2ov.fm – Let The Tweets Do The Talking
28 Nov 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
It’s very easy to run around saying that you have an audience of 40 000, including over 30 000 downloads of our mobile streaming app. But to get the constant stream of praise that comes our way, takes something a little more substantial. So a big thanks to the listeners out there who are enjoying […]

My Delayed Goodbye To The White Stripes
25 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
The other day I bought Icky Thump, almost begrudgingly. I didn’t think it would be that good. It didn’t get the commercial attention (by that I mean our radio stations only played the single Icky Thump off it) of albums like Elephant and Get Behind Me Satan, leading me to think that perhaps it was a bit of a dud. If you haven’t bought the last album – do. It really is that good.

Bishopscourt Mansion Goes On The Market For R98 Million
22 Nov 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The more aspirational of us often discuss the difference between what “your” R10 million or R20 million or R50 million buys on “either side of the mountain.” These chats usually take place around EuroMillions lottery draw time. More to the point, we compare the size of the property you can get in Clifton, with the options […]

22 Nov 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
South African cricketing legend, and ambassador for Buchulife, joined an elite club of test cricketers who have scored more than 12 000 runs. He takes his rightful place in a group of players that includes Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, and Rahul Dravid. In fact, Kallis is now the fourth highest scorer of runs in the […]

Whisky Alive
18 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
The line to enter the Johnny Walker stand literally went around the block. Well, I say block: it was a few square metres long. But still, it had the biggest waiting line by a quite a measure. There were dozens of stalls to choose from, and yet the upper crust of Johannesburg’s upwardly mobile chose to line up for shots of Johnny Walker Blue. Didn’t they miss the point?

Mavericks Billboards Coming Down Following Outrage
18 Nov 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
I must say I did do a double-take when I drove into the city yesterday (in my awesome new MINI coupé) and saw a Mavericks billboard with a half naked Eastern European woman on it, tangled in sailing rope. The caption read something along the lines of “I was out sailing.” “Hmm, that’s a little […]

Awesome Picture – Hohenzollern Castle
17 Nov 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I saw this pic in yesterday’s issue of The Daily (on iPad 2) and had to show you. An atmospheric inversion lets the Hohenzollern Castle appear to rise out of the mist. Pretty cool, hey?

In case you were wondering why your friendly Vida baristas were looking especially fatigued on Monday, you should know that these men of coffee and skill threw themselves headlong into a battle of athleticism, wits and guile on Saturday at the Gianluca Vialli soccer nets in Sea Point, in the annual Vida Soccer Tournament.

The Price Of Wine: Putting Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
16 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 5 Comments
I think we pay too little for our wine. These thoughts have clouded my brain like a Joburg smog – discussions about money always leave a dirty taste – since I heard a few different pronouncements about wine and money. The first was at the Swartland Revolution – the constitutionally testing wine event I attended this weekend, whose schedule ran daily from august conversations about fine wine to hangovers that would bring a tear to your eye and a lump to your throat.

I got the latest V Magazine on my iPad 2 (I have a US iTunes account – which you can get here) and I was pleasantly surprised when I turned the page and found a stunning little shoot of the world’s #1 supermodel, our very own Candice Swanepoel. It would be rude not to show […]

MINI Routes – Avoid The Blue Route And The Rhodes Drive Queue
14 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
The Blue Route is just that, blue, and depressing. You probably think you’ve got the better of it by taking Rhodes Drive. The only problem is that you have to deal with that queue that’s longer than the line at Home Affairs. Seth shows you where to bang a right, to avoid the fifteen minute […]

Body Fat Is Our Bling
14 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
From security guard, to dodgy taxi boss, to even dodgier mine boss – Khulubuse Zuma’s weight has exploded upwards recently. Nouveau riche, and all that. The connection isn’t very subtle – in large parts of South Africa, the way we choose to display wealth is by being overweight. Body fat is our bling.

Grab Yourself An Amazing Photography Course While It’s Hot
14 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
You’ve got a passion for photography. Look, who doesn’t. But you’re afraid to commit. You’re afraid to take the plunge. You’re even afraid to mention the very fact that you have a strong interest in photography, lest some douchebag photojournalist-cum-free-to-have-music-magazine editor corners you into a conversation about shutter speed and aperture. What you need is […]

Be A Patriot – Drink A Sauvignon Blanc
11 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I remember growing up with this notion that things were always better “over the seas”. Finding myself amongst winos later in life, there is still a remnant of that idea. There’s almost a measure of disbelief when a South African wine is preferred to a French wine of similar style. It feels as though there is a lack of confidence in our own wines, one that’s only bolstered briefly when a foreign critic gives us a high score. The point – which is quickly becoming a bush around which I am beating – is that South African Sauvignon Blanc is world class.

Will We Ever Have The Internet Police?
10 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Information wants to be free, man! So says Julian Assange and his WikiLeaks geeks. Info wants to be free! The internet is free! Don’t police it! It’s a nice idea, isn’t it? The internet being the last place on earth that is unpoliced. Well, that may be about to go away.

There Are No Great Wines, Only Great Bottles
10 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I love tawny port. The flavours of sweet raisin, black tea and earth make we want to shout and dance around singing, “I’m Tawny, Tawny Tawny Tawny tonight.” I finished half a bottle last night in preparation for this column. It made me happy. But not as happy as I was the last time I drank it – and that’s the rub.

You might have caught the article in yesterday Sunday Times newspaper about Jacob Zuma getting a new jet. In fact he and the deputy president are getting TWO new jets, which come to a total of R1,6 Billion. That’s R800 million per jet!

I said goodbye to my buddy, the new 4X4 MINI Countryman, after six months of joyous adventure in and around Cape Town. From mounting pavements in Green Point, to dirt roads and the dunes of Arniston, it was nothing short of pure adventure. I also managed to squeeze in an online TV series, showing you, […]

Friday Done Jack’s Way – A Taste Of Things To Come
01 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I’m not sure if you know this, but “Whiskey” is one part of the official aviation radio alphabet. Ja, you best believe it. Which is why on 7 October last month we treated our Friday Done Jack’s Way winner, Mark, and four of his friends to a helicopter flight from the V&A Waterfront to Constantia […]

2 Billion Rand Up For Grabs, As Lottery Has ‘Historic’ Rollover
01 Nov 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The US Powerball lottery, which is played by people all over the world, had a jackpot this last weekend of $200 million (R1,5 billion). Whilst there were many smaller winners, no one had the right numbers to win the big jackpot prize. That means that the jackpot rolls over and gets bigger. This Wednesday’s US […]

A man’s home is his castle. A women’s home is also her castle, but with more comfort and logic. And your castle ought to be everything you hoped and prayed for. When was the last time you walked into a place and thought, “Man, if I had built this house, I would have definitely perched […]

Sunday’s Summer Guide To Wine
30 Oct 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
As the temperature warms, the days grow longer, the skirts get shorter, skinny jeans are replaced with skinny denim shorts, and all and sundry converge on Camps Bay, Llandudno and the Cliftons after work to tan, swim, and pat themselves on the back for living in such an awesome city. We know summer is here.
