NewsRocking the Daisies 2010 line up 06 Sep 10 (BizCommunity) The Rocking the Daisies', Walking the Daisies and Cycle to Daisies events will be held again this year, starting Friday, 8 October, 2010. There is a star-studded line-up and on-site tented accommodation is available.... >> More  Kulture Noir 25 Aug 10 (Mahala) If ever there was a woman who marched to her own beat, it's this one. With her regal sense of style, genre-defying music and steady refusal to bow to trends, Simphiwe Dana has balanced sales, SAMAs and street cred to rise above her many contemporaries in a relatively short s... >> More Goth Fans and Foos Girls 25 Aug 10 (Mahala) Goth fans of country pop bands fascinate me. Not that there are any country pop bands other than Wrestlerish, that I know of, that have cute goth girls down front chanting the lyrics; verse and chorus. Wrestlerish have been touring hard and at the Saturday Mercury gig with t... >> More The Golden Ticket 24 Aug 10 (Mahala) Okay [insert witty insult here] we got ONE DOUBLE TICKET ONLY to Saturday's gig. And the next Saturday. And the next Saturday. Until the end of the year. Yes! You could have a plus one on the guest list for every Saturday at The Assembly until the end of the year. And all yo... >> More Tale of a Rugby Heathen 23 Aug 10 (Mahala) Behind the boerewors curtain disciples sit steadfast, silent in support of the green and gold. The service is about to start, the air heavy and devout. The barmaid, double chinned and bulldog jowled, pours and skulks, skulks and pours. A T-shirt bearing the slogan 'Come have... >> More Premature Detonation 23 Aug 10 (Mahala) I suppose there is no better way to get over that World Cup 'come down' than 'blowing some shit up', as my editor so eloquently put it. And by the look of De Waal drive backed up and the crowds that came out on this typically grey, miserable morning, a large part of Cape To... >> More Shark 20 Aug 10 (Mahala) At the album launch, the Plastics are introduced with something along the lines of: 'And here are the Plastics, their new album was produced by Gordon Raphael, you know, the guy who produced the Strokes!' Alarm bells go off - oh shit, guys, if this is the horse you are ridin... >> More Videocracy 20 Aug 10 (Mahala) Italians have a popular representation in cinema and literature: macho, Machiavellian, masculine - perfectly dramatic, their musical language with its curvaceous notes; their gesticulating fingers, their goon-honour in the Godfather. So, it comes as nothing other than affirm... >> More A Crutch called a Comma 19 Aug 10 (Mahala) Sometimes, although not all that frequently, I find myself wondering, which is, perhaps, in the context of Mahala, a better word to use here than ruminating - more modern, less UCT English Honours - why it is that contributors to this online publication (or possibly 'zine, b... >> More Schuks Tshabalala 19 Aug 10 (Mahala) I watched Leon Shitster's new film Schuks Tshaba-blah-blah and made some notes. I only call him 'shitster' because I'm jealous. Jealous that most hit films in the history of South Africa are Schuster films. Jealous because he seems to be having way too much f... >> More The Horn Man Who Died In His Sleep 18 Aug 10 (Mahala) A Tribute to Ezra Ngcukana. My first exposure to live jazz was at about 12 years old with the Henry February band who at the time boasted a frontline of Ezra Ngcukana on alto,tenor & soprano, brother Duke Ngcukana on trumpet, Winston Mankunku on tenor and later Willy H... >> More Patrice and Me 18 Aug 10 (Mahala) The Convention Centre's bright lights intuit my bank balance and dim on my entrance. Slender billionaire playboy, Patrice Motsepe, mute BEE poster boy, is arriving soon so the welcoming blaze is being saved for the real money. At the Media desk, I gush with politeness. The h... >> More Hipster Flow 18 Aug 10 (Mahala) Drowning in a sea of moving adolescent bodies - I'm awaiting the release of a build up of excitement. A build up that's been building up for days already. It happens in the moment the crowd meets the opening of 'A Devil in a Midnight Mass' with a roar. This is going to be ab... >> More Rare chance to spend “An Evening With Alice Walker” 17 Aug 10 (JT Communications) The Steve Biko Foundation is offering Gautengers a rare chance to spend “An Evening with Alice Walker”.... >> More The Standard Bank Joy of Jazz 2010 - Community Outreach Project 16 Aug 10 (Total Exposure) Johannesburg’s premier music event, The Standard Bank Joy of Jazz, gives back in 2010 with two free concerts that contribute to the festival’s on-going audience development initiatives.... >> More Global Shorthand 14 Aug 10 (Mahala) Stigma Friendly. Imagine an endless supply of Colombian blow at your disposal. If that's what you're into. Or inheriting Hacienda Napoles from your late uncle Pablo. Both sound like ways to climb up that stagnated Latin social ladder. But not all of us Colombians have access... >> More Slang Lag 13 Aug 10 (Mahala) Dating younger is a fetish. It tends to end badly. One of the (more minor) things sealing the impossibility of ah inter-generational romance, besides life experience, or whatever, is slang dissonance. Or slang lag. Yours is older. Theirs is kind of up to the minute. Or vice ... >> More Fashion fete set for Cape Town 12 Aug 10 (BizCommunity) All eyes are on Cape Town Convention Centre as the Mother City welcomes the creme de la creme of fashion to the Spring-Summer 2011 fashion week.... >> More The A-Holes 12 Aug 10 (Mahala) The A-Team plays cannibal to its own history. Consuming decades of banal Hollywood gristle, it spits out every cliche, every time-worn trope, yanks at every fruit which dares to hang within the adolescent's grubby reach - and the result is predictably bullshit. The thing is,... >> More Pixie Sweat 12 Aug 10 (Mahala) The first time I went to Origin I was picked up by the back of my dress and thrown out the door by a bouncer three times my size. I had accidently taken the fact that about five people were smoking on the lower balcony as a signal that this was the smoking section. Instead o... >> More |
