This guy’s burger was so good, he had to sing about it: Apparently, this video was edited using Songify, which is an android application that turns speech into music. It has already spawned quite a few covers, and it really did lift my spirits a little. I could watch it over and over again (andContinue reading “Oh My Dayum, I’m Singing about My Lunch!”

 “Formed December 2005, Desmond & The Tutus plays an  infectiously awesome blend of Rock ‘n Roll, Indie, Kwela,Pop  and Genius. You will have fun or else you will die. Not  because we’re going to get all offended and poke your eyes  out with sharp sticks or anything but rather because you’ll be  trampled to aContinue reading “Desmond and The Tutus”

I never know that one of these “national weeks” is coming up, unless I read about it on a blog or hear about it on radio. I mean, when was the last time anyone you know consulted an actual (paper) calendar about anything?Besides, these types of days only appear on some obscure government website, soContinue reading “National Book Week”

Cleaning is not just about housework, it’s also about changing a few things about one’s daily life. With the temperatures getting higher, hemlines moving further and further up past the knees, and the revival of the weekend traditions of braais and ice-cream happening all around, I decided it was time to finally do something aboutContinue reading “Spring Cleaning”

*warning: songs in this post contain explicit language. I heard this guy’s name mentioned in passing almost a year ago, and after hours of going through Google search results, and downloading mixtape after mixtape from DatPiff, I can say “I’m a fan”. This Compton, California native has me hooked with his well-placed samples, enticing beatsContinue reading “Do You Know Kendrick?”

So just under two hours ago South Africa’s edition of “The World’s Biggest Selling Fashion Magazine” had the Twittersphere in an absolute frenzy when they announced that the one and only Solange Knowles had just arrived at the airport for a shoot for the November issue. Solange Knowles. I never expected it, and at theContinue reading “#ELLELovesSolange”

I love a good soul song. There’s just something about this music that connects with me, even more so when the crooner in question is South African. Kabomo’s music is amazing. Lyrics, melodies, everything. This is Uzobuya, and the album All Things Grey is in stores now: Spotted: Nolwazi Shange, who played Dezi in OteloContinue reading “Sundays Are For Soul Music”

So I opened YouTube about 3 weeks ago, and the title of this one caught my eye. Then I watched it, and I thought “story of my life!” I absolutely hate when I send a message to someone, using one or more of the social networks we all have such easy access to (albeit hesitantContinue reading “Textually Active: Learn How To Use your Phones, People”

Some songs from the 21st birthday celebration I attended last night. Cameo – Candy. Sampled by Mariah Carey on “Lover Boy“. I always hear old songs, and think “I know a different version…”. I guess all 80s and 90s hits have been sampled by some or other next generation hip-hop/Rnb/pop artist who wanted to makeContinue reading “The Soundtrack to A Coming of Age”

Tristen, Kiki and Ricky as Darius, Germy Patty and Jerry in this spin-off video of the latest webisode of Awkward Black Girl : The leggings, the blouses, the fans and the oddly catchy tune (and that BoyzIIMen “dialogue before the bridge” thing Jerry does) all make this a pretty funny video. Especially the leggings. And theContinue reading “Awkward Jingles about Weight Loss Pills”
