We use the word “receptionist” fairly liberally. Yes, you’ll be manning the front desk, making coffee (good coffee), inflating beach balls, and using a walky-talky, but you’ll be doing a lot of other things, too. Fun things. And if it turns out that you have initiative and brains, you’ll make the step upstairs in no […]
Who can forget this charming couple who walked away with the R1,8 Billion EuroMillions lottery jackpot just a couple weeks ago? The chances are better if you buy a ticket… You can hate them as much as you want, but one thing is for sure – you gotta give them credit for buying a ticket! […]
The Bench, 2oceansVibe Radio‘s popular weekly sports and lifestyle show, will be broadcasting live from Caveau in Newlands on Saturday as part of the build-up to the Springboks’ second Tri-Nations Test of the year against the All Blacks. One a debonair and clean cut playboy and the other not, Crispin “Chowgaps” Inglis and Howie Kahn […]
2 December sees the South African release of Real Steel, featuring Hugh Jackman. It is about boxing, but instead of humans we are talking robots in the fighting ring! We can bring you the very first South African look at images from this “gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future.” You are welcome.
So I was in Cape Town the other week. Nice bit of South Africa, that. I take much pleasure in pissing Cape Town off (it’s not like you’re not asking for it, though, the way you lot dress), but honestly, it’s a delightful bit of real estate. The year I spent there in 2007 was […]
Every week we’re giving away a bottle of Jack Daniels to the person who tweets or emails the best picture of themselves taking a load off, and doing Friday’s the Jack way. How do you do Fridays the Jack way? Chill out, have a drink. Don’t work. Look, there’s very little that you can do, […]
As DSTV continues to bring out new technologies to disguise the fact that the actual content on Multichoice is a ball of shit, it is with the greatest sense of irony that their very own reality show is playing out and giving the true entertainment value we long for. Yes, it’s true. With all the […]
Bakkies might be sneakily becoming the new SUVs of our day. They come under a lot less GreenPeace-fire than big luxury 4x4s, and rightly so. They’ve got great diesel engines which are not only powerful but incredibly frugal to boot, and because the load bay is lined with melted rubber instead of the wool of rare sheep, you don’t mind getting it a bit dirty. I just can’t decide if this is a good thing.
MC Hammer is jamming a little 2oceansVibe Radio this fine morning, all the way from San Francisco. Shouldn’t you be doing the same? Tune in, right now, via your desktop, or smartphone.
Do you want a bottle of Jack Daniels in your hands? You can, and it’s so simple. Tweet a picture of yourself chilling-out today with hashtag #jackfriday, OR mail us the self-same picture – the best one WINS! Here’s an example of a past winner: This competition is a weekly one, held every Friday. Once […]
Having debuted his solo career in 2008, making the top spots on numerous SA charts, Jesse has become an established artist in his own right, stepping out of his father’s shadow and making good on the world stage. By the time he was six months old he was on tour with his father, and between […]
I love bubbly. I can drink it first thing in the morning, just before I sleep, and at every intervening moment. Its racy freshness and cleansing bubbles inspire celebration, comfort the sad and refresh the weary. I have another name for Champagne: joie de vivre.
When the internet came along, and it spawned thousands of well-moneyed industries, the writers naturally followed. Tech journalists. Bloggers. Et cetera. These days, normal people do most of their reading on some sort of screen. Writing for online is huge. But it has its own, annoying memes that I wish would end. It’s like a never-ending insider joke and is a bit unimaginative.
As proud Springbok supporters, South Africa’s leading online radio station, 2oceansvibe Radio, is flattered to learn that the Springbok Squad have been tuning in to 2oceansvibe Radio whilst overseas on tour. Full-time 2oceansvibe Character, and part-time Springbok rugby captain, John Smit, sent through a tweet to Morning Show host, Ian F (ex-5FM), to clear up an […]
We’re pretty tight with Jack Daniel, here at 2oceansvibe. By now you should be fully aware that we have been liberating people on Friday afternoons – kidnapping people from their offices and generally enforcing Jack Daniel’s (and our) belief that people should not be working on Friday afternoons. But we’re not the only ones doing […]
I do feel sorry for the people out there who didn’t play the EuroMillions lottery over the last couple of weeks, as it rolled over and over, resulting in a jackpot of R1.8 Million (EUR 182 Million). They bitched and moaned about how stupid it was to enter the lottery, while we discussed buying $100 […]
I was chatting about this with a good acquaintance last night who used to own a Mercedes AMG, and had since toned his taste down a bit because he had had a massive crash and didn’t want to own fast cars anymore. He said he’d kill himself yadda yadda. That logic is ridiculous, and I told him so.
