Dear Human...

Every once in a blue moon I find (amidst the quagmire of self-promotion and spelling tHaT lOoKs LiKe ThIs) something awesome on Facebook. The following image is one of those. Click on the picture to make it beeger.

 Have a sweet humpday!

Legends Of Memory

Are you ready for a hefty dose of nostalgia? The following rare photos are packed with legendary influencers of our time such as Elvis Presley, Mick Jagger, The Beatles and Madonna. Yeah. So don't act like you're not going to click the see more button below the picture. Enjoy!

Song of the Week: Grouplove - Colours

I heard this song on the radio recently and immediately loved it. For weeks I scoured the Internet trying to find any trace of an artist name or song title - but alas, with not even a single lyric to go off, it was near impossible (IDEA: how about hum-a-tune search functionality, Google?)...

Until, one fateful day, the song made a resurgence. I immediately SoundHounded it and the rest - as they say - is his story. Check it out. Like it; love it; +1 it. Whatever.

The Plastics Release Music Video For Caroline

The Plastics have released a new sexy music video just in time for the Spring flux of raging hormones. Check it out.

Who is the guy making out with the girl on the couch? He looks super familiar. Free kudos to whoever can give him a name. Later!

Studio Diary [Day 1]

I'm in the studio with Heather Waters this week tracking six songs for her new album. Here are some photos from last night. Much fun was had - you can tell because I'm rocking a tambourine.

Win Tickets To The Arrows Live In Cape Town

Durban-based pop duo, The Arrows, will be performing at Zula on Saturday night, and I've been charged with the pleasurable task of giving away a double set of tickets to said event.

All you have to do is comment on this blog post with the name and URL of your favourite local blog. There's no obligation for it to be my blog - honest. Come on, it's a pretty easy way of saving R65 on tickets. So it's:

• name
• email address
• favourite local blog/website (name and URL)

Good luck! For more info on the gig, check out the Facebook event. Later.

Strike/Vandalism/Riot In Cape Town

BREAKING NEWS: this is happening right now (13:55, 16 August 2011) in Cape Town CBD. For more information check out CapeTimes or News24.

Obviously there's a big difference between setting a dustbin alight and burning down an entire building, but still - this is a great display of the power of social media. I'm willing to take a large bet that these strikers were at least partially inspired by the London Riots.

 

Breede Vibes [Video]

We went away to the Breede River this past weekend. The time spent there is always too eventful, hilarious and debaucherous for words - but this video provides a basic outline as to a normal day's activities by the River. Ninja Pong, drinking, poi, cooking, sleeping, dancing and just messing around in general. Present: Grizzle, Misread, Megan, Melissa, Jenn, Paul and Rory. Checkit:
