One of the classic 2oceansvibe TV moments – The great TBG throwing a can in the bin. As was suggested in the sub-heading, there is so much more to this than you think – as one can only expect from the icon of all things true and beautiful, The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy). Check it […]
They’re pretty much all I wanted as a kid, especially when I was going through my ninja phase. I had a judo suit and some ninja stars, but no shoes. Look, these things aren’t REAL ninja shoes, they’re actually espadrilles masquerading as ninja shoes – but we CALL them ninja shoes. And anyway, you’ll probably […]
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 […]
Ok, I’ve been feeling the pulse of Cape Town and am very pleased to see more and more people (girls, and boys alike) have realised the coolness of the “Slap, Snap & Fisties” handshake. Again, your belief in 2oceansvibe has resulted in you being happier and, more importantly, cooler – the way I like to […]
When you’re in the industry that I’m in, which I refer to as “God knows what,” you develop all sorts of systems. Systems that allow you to write articles to be published if and when you feel like it, as well as systems that store information to be used at a later stage. For the […]
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 […]
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 […]
I told you yesterday about the identity of “The Stig” on Top Gear (turns out there was more than one Stig, btw) and at the end of the article I said the following: It reminds me of a few years back when I finally let the cat out of the bag that I was “Woofles†[…]
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 […]
Some of you might have missed this little beauty! It’s an ad for T Mobile which was filmed during nromal work hours and included 350 dancers who let it rip, as everyday commuters passed through the concourse. I don’t normally use the word “concourse” but today’s Wednesday, which means it’s basically the weekend, so fuck […]
I saw similar videos to this about a year ago and was so blown away that I lost the ability to type. It seems there has been a new surge of excitement and I have received the following video a number of times in my inbox. It’s pretty crazy stuff these guys do. They wear […]
I was hanging with G-Man at his pad yesterday and we decided that now would be very good time to introduce you to a new way to say hi. We think you’re ready for it. High-fives are out (just ask Ryan Seacrest), and so are fisties. That’s why we’re going for the ” SLAP, SNAP […]
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 […]
It was a couple months back that the Interior Decorator told me that I “simply HAVE to visit DVD Nouveau” on Bree Street in Cape Town. She told me about their incredible selection of DVD’s for rent, including every series and all the classics. I looked for the shop, but I couldn’t find it and […]
It is clearly that time of year when those of you who are back at your desks don’t have THAT much to do, particularly when we all know about the Cape Town January Rule . You’ve probably set up a bin in the corner of the office and have had paper throwing competitions. Time seems […]
I was very impressed when the box of 2oceansvibe Kika-Sack balls arrived at my door. With the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup hitting town in the not-too-distant future, I couldn’t think of a better branding exercise. I mean, check how cool are these little guys? 2oceansvibe branded KIKA-SACK balls I know! How stunning? So […]
This video has been voted the number one video for 2008 on the internet by a number of publications. Not least of which is Time Magazine. Not that a magazine about clocks should carry any clout. But they do anyway, somehow.. The video has been seen over 17 million times and is the brief story […]
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 […]
It is an absolute fact that this video is rude. However, it is not NSFW and has no nudity whatsoever. The verbal content is lewd, although it contains no swear words at all. How can something be so incredible that it is rude, and yet relatively safe to play at the office? Well, that is […]
Spotted this on SKY News – quite a cool vibe. check it out: A group of budding scientists have traced every flight in the world over a 24-hour period and plotted them onto an impressive video map. The science buffs from Switzerland collected data on each commercial flight and put it together to make […]
I found this clip on Mark Forrester’s site and, my goodness, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not only will you love the build up and the grand finale, but the narration is nothing short of stunning! It’s filmed by a local guy (Cape Town or Durbs) in his garden and his slang is just too beautiful! […]
I’ve seen a couple local “blogs” chatting about this new Windhoek ad, featuring Oscar winner, Louis Gossett Junior. Now, whilst that news is somewhat exciting, I think we should be telling it the way he (Louis) is telling it to his mates… The fact that he did the ad with 2oceansvibe’s G-Man. That’s correct – […]
A little hazy today, actually. 25 degrees, but with this haze vibe going for it. Very nice, mind you – takes the edge off, if you know what I mean. We checked it out after a light lunch at Cappers . G-Man and I went for the calamari, whilst The Dude went for the Club […]
The guys that designed 2oceansvibe, HelloComputer, have just finished a new project for MTN, called the MTN Backyard Series. They’ve made an online game which is, honestly, as close as you can get to a proper game of garden cricket (or “stump” as it’s called in the Southern Suburbs) within the confines of your office. […]
It’s been two weeks in a row now that the Luv Sport Spicy Dancing Guy has appeared at the end of the show. He comes out of the studio audience, as if by magic, and proceeds to gyrate in front of the live band, whilst the rest of the studio audience get autographs from the […]
I hope you didn’t think about that headline in a naughty way. That would be very naughty indeed. And childish. G-Man and The Dude told me about this stand up bit of Eddie Izzard doing a Christopher Walken impression. I like this guy. He makes me laugh. I haven’t laughed in years. Great to be […]
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 […]
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 […]
A couple of weeks back I told you about Newbie Bowls, the lawn bowling phenomenan engulfing Cape Town. In particular, I mentioned the tournaments they put together at The Glen Country Club above La Med in Clifton. Well… I couldn’t resist and ended up going to see for myself. Wow! I can get VERY used […]