Rob van Vuuren and Martin Evans are back in the 2oceansVibe Radio house! Their show, the Drive Time Robbery, is live right now. Martin and Rob had a two week hiatus from the air, due to their preoccupation in Grahamstown, where they were simultaneously garnering awards and packing out performance venues with their respective comedy […]
The Telegraph and CNN and SKY News are running massive stories at the moment about the single winning ticket of Tuesday’s R1.8Billion EuroMillions jackpot. While one single ticket HAS won the jackpot, nobody has come forward yet! This from the Telegraph: The single ticket scooped the huge jackpot after a series of rollovers but nearly […]
At dinner the other night I was paging through a rather limpid looking wine list. Safe wines, boring wines; not one of which inspired in me even a trace of “Wahoo!” I saw one from a producer I have enjoyed before – a Shiraz that I thought may offer something of interest. Boy, was I wrong. It was as interesting as watching paint dry on a black and white television, showing curling. The reason for it’s complete drabness was that it had fallen into the trap that many South African reds are succumbing to. The wine maker was forcing the wine to strongly exhibit flavours and aromas of coffee and chocolate.

You will […]

We are very pleased to see people catching on to the notion of work-free Fridays, and today’s entries have been no exception. Interestingly, this week ladies are taking the lead in embracing the art of Friday relaxation. A noteworthy mention goes to @em_skye, who is heading up the West Coast for the weekend, looking very […]
At the risk of sounding like a complete kill-joy, I just need to clear this up. I don’t mind a quick flurry on a console every once in a while, but I just can’t stand it when it’s referred to as driving or driving simulation. It’s like saying a war game is war simulation. I imagine if you asked anybody who’s actually been in a war what they think of Call of Duty 4, they will tell you to politely sod off. I imagine if you ask a racing driver what he thinks of Need For Speed 13, he will say the same thing.
As a stormers fan, one can hardly be upset by last Saturday’s shellacking at The hands of New Zealand’s finest. For starters they were so vastly superior in every facet of the game that you could hardly hold it against them. They played rugby that was a joy to watch, they were infinitely more physical than us and they had an ingredient in spade loads that we seemed to lack, that is that “they started with the why”.
Premier of the Western Cape, Helen Zille, co-hosted 2oceansVibe Radio‘s Morning Meeting from 08h00 to 09h00. Helen held no punches, bemoaning the timing of the allegations against Public Protector, Thuli Madonsela, relating her experience of having her phone tapped, and praising the Western Cape for it’s entrepreneurial spirit. And then, of course, there was that […]
Mail & Guardian editor, Nic Dawes, appeared via phone call on 2oceansVibe Radio‘s Morning Meeting to discuss the potential unraveling of international media tycoon, Rupert Murdoch, and his multi-billion dollar News Corp empire, amid reports of phone tapping conducted by The News Of The World, a British tabloid in the News Corp stable. The reports […]
Taxi Violence will be paying yet another visit to 2oceansVibeRadio.com this evening on The Rock Dimension, hosted by Gary Cool and The Passion. And in their own words, “shit will be talked.” The chatter will be especially interesting, given that last month’s confusion over the alleged announcement of Taxi Violence as the official support band […]
They never thought it possible.. I mean how could a jackpot ever go over the previous biggest EuroMillions lottery winner’s jackpot? We all remember the anonymous ticketholder who scooped a £113million prize last October. But it has gone bigger, with ongoing rollovers breaking records on a weekly basis. Friday’s jackpot is now sitting on an […]
One of the things that makes wine stand out in the world of beverages is its ability to age and develop. It is a miraculous thing, tasting something older than you are (frustratingly, this gets more difficulty and expensive as you shuffle along the mortal coil). To taste a living thing formed by the elements […]
