has alerted us to an incredible local artist’s portrait of soccer star Wayne Rooney. Hidden in the “antiques/collectibles” section of Gumtree.co.za is an original acrylic painting of the English striker, on sale for R5 000. It may well turn out to be the must have work for local collectors this year.
Friends, now, I’m sure you all know by now that Friday Done Jack’s Way is back, and that you can enter HERE to be part of the action, but what the heck is going on here? Jack Daniel’s HQ just mailed us this video, with no other information, and we’re not at all sure what it […]
The Brothers Streep have just dropped their new music video, and some of it was shot right here in the 2oceansVibe Media Compound! It’s called “Hold On”, and deals with a fact of life that we all despise: having to hold on when making a telephone call to someone you need help from. You can […]
iOS6: The Top 10 New Features – When it arrives on handsets and tablets this fall, iOS 6 won’t just be a simple operating system update — it will be Apple’s interpretation of exactly how a modern mobile OS should perform. And at Apple’s WWDC keynote Monday, the company highlighted 10 key areas of improvement […]
British Prime Minister, David Cameron, left his eldest daughter, Nancy, at a pub following a Sunday lunch. It happened after a mix-up with his wife Samantha, Downing Street has admitted. The couple only realised their daughter was missing when they got home.
You will have noticed that we haven’t given you one of these Groupon deals for a while. That’s because we only choose the products that we think will suit you. And this, my friends, will suit you. Especially if you (or a friend?) spends time in or near the water. Heck I might even get […]
The Muse and I were in the Midlands this weekend for a wedding, and I can tell you now that it was crispy. I made the error of checking the weather forecast for Durban, instead of the Midlands. Needless to say the boardshorts I packed didn’t come to much use. Check out these rad pics […]
Did you just get a little shiver up your spine? I did. I really did. Do you remember that amazing time that we shared together last year? I remember it, so fondly. I really do. We were building something, something good, something great – a movement. A movement based on the premise that no one […]
I am sure I have mentioned most of these tips in the past, but there is little harm in reminding you of some solid wine-truths. One thing I promise, if you follow any of these tips, your enjoyment of wine will increase. And, hell, isn’t that what life is all about, drinking wine?
In a rather feeble attempt to garner attention for the plight of abused animals everywhere, PETA has launched an adult content site peta.xxx [NSFW, sort of]. The site has been in the pipeline for a while now, and features porn stars like Ron Jeremy and Jenna Jameson. Although, to be honest, there is harder porn on late night E-tv.
“Dirty” used to be a name prefix that any man could be proud of. Dirty Harry, for example, was a tough SOB. But times, they’re a changin’. And now that women are allowed to look at men the same way men have been looking at women for eons past, our jig is up. We’re being […]
A low-cost Singaporean airline has begun offering passengers iPads as an alternative to traditional in-flight entertainment. The bold move has allowed the airline to slash costs while improving passengers’ experience while on board.
We love to forget to learn from the past. Learning from history has never been a strength of human beings. Even though we are continually reminded of our historical forgetfulness, generation after generation thinks it knows better. We repeat ourselves over time, asking the same questions and making the same mistakes; ignoring our artists and poets who have been obsessing over this phenomenon since the first falcon lost its hearing, and the gyre started getting fat.
