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 […]
Coming from a religious music and conservative background, this recent shot of Katy Perry is quite surprising. But then one remembers her latest global pop hit “I kissed a girl, and I liked it” and it sits a little better.. Katy Perry Very mellow.. The guy behind her seems to be enjoying it..
Those of you in Durbs who aren’t wetting themselves with excitement, are advised to tell their parents the news – South Africa’s number 1 rock band back in the 70’s and 80’s, McCully Workshop , are coming to Durban! Show them this album cover and I can almost guarantee they’ll be moved to tears. […]
Playing “Home Wrecker.” The sound is appalling, but you need to see the vibe – 5,000 poeple, Sunday night at Kirstenbosch, angels EVERYWHERE! Two words – Sic k! [thanks charl]
I bought Lily Allen ‘s new album, It’s not me, it’s you on iTunes (linked to an overseas credit card) while I was in Plett this weekend. We played it in the car on the way back and, I gotta say it, I dig it. I hereby declare Lily Allen “cool.” Some of the guys […]
This was at 9pm our time, God knows what hour, his time. His first twat of the day: Snoop Dogg‘s first twat of the day on Twitter That’s what he says to his 50-odd thousand Twitter followers! Good morning by beautiful TWIZZLES!!! Stop it, man! It’s too much.. But then he follows up […]
I ballsed it up the other day when I said that Goldfish were playing at Spier. They weren’t. I got the weekends mixed up and they are actually playing at Spier (in the amphitheatre no less – QUITE an affair, I am told!) THIS weekend. I’m going on Saturday night and STRONGLY advise you to […]
And here she is. No pics with Chris Brown yet and no signs of bruising. Good show. Riahanna – lookin’ good Check out the glove vibe she’s going for there. What do you think? I ran it by The Muse and we’re both FINE with it.
I am quite aware that you might have seen this already, but some of the precious readers out there have not. It is essential that everyone sees this. Hey? Awesome! [thanks gavin]
If I wasn’t in Plett.. Yup, that’s where I am, friends. There were no planes to be had and I found myself driving to Plett for the first time in years. With The Insurance Broker , no less. Good times. And I’m happy to report they are widening that part of the road that goes […]
Following almost seamlessly from our article about the “Lazy Beggers” earlier this week, we bring you this week’s music appreciation. You’ve heard it on the radio, you’ve jammed to it in your car. Now you can hear it on your favourite website. Yeah! Uh! Uh! Uh! Rad to the power of sick! […]
Rihanna and Chris Brown got together again at Puff Daddy ‘s mansion – apparently meeting there to reconcile. Brown dropped to his knee, they called in a priest and the rest is history. Although, I’m doubting that will be the end of it. Or the start. Rihanna and Chris Brown This, from Star […]
Well, that’s bloody decent of him! [thanks charl]
So The Advertising Guy has Kia cars as one of his clients in the US (based in L.A. baby!). He got in touch with me and said he was looking for a sick tune for a new ad he was doing for Kia. Goldfish came up during the conversation and I said I’d take care […]
I really do hope that Randall Abrahams doesn’t think all the negative press is a compliment to how well he is playing his “nasty” character on SA Idols. I must make it radiantly clear that this is not the case. Unlike in the US, where people “hate” the nasty judge, Simon Cowell (they do actually […]
JT hasn’t dropped much from the dizzy heights he achieved in our ratings, following his GENIUS Dick in a Boxvideo. And now he goes and nails it again – this time with Beyonce and the song Single Ladies. Pushing it.. [thanks jacki]
Covers have really taken off since Britney’s covered I love Rock ‘n Roll. The last George Michael cover that I recall was Limp Bizkit’s rendition of Faith. That was a pretty hard version and I thought it interesting that this latest cover of a George Michael song has been performed by a hard rock band. […]
The first time I heard this song, Sideways (or anything by Citizen Cope, for that matter), was about a year ago. It was a rehashed version with Carlos Santana, which Citizen Cope’s staunch faithful believe over-punctuated the song, taking away too much from Cope’s (Clarence Greenwood) intention. Personally I loved it. Enjoying Rolling Stone reports […]
Just enjoy it.. Ai No Corrida Quincy Jones Words & Music: C. Jankel – Young K. Fred Notes : Reprise du titre de “Chaz Jankel” du groupe “Number One” I hold you, I touch you In a maze can’t find my way I think you, I drink you I’m being served you on a […]
Yes, it was a cover. Do you know where they got the name “Mony Mony” from? I’ll tell you my love, because I want you to be a better person. You’ll be a fruitbowl of knowledge by the time I’m finished with you! Enjoy this from a site I’ve just launched called Wikipedia: “Mony […]
Chris Brown, Umbrella star Rihanna’s boyfriend, klapped her after a pre-Grammy party. He subsequently turned himself in and was arrested. They did not attend the Grammy’s, even though they were both due to perform. Rihanna and her boyfriend, Chris Brown This, from The Times: R&B singer Chris Brown failed to turn up […]
Originally written by Lucio Dalla in 1986, the song is dedicated to Enrico Caruso, one of the most famous tenors. Covered by many, the most memorable is pretty much this exact rendition by the late great Luciano Pavarotti . Put those speakers on full volume, pause the video to let it load fully, sit back, […]
I was watching the Durban auditions of Idols last night on channel 198 and the farce seems to be going ahead for this, the fifth (God help us all) season. And whilst you might not remember who won last year’s competition, you needn’t worry as it looks like they’re finally closing up shop. Dave Thompson […]
Personally, I’m fine with it. My bathroom habits are few and far between. It’s all a bit tedious, really. Like brushing my teeth – Christ, it bores me! And going for a number two – seriously, I don’t have that much time. I’m in and I’m out. I take a magazine from time to time, […]
I’m bringing back Aerosmith at the moment, so I hope you’re all cool with that? ‘cos everyone will be playing it again within the next two weeks and you should get used to it. I’ve got Janie’s Got a Gun blaring full tilt in The Safe House right now as I type this. Seriously, YOU […]
I’m sure a lot of my gorgeous readers out there have missed the news about South African cricketer, AB de Villiers , releasing a pop song. Were you aware? Not? Ok, it’s quite important that you see this. It’s a pearler.. You might want to check that out again. You don’t have to […]
It doesn’t get much better than this. Genius Why didn’t YOU think of that? Jeez, guys – WAKE UP! Check out an original T-shirt (where they got the idea) here. I doubt I have to tell you who RUN DMC are, right? No I don’t. Because it’s like that, and that’s the way it is. […]
A number of people have emailed me this video so I thought I’d pop up the YouTube clip, rather than receiving anymore 3Mb files. You do know that 90% of the clips people send around are also available on Youtube, right? No problem. Ok, this is pretty hysterical. It features a particularly overweight gent dancing […]
A couple months back I told you about Taxijam, the incredible new underground music video concept featuring artists playing in the back of a local taxi. Started by 2oceansvibe Character The Film Guy (Richard) and his cousin Simon, it’s gaining rapid momentum and has featured the likes of 2oceansvibe’s favourite The Dirty Skirts and our […]
