I hadn’t been over to my favourite time-wasting site in a while, so I decided to click through to explosm.net and browse some Cyanide and Happiness comics. Pick Up Lines for the Modern Man What do they say about Beauty and its Beholder…? Anything You Can Do You Are what You Eat…? I’m forever indebtedContinue reading “It’s Okay to Laugh, I Promise”

German publisher Gerhard Steidl is reported to have said that his favourite smell was that of a freshly printed book. While this may seem a little bizarre, as most people would probably site aromas from food or flowers as their favourite smells, Steidl was able to convince a perfumer and a couture giant to humourContinue reading “Paper Passion”

I have said many times before, but YouTube really is amazing. This Afrikaans version of Shaggy and Ricardo “RikRok” Ducent’s 2001 hit, It Wasn’t Me just made my day. He translated the entire song into Afrikaans, then gave a pretty good performance- lollipop in hand, and a few teeth unaccounted for- and I think he’sContinue reading “Video of The Week”

For months I was seeing pictures like this on blogs: I always wonder “how do they do that?” Well, I read about a website that helps people to make their own .gif images.I don’t really have any pictures of myself doing anything in sequence, like a dance move or anything, but I did manage toContinue reading “My First GIF”

I endorse almost anything that Pharrell is involved in, and this song just has signs of his production all over it. Leah has signed a joint recording contract with L.A. Reid’s Epic, Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def, as well as Pharrell’s I Am Other labels, and is currently recording her debut album. I really likeContinue reading “This Is Leah Labelle.”

And it continues. I decided to see what type of music Minnie Riperton did, and I found that she did the original version of what I have always known as “that song there with that really high note in it (that all the African American comedies have spoofed at least once)”. Minnie Riperton – Lovin’Continue reading “She Did "Lovin’ You"? Oh. My. Goodness.”

The song, from Drake’s Take Care album, has made quite an impact on many artists in the industry. It seems like everyone from Teyana Taylor, to JoJo, and from Joelle James to Chris Brown, has felt the need to put their own spin on what can be described as “the drunk-dialling song”. The first timeContinue reading “Marvin’s Room”

Is it safe for people to openly admit that they like Chris Brown’s music now? I mean, has The Incident with RiRi blown over?If it isn’t, and you’re still debating whether or not you’re a Breezy fan, I suggest Boy In Detention.The mixtape itself has been available since August last year, but I only discoveredContinue reading “Detention is A Great Place for Making Music, It Seems”

I have waited, and waited (and waited) for the start of the second season of what is possibly the funniest web series ever.I can’t remember exactly how I discovered Awkward Black Girl, but I know that Jay, Nina and Baby Voice Darius are just hilarious. It’s pure genius how Issa Rae and her people haveContinue reading “Season 2. Finally.”

Sony Music Africa’s two most noted acts of the moment, kasi-soul a capella trio The Soil and the singer who is giving a new, exciting meaning to the term “pop music” Toya Delazy, in the studio: The video shows the young musicians collaborating on With You, a track off of Delazy’s recently released debut, DueContinue reading “Delazy and The Soil”
