The Greatest One-Hit Wonders Of All Time
20 Sep 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
This column is really a tribute to Durban’s Number One, East Coast Radio. Thanks to those DJs and their music selection committee, I got the joke when Jay-Z and Mr. Hudson sang Forever Young. I was belting out the tunes like all the white 30-somethings when the Wedding DJs played at Oppikoppi this year. I threw out the question of the greatest one-hit wonders of all time on Twitter yesterday afternoon, and the responses were varied and colourful. This is not a compilation of the five most chosen songs. This is not a democracy. This is my list.

19 Sep 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I was reading Esquire magazine this weekend on my iPad 2 (get the Zinio app for magazine reading) and stumbled upon this pic of Candice Swanepoel, as she continues the practice of dropping napalm everywhere she goes. Thought you might “like”. Click here to see our past Candice Swanepoel posts.

Practical Tips For Enjoying Your Life, With Wine
14 Sep 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
I have been a bit airy-faery of late, mouthing off about elegance, the nature of language, bonhomie, and the like. Which, I must say, I prefer talking about at dinner where there is plenty room to bang my fists on the table. And as the banging of digital fists becomes slightly tiresome, I thought I would veer off in a more practical direction. So here are a few tips to making your wine drinking life more pleasurable.

An Ode To Emos
13 Sep 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
Hipsters get way too much credit these days. I don’t mean that in a good way. Hipsters – especially those of a South African persuasion – deserve all the deep-seated hatred that comes their way. What I mean is that they are credited with far more social traction than they actually possess. They just aren’t that big of a deal. I’m far more forgiving of emos than I am of hipsters.

Damn! That’s A Fine Chair!
13 Sep 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Most of you would have seen our office furniture in the new hit online series called ‘The Compound.” You can watch the weekly episodes on 2oceansvibe TV here. You will notice that the chair I “drive” is the Herman Miller Aeron chair. We chatted about it before here – it’s known as the most comfortable […]

How Does It All Fit Into One Luxury Yacht?

Tonight’s EuroMillions Jackpot Is R1.5 Billion
09 Sep 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The last time the Euromillions lottery rolled-over as many times as this, it went a little further – right up to R1.8 Billion. It was won by a fairly plump couple in Scotland. We bought tickets to that one, and will without doubt be doing the same this time! After all, the chances of winning are […]

My Drug Of Choice
07 Sep 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Drugs are great. Don’t listen to those naysayers who offer hugs instead. Silly. Whoever heard of a hug that produced art, ideas, conversation and discovery? Some may have led to sex, sure, but then I reckon ecstasy wins on that count. Of course, drugs kill people and ruin lives. So do guns, politicians, earthquakes, religion, airline food, ignorance, baseball-bats, well timed punches, badly timed racing drivers, and a host of animals. But none of these things gives us the sheer pleasure while hastening our demise that drugs do. Wine is my drug of choice.

The People Shall Be Free… To Max The Rev Counter
06 Sep 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 5 Comments
There isn’t much right with South Africa’s roads. Take the Jan Smuts Avenue, for instance. It snakes through the heart of Johannesburg from Parktown on the very edge of town, to the dusty wastelands of the godforsaken and heathen Randburg in the north. Along the way, it passes through important suburban locations like Hyde Park, Craighall, and my doorstep.

The Wonder Of Human Flight – Yours Today
05 Sep 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
A million dollars? Please. That’s not cool. Helicopter rides. THOSE, those are cool. “But Helicopter rides are so expensive!“, I hear you whinge. That is true, but you and I both know that it’s not a matter of price when it comes to experiencing the wonder of flight as a homo sapien. The price doesn’t […]

The Yacht Rihanna Just Hired Is Quite Nice
05 Sep 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
This yacht is called ‘Latitude‘ and it rents at R2 million a week. Rihanna recently paid that price for a couple weeks which is pretty cool for her, but even cooler for the guy that owns the yacht. And that is why I must ask the question, do you play the local South African lottery, […]

On Elegance
31 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
Every now and again I’ll post a column on a certain word that wine people – myself included – use to describe wines that can be slightly troubling. I am going to try and make it a little bit clearer as to how the word is being used in reference to wine. Because as much fun as it is pairing wine with death, one must try to be of some use. Slight disclaimer: This is a column that imagines its readers enjoy thinking about wine a little. If you are happy with the “Ja, not battery acid I’ll drink it. Fuck that it’ll kill you” approach to drinking wine, this may annoy you.

It’s Whale-Watching Season – Oh Yeah
31 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
You know how, every year that you’ve made the nine-hour trek to Hermanus, you’re kind of disappointed by how far away that mass-grouping of whales is from the shoreline? Whales are majestic creatures, but are they worth the agony of gawking at them from behind hoardes of shore-bound people? You have no right to be […]

In Defence Of A Man’s Simple Shoe
30 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
Since the shoes go on the feet, it’s easy to ignore them. To think you can get by with a good shirt and jacket while leaving your shoes to the mercy of poor taste is not ok. I suspect this is why Gregory House said that shoes never lie.

Local Ponzi Fraudster Chose The Wrong Yacht
30 Aug 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
Not sure if you caught the article in the Sunday Times about Dean Rees, who ran a ponzi scheme which sucked in and spat out the likes of former Pick n Pay CEO, Sean Summers. You can read the article here, if you missed it. So anyway, he has run off to Switzerland, where he […]

Changing A Tyre Is Too Damn Difficult
26 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 12 Comments
Changing a tyre involves more swearing, cursing and scraped knuckles than a bar fight between 500 drunken racehorse owners. It’s something that one day we will all have to face. So you’d think car makers would make it easy. You’d be wrong. Very wrong.

Tomorrow’s Lottery Jackpot Is 1 Billion Rand – It’s Your Call..
25 Aug 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
We chatted the other day about the private jet that Julius Malema uses and how we find it completely useless. We also discovered that the private jets that we really intend on owning once we win the lottery, are way out of reach for the South African lottery. Tuesday’s jackpot was something like R750 million and […]

Wine: The Liquid To Live And Die By
25 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
There is so much drama in the SA wine industry at the moment, what with caffeine conundrums, and now a damning (albeit one-sided) report from Human Rights Watch that Western Cape fruit farmers are treating their workers like it’s the 1860s. I thought I would steer completely clear of such depressing matters and uplift the wine drinking nation with some sound advice as to what wine to open when faced with certain situations in your life.

How To Jazz Up A Flaccid Union Strike
24 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I don’t know about you, but I was deeply disappointed at how the South African Municipal Workers (Samwu) march panned out in Johannesburg. Especially after the hilarity that had ensued in Cape Town and Durban. But wait! Not all is lost, union bosses! You can still get 18% – you just have to be a bit creative about your protest marches!

Bronwyn Howells (@bronhowells) has downloaded the 2oceansvibe Radio app – enabling her to listen to South Africa’s most exiting new internet radio station, 2oceansvibe Radio. Bronwyn was clearly tired of having no choice and realised that the one or two stations available on FM were not made for her. Especially now that Ian F has left […]

Malema’s Private Jet And The EuroMillions Lottery
23 Aug 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
If you caught this weekend’s Sunday Times you will know all about the private jet that Julius Malema flies around in. You know – the jet that belongs to his buddy, who gets tenders from Jules. Fraud and corruption aside, I just wanted to chat about the jet itself. People seem to get very excited […]
