WHAT are the chances that a 2oceansviber from Cape Town is on holiday IN London at the moment and happens to only be coming back next Friday!?!? Just enough time for her and a friend to win the 2oceansvibe U2 concert in Dublin competition (here )! For those of you who missed the competition, you […]
I can relate to this in a big way. Not that I’ve had any airline break anything of mine, but I’ve certainly suffered from general airline crapness. I was chatting to my mother the other day and I told her that some people go through a lifetime of regular air travel and never lose a […]
We recently brought you the exclusive footage of the U2 concert in Milan (here), featuring their new mind-blowing stage which seems to defy all laws of gravity and stage building. Now while it is awesome to look at night time, one wonders what it might look like in the day. To the naked eye. Well […]
It’s been a while since I attended a big rock concert. I prefer more intimate scenarios, when they play private gigs for 50 people or so – which is often the case when you roll like this. That said, I heard that a friend of a friend recently attended a U2 concert in Milan which, […]
Just look at it slowly and let it sink in. Embrace it. HANNAH MIN TANNE Hey? Hannah MinTanne? Come on, man!! It’s pure unadulterated GENIUS! Well done, snaaksgenoeg.co.za ! [thanks brett] ps. to our non-afrikaans speaking readers out there, “Min Tanne” means “few teeth” and happens to sound similar to the original to […]
It was too easy yesterday. I popped into Vida e on Kloof Road and then waltzed over to Mabu Vinyl, just opposite (in the road leading into the Vida entrance – Rheede Street) to pick up some records. I called the owner, Sugar, from the South of France on the day that Michael Jackson died. […]
True Prince aficionados and fellow tormented genii will appreciate any new footage of the eccentric, diminutive, sexually charged machine that is Prince (formerly known as “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince”). He doesn’t wander into the public spotlight all too often and when he does, I want to see it. I want to see his […]
Whilst it is virtually impossible to ever beat the video of Chad, the red head kid dancing to Flo Rida’s Low (here), this little babba gives him a good run for his money dancing to Beyonce’s Single Women. Nappy Rash, here we come Not bad. Not bad at all. That baby must have […]
The is the “literal” version of Bonnie Tyler’s song, “Total Eclipse of the heart.” It is incredibly funny and I urge you to watch it. People in the ad and film game will love it even more. But you don’t have to be any kind of “creative” to enjoy it. Pretty good. Even […]
It’s one thing behaving like a rock star, but it’s a fine line between being a rock star and losing every last ounce of sense. Like Pete Doherty who was recently arrested in Geneva, Switzerland after he was found slumped over in the airplane bathroom with a hypodermic needle. Pete DohertyIn very good nick […]
So it was the MTV Movie Awards this weekend. The evening produced many a highlight, not least of which was Sacha Baron Cohen character, Bruno‘s high-wire act “malfunction” which resulted in him landing on top of Eminem (here). The teabagging exercise ended with Eminem and his entourage storming out of the awards. Hectique vibe […]
Good morning! Ok, we’re going to kick off with something quite special indeed! It was about a week ago (was it a week ago? Yes it was.) that we chatted about Hiedi Klum and Seal’s “white trash” themed party (here) they threw to renew their wedding vows. It was very well received by both their […]
RELAX! I won’t write the name on the screen and spoil it for those who think they can avoid all global mainstream media in the lead up to the day the final is played on South African television. So, those of you who want to know who won American Idol, check out this video. […]
I spotted The Killers performing at the end of The Late Show with David Letterman (the one with Tom Hanks). They were SO pumped it was RADICAL! I was genuinely sucked in and was just staring at the screen with my mouth open, covered in goose bumps. They had a full orchestra there as well. […]
Just when you thought Heidi Klum and Seal couldn’t get any more awesome, they reaffirmed their marriage vows this weekend in Malibu – with a “white trash” party theme. I swear. It’s too awesome! They usually do it at the place they got married at, in Mexico – but swine flu is not really their […]
Enjoy this SNL clip with Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg – The same two that brought you Dick in a Box. Andy and the Lonely Island band also gave us the awesome I’m on a Boat music video. Oh, this video also has a very provocative SUSAN SARANDON! Ja, you heard me. You can read […]
I wonder if globally recognised superstars pause for a second before they start filming or snapping pics of themselves naked? And then, after that, do they think about keeping the pics in a safe place? Not really, it appears, as they always seem to make it onto your computer screen – like they are now. […]
Everybody knows how much you love John Legend. Even if you’re a racist white female South African, you KNOW deep down inside that you want a piece of him. You’d take the legend . And that’s fine. He’s a good looking fella. Legend and Pooch Can you imagine him holding your body against […]
I was editing the last 2oceansvibe Weather Girls feature at iKraal head office the other day, and started playing some Tom Jones on my laptop. That’s when I received an email from Ken in the next room, with a link to this very early live video of “The Voice” dancing on stage. Oh my shattered […]
We have a few announcements today. Firstly, Goldfish have followed the trend set by The Dirty Skirts and have given 2oceansvibe the exclusive release of their new music video, Cruising Through . Let’s have a look at that, and then we’ll check out the email I received from Goldfish (currently in Brazil), as well as […]
So I trust everyone has seen the Susan Boyle video? The one from Britain’s Got Talent . If you haven’t seen it, check it out (here). It’s one of those ones where Simon Cowell thinks the woman is going to sing shit, but then she throws out a belter. Ashton Kutcher Twittered about the clip, […]
I remember when I got my first copy of the latest Dirty Skirts album, Daddy Don’t Disco – I nearly wet myself the whole way through. And then came the track that is currently all over the airwaves – “Rolling Like Thunder.” As much of the fan that I am, I couldn’t actually believe what […]
I very nearly bought a couple of golden circle tickets for this year’s Coke Zero Fest in Cape Town after my G-Man reminded me it was taking place on Monday. You see, as I was about to book tickets for The Muse and me, I found out that it wasn’t in it’s usual place (Kenilworth […]
Phil Spector is one of the most famous and eccentric music producers of all time having worked with the likes of The Beatles, Tina Turner, The Righteous Brothers and The Ramones. He was the originator of the “Wall of Sound” production technique, and was responsible for over 25 Top 40 hits between 1960 and 1965, […]
The other day I asked all my Tweeps on Twitter to Twat me their favourite songs to play at gym, as I was making a new mix. They sent some beauties, some of which I used. Then I used an incredibly powerful section of my brain to think of some more. And then it hit […]
With six critically acclaimed albums in the bag, South African pride and joy, Just Jinjer, I’m pleased to announce that they have been slogging it and finally released their long awaited new single, Can I Have More TODAY! Just JinjerBrent Harris, Sandy Chila, Ard Matthews and Denholm Harding Following a string of global […]
You’ll recall some time back I featured the T-Mobile “flash mob” (here)which gathered at Liverpool Station in London, England. Well, it looks like some folk in Belgium felt they should up the ante, which they did with great success – this time at Antwerp Central train station . I got this off Chris Rawlinson’s blog […]
Just like that. Beyonce – giving it a full rev BANG! Right…. Nowwww…..where were we?
Oh my goodness. [out of breath] Is everyone here? Ok, good. Sit down – I have a very important announcement. I was sent this video by Toby E, and before I watched it for the first time I noticed two things. Firstly, it was made by Lonely Island – the same genii that brought us […]
2oceansvibe’s disgust at the incredibly low levels of professionalism over at IDOLS has been echoed throughout the media world over the past couple of months. The most recent of which was yesterday in IOL’s Tonight Section: Check, check, check it out (source – iol): Idols, hitting the wrong note March 22, 2009 By […]
