You know sometimes when someone says something and a few days later something very similar happens? Ja, well anyway, I call it a “premonition.” People then also sometimes spice it a bit and stretch the amazingness of the particular premonition by clutching onto what we in the industry refer to as “fuck all.” Like someone […]
Before we chat about that, I thought I should just mention that this year’s Coke Fest (now called CokeZero Fest ’09) is featuring Oasis as its headline act. That’s right. You heard it here first. Other bands on the bill at this stage include Snow Patrol…and the Dirty Skirts. I know. Pretty rad. Now check […]
It’s not often the energies of the universe pull together to give us things like this. Scott Macintrye is a contestant on the latest American Idol which is on at the moment. Scott Macintrye is blind. Ryan Seacrest is the host of American Idol and is therefore fully aware that Scott is blind. That’s why […]
I would prefer it if you played this on full volume. Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress by The Hollies Saturday night I was downtown Working for the FBI Sitting in a nest of bad men Whiskey bottles piling high Bootlegging boozer on the west side Full of people who are doing wrong […]
I throughly enjoyed this little number sent in by Dave L: Hi Seth, I thought you would enjoy this one. Jerry Barnard (the muso) asked me to look after his car while he was away, so I made a few modifications to it, look carefully and see if you can spot them. Stunning […]
The sax solo was basically my idea. Never Tear Us Apartby INXS Dont ask me What you know is true Dont have to tell you I love your precious heart I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided And they could never tear us apart We could live For a thousand years […]
Kid Rock is possibly one of the last true rock stars left. Not only is he not helping orphans in Africa, but he is also refusing to stop wearing fur. So much so that he has told PETA to bring it on! Kid RockDoesn’t give a toss British Sunday Mail reports: “I […]
You would never be expected to get your head around it, so don’t even try – I would never put that much pressure on you. Puff Daddy has just launched his new fragrance called “I AM KING” which falls under his Sean John clothing brand. He felt it necessary to make a 5 minute mini-movie […]
It had to happen. It’s just too much for the freaks’ brains out there. You know, actually auditioning on live TV, and in direct contact with “superstars” like Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell and Randy “Swazi” Jackson. Now look what you’ve done – this, from the New York Post: An “American Idol” reject who was […]
Some buddies of mine (including The Film Guy) have started this very cool Cape Town concept, called Taxi Jam. You can check out their website here. In a sentence : Taxi Jam is a selection of South Africa’s finest creative talent performing in an intimate 5 minute taxi ride. It’s pretty fucking cool and I […]
We’re at the end of October and, before the boys start growing their moustaches for the month of Movember (NOTE: WE ARE ALL GROWING OUR MOUSTACHES FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER – FACT), I thought we should play something upbeat. Well, as usual, the real reason why we’re playing this tune is it gave me […]
It’s extreme from the North Pole to the fields and streets of South Africa this week on Luv Sport, SA’s number 1 multi-sport magazine show, Friday night, 21h10 on Supersport 1 (channel 201). Ok to put it into perspective, you should be aware that Lewis Pugh has been on Jay Leno. Can you grasp that? […]
I was pretty impressed when The Muse returned from London with some vinyl for DC (Daddy Cool). She apparently went into some uber trendy record shop and told the guy behind the counter to help her chose some “must have” albums. Must have been quite a clever guy she was talking to, because she left […]
31 December, 1985, brought the closing of an era. After 35 years, Springbok Radio, our very first commercial radio station, closed it’s doors. If you don’t remember it then I can guarantee your parents will go all misty eyed at the mention of it. Give it a try. And then tell them they can access […]
So we’ve established that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are overs, and that she has been bonking New York Yankee, Alex Rodriguez. We also gather that she referred to Guy Ritchie as Emotionally Retarded at a concert in Boston last week and the messiness of their divorce promises to rival that of Paul McCartney and The […]
