Happy Birthday Chuck Norris!

I am absolutely loving Sasha Martinengo’s show on 5FM this morning with the Chuck Norris jokes. There have been some absolute pearlers there. I’m going to try and update during the day but feel free to post some in the comments section below:
Happy 70th birthday Chuck!

Bundublog.com wants your podcasts

Fancy yourself as a podcaster? Think you can entertain a community? Want some airtime for your new band? Then Bundublog.com wants to talk to you.
We have been spending quite a lot of time sorting out some of the tech issues behind Bundublog and our focus is now shifting to making the site a destination for [...]

Jacaranda FM

I don’t know if anybody has noticed recently but when you flick to Jacaranda FM the artist name and song title now scrolls across the display in your car radio?
I think it is quite a nifty addition and I’d assume it would have to do with the way the song details are being sent to [...]

You’re so vain

I was under the impression that it had been decided that Carly Simons song “You’re so vain” was about Warren Beatty, but apparently I am wrong.
Big news on CNN apart from from an earthquake which has hit Chile is that Carly dropped a line into another song which gives the clue that it is a [...]

Radio Twits

Thought it would be a little bit of fun to see which of the SA radio DJ’s / personalities had the biggest following on Twitter.
While a Twitter following is not indicative of real popularity and listenership, it is quite obvious which stations have backed the technology / social media initiatives.
I’ve picked the obvious ones but [...]

The Parlotones over-commercial?

I picked up this really good post by Slick Tiger about the Parlotones and while I don’t totally agree with all the comments which were made, I do think that it raises a couple of points about bands being over-commercialised.
(As an aside on that post – read the full thing before commenting). I was ready [...]

No Coke Fest 2010?

There seems to be some uncertainty about their not being a Coke Fest 2010 on the cards. I can’t find any official announcement that the event has been cancelled for the year, but a couple of local blogs have said that with Cokes Football World Cup commitments they are focusing their attention elsewhere this year?
Obviously [...]

Geez it irritates me!

I was young once and used to drive into parking lots with my music a little louder than it probably had to be. The sound system in my Toyota Tazz wasn’t great but it made a bit of a racket as I pulled in.
It was a phase, I got over it.
When you are on the other side [...]

Jack Parow – the Vernon Koekemoer of 2010

In 2008 Vernon Koekemoer leapt to prominence as “South Africa’s own Chuck Norris” getting coverage in almost every form of media going.
This year it would appear that a new social craze is developing in the form of “romantic Afrikaans rap star” Jack Parow.
I first was alerted to Parow after I saw a couple of my friends on Facebook joining his group which [...]
