Lets just deal with the name first. Mumford & Sons. Not ideal, if you’re trying to be cool that is. There are bands out there with names like Jane’s Addiction, Primal Scream and, of course, The Rolling Stones. Just plain cool. In fact, if there’s one thing the Stones had over the Beatles, it was their name. The Beetles would have been better, but they had to get playful and incorporate the word “beat” into their name. Naughty guys, very naughty. You were young and you thought you were being clever, but no one loves a pun. I guess you made up for it though.
But Mumford & Sons? That’s a lot to make up for. I’m not even sure that John, Paul and the boys could do enough to distract us from that incredibly dorky name. I’ve seen it being mentioned in various music magazines and have sub-consciously just ignored the band. But then I started hearing that they were getting a reputation for incredible live shows with a kind of party atmosphere where everybody just lets loose.

There’ve been a couple of Inception spoofs floating around the interwebs lately, mostly centered on how ridiculously convoluted the plot is. That’s cool and all, but what about the real question – what would you really do if you could mess with people’s heads using a dramatic soundtrack and Ellen Page? This video answers that.
Have you seen these awesome kids who are on a sketch-show called The Saffas? They act like security guards and speak in what is supposed to be a South African accent. It’s actually pretty damn funny.There are a few more at The School of Comedy Television Show. [video]
The central bank of the United States of America, the Federal Reserve, in response to the recent Great Recession has acted swiftly, decisively and boldly. Its answer to a catastrophe that was caused by irresponsible lending by greedy banks to Ninjas (no income, no job or assets) has been to cut interest rates to the bone and flood the economy with cheap money in the hope it’ll be used to kick start the economy.
So in other words, as I see it, in order to fix a problem caused by cheap money they’ve made money even cheaper. I often do the same thing after a big night in (I don’t go out anymore) and the inevitable skull bursting hangover.
There is easily nothing I like doing less than going to the hairdresser or doing housework. However, two enteprising companies on either side of the globe are looking into that problem for me. And by “looking into that problem”, I really mean “providing topless stylists”.
Did you parents ever yell at you for spending all your time recreating famous movie scenes with your toys instead of doing something real that would get noticed? No, me neither. But maybe Alex Eylar did, and if so, now’s his chance to tell his parents that his carefully-reconstructed LEGO reproductions amounted to something after all.
The oldest and fiercest rivalry in cricket begins in around three weeks time. I have always admired the perpetual banter thrown back and forth between the JAFAs and the Poms. However, this year the Barmy Army is in for a pricey trip, with the Aussie dollar rock-solid against the pound.
There are very few stories these days that leave me amazed. Especially when it comes to prison inmates. But this guy…wow! What a story. A prisoner at Douglas Prison, Larry Joe will be released on December 13th 2010, the same day his album will be released. [video]
While it’s certainly no secret that we try to steer well clear of the pessimistic soap opera that is South African politics, once in a while a story comes along that is so face-meltingly radical that it is literally impossible to ignore.

In a recent Khayelitsha church service, Pastor Xola Skosana opened his sermon by stating “Jesus was HIV positive.” For some reason, this has caused some small outcry.
We dove deep into the Gallo Images treasure trove and unearthed these stunning pics from the Springbok Training And Media Conference session at Hyde Park High School yesterday. With the amount of flesh and six-packs going around, I think it’s fair to say that this one is for the laydezz!

Assuming the stoners of California remember to leave the house today, they’ll vote – successfully – to pass Proposition 19, which will legalize marijuana in the state. If this passes, the next Golden Globe will go to a daytime cartoon, obesity rates will triple and the hacky-sack industry will become an economic powerhouse.
We chatted to SKY News’ Charlotte Hawkins last week and covered a range of important topics, including Eamonn Holmes wearing his trousers on his head, Mark Longhurst being in love with her and how she decides what to wear every morning. Not to be missed!
The finance minister Pravin Gordhan is not someone you’d want to take to the U2 concert. He might allow a brief period of foot tapping during one of their 80’s classics, but mostly he’d be working out how much the tour had swelled the country’s coffers and observe the discretionary spending habits of the assembled revellers.
That’s why he’s the head bean counter, and long may that last.