Well the ex-pats in Dubai are in for a treat of note! See what I did there? I said “of note” because Goldfish are musical and music is written using music NOTES! I come up with stuff like this the WHOLE TIME! But seriously, to all the South Africans living in Dubai, do yourselves a […]
I haven’t made up my mind about the song itself, but I’ll give Britney the thumbs-up for taking a proven winning formula and repackaging it. Britters in her new music video It’s a given that the music video for her original smash hit Baby One More Time had a lot to do with the […]
I spotted this motor vehicle on the way to Rocking The Daisies. Initially I got very excited, as I thought that perhaps the Bee Gees were playing a surprise set at the festival. Oh my God! That’s not BARRY, is it? I peered into the driver’s window as we overtook the car. Alas, […]
Mary J Blige has always kept a special place in our hearts. Ever since 1992, when the Founders House standard 8 dorm killed the hit Real Love on the dorm sound system (Calypso). Not to be mistaken with the evil that is Gabrielle, Mary J Blige is nothing but good times. The remix of her […]
Here’s a pic of Beyonce (or “buoyancy,” as The Muse calls her) taken last week. Just cruising around. Is that what they call an “entourage?” Everything is normal I dig how her body language and facial expression put out a vibe that everything is absolutely fine with this picture. I shouldn’t talk, I hardly […]
If you don’t know about the internet’s original king of satirical news, The Onion, you’re missing out. I haven’t been for a long time and thoroughly enjoyed this article. From The Onion: Members Of Twisted Sister Now Willing To Take It September 29, 2008 Twisted Sister NEW YORK – In a stunning […]
I received some awesome entries for the Rocking The Daisies VIP ticket competition, which closed on Monday. You might remember the two winners, who won a pair of VIP tickets each. That’s right – Vee Eye Pee, my mate! Although the competition is over, I simply have to publish this pic I received on Tuesday […]
I’m not sure if it was their intention, but I could barely breathe from laughter as I watched a guy in a hoodie dancing in the window at the Apple Store in Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront shopping centre, a few weeks back. I knelt down on my knees and thanked God that I had my […]
It’s happening, my friends. We are nearly there. Rocking the Daisies 2008 is upon us. And they’re certainly not fucking around this year, as the poster below will show. I stopped reading after the first three names. Check it out and I’ll tell you about the competition after that.  www.rockingthedaisies.com  Are you feeling […]
I received word from The Adventurer that Steve Jobs is launching the new generation iPods today. This will include a new feature on iTunes called “Genius.” Surprisingly, this has got nothing to do with DJ Fresh whatsoever. The iPod Nano – as before The Times Online reports: A new generation of iPods […]
I love it when chicks take swipes at each other in public. Like this fine example featuring Elton John and Lily Allen which took place on Tuesday night, as the pair hosted the GQ Men of the Year Awards. Elton and Lily during happier times Time online reports: In front of a […]
The Insurance Broker is no doubt in his element today as the gloved one turns 50! No matter how hard he tried, Michael couldn’t get rid of the smell. This, from MSNBC: Michael Jackson turns 50 on Friday. What do you get for the man who has everything, including a killer discography, […]
This, from Musicradar.com: I enjoy how it says, “signed, sealed and delivered” Brian Epstein’s personal copy of the first fully-signed agreement between himself and The Beatles goes under the hammer on 4 September at The Fame Bureau’s It’s More Than Rock And Roll memorabilia auction. Taking place at London’s Idea Generation Gallery, the […]
God bless Chris T who saved us from certain suicide as he emailed us the song that everyone has been emailing in about. I must say it is quite embarrassing to be the last to know. It doesn’t happen very often. I apologise. But now, I must tell you about this song. For those of […]
My iPod has a myriad of songs on it, ranging from the classics to cheesy pop, with an emphasis on Laura Branigan. That was a joke…..in a way. Moving on, I like to cater for all types and there are many CDs ripped onto my iPod that may not be my cup of tea. That […]
