Had a simply marvelous time last night at the U2 concert in Cape Town. Here is a killer panoramic pic taken using my iPhone 4 (thanks Digicape) and the Autostitch app. Sadly I wasn’t quick enough to get pics of the chick cat-fight that occured in fromt of me, but those of you who caught […]

Lady Gaga Wears A Condom
18 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I’m not entirely sure what to think of lady Gaga’s latest outfit that she wore on Thursday’s edition of “Good Morning America”. She said that the outfit was based on a condom. Where on God’s green earth does this woman come up with these ideas?

Zuma Meets Bono – Cute [VIDEO]
18 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
In a touching display of celebrity-on-politician action, Bono delivered a bright red iPod to his new best friend, Jacob Zuma, at the presidential home in Genadendaal. Zuma looked visibly nervous at the specter that is Bono, so much so that he could barely manage to complete a sentence, and as one wasn’t written down for him, who could blame him.

Bieber Fever May Be Deadly
17 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Poor , Ezperanza Spalding- I don’t know who she is either, but apparently she’s won “Best New Artist” at Sunday’s Grammys, despite Justin Bieber being the overwhelming favourite. This has sparked outrage amongst Bieber’s fans or “Beliebers” as they are known, and they have called for her head.

Jamming With The Large Hadron Collider
16 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
If you think about it, music is simply data ordered in a specific way by a clever human and then executed by either man or machine. So why not take some existing data from a very clever machine and see if it makes music? Well that’s what the very very clever people at CERN have done.

14 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 5 Comments
If you’re anything like me you’ll have a penchant for gut busting drum solos from rake-thin dudes who live for that little round chair. We’ve been treated to some geniuses down the years, but Rolling Stone readers (who last I checked knew their music) have picked their top ten of all time.

Rihanna, Eminem And Dr. Dre – Live At The Grammy Awards [Video]
14 Feb 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Eminem and Rihanna’s song Love The Way You Lie was a big hit and we played it till our fingers bled on 2oceansvibe Radio. But then it got a little bit killed and we let it take a breather. We subsequently forgot about it and what a treat it was to see it performed live […]

Lady Gaga Arrives At The Grammys In An Egg
14 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Even for the insanity that is the Gaga fashion choice, arriving for the 2011 Grammy Awards in a giant shiny egg is still pretty weird. Lady Gaga was an hour early for her arrival on the red carpet, encased in a giant egg and was carried by four half-naked men.

“This Is The Best Radio Station I’ve Ever Been To” – Imogen Heap
09 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
To say it was an honour to have world-renowned pop artist, Imogen Heap in the studio for an interview on the morning of her first gig in Cape Town, would be an understatement. Imogen was a fantastic guest; intelligent, insightful, and quirky. 2oceansvibe Radio were the official media partners for Imogen’s Cape leg of her […]

Album Review – ‘Rock Dust Light Star’ By Jamiroquai
02 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Although I didn’t know it at the time, all my friends at school in England were way cooler than me. I was listening to Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Guns n’ Roses, Blind Melon and the Peppers while they were into the Acid Jazz scene that was considered extremely hip in England at the time. But I […]

02 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
“Hey guys. I’m Gary Thomas. Welcome to The Waiting Room. We’re going to play you some music, in case you were wondering about all…this.” So began Gary Thomas’ Long Street gig last night. It stayed awkward, but the music got better as the night went on.

Time Traveling Beatles Film That Prevents The Yoko Situation
31 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Bar-room time travel talk usually centers around whether or not it would be cool to murder Hitler, because hey. But this misses a more important issue: whether or not Yoko Ono really killed the Beatles. Director Mark Waters wants to make a movie about that – time traveling Beatles fans, I mean.

They’re Making A Fight Club Musical
12 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I don’t know how to feel about this. I loved Fight Club the way you love an eccentric uncle; it was weird and it stank of smoke and made people feel uncomfortable, but it was awesome. The fact that it’s director, David Fincher wants to revisit it is great; the whole ‘musical’ angle is where I start panicking.

Album Review – ‘Lonely Avenue’ By Ben Folds
06 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Great song lyrics are almost impossible to master. And that’s before they’ve even been weaved into a perfect melody. When the two come together it’s alchemy. Some songwriters only manage it once in their lifetimes. We have a name for them. Hands up who knows what it is. Writing a great lyric seems like it […]

Josh Groban Sings Kanye West’s Tweets [VIDEO]
05 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
When you hear the name Josh Groban, the violin line from “You Raise Me Up” starts wilting away in your head, hey? That’s because that was the only song that guy frigging sang for about two years. But hey, all power too him – the man is fabulously succesful nowadays. And with all that record […]
