[Johann Smith] The word alternative has become misleading and common. Nowadays, if you want to be alternative, your choices are limited between becoming a farmer, a Christian fundamentalist or staying a virgin. If we could go back, to '69 or '76, before the word was coined - and perhaps even further, to a time, when rock 'n' roll came without sex and drugs, and paused at the second Chuck Berry discovered electricity, we would know why we're here. Yesterday's conservative society shouldn't have warned us about the devil, but of boredom instead. 22 Feb 2012 12:26
The Cape Town Book Fair is to return to the Mother City in a new and remodelled format between Friday, 15 and Sunday, 17 June, 2012. This year, the fair will have a strong trade element to enhance its "marketplace appeal". 22 Feb 2012 10:23
[Daniel Dercksen] The battle of the sexes, warfare for the same girl and rivalry amongst friends have never been so much fun! This delightful rom-com/ bromance-buddy actioner This Means War is entertainment with a capital E, which is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. 22 Feb 2012 10:08
Independent local fashion brands Take Care and Adriaan Kuiters have opened the Kloof Street Boutique at 73 on Kloof, Cape Town. The partners share parallel design aesthetics, an obsession with simplicity and similar clientele base. 21 Feb 2012 10:42
The winners of the Sanlam/LitNet Sing 'it competition, launched in September, 2011, have been announced. All nine songs are available for free download until 12 March, 2012. 21 Feb 2012 10:18
[Daniel Dercksen] There's a susceptible sensibility that is eminent in Steven Spielberg's films that, ultimately, reveals itself spectacularly through the lens of the camera, performances of the actors, tempo and pace of the editor, music score by the composer, and the creative team that brings his extraordinary vision to life. War Horse is no exception. 21 Feb 2012 09:38
[Anna-Bet Bester] We recently broke the news that the newest offering from P.H.Fat, an EP entitled 'You are going to Die', will be made available for free download through their website www.phfat.co.za. Good news - the day has come and, as good as their word, the tunes are waiting to be downloaded right this second. 20 Feb 2012 15:00
[Ruth Cooper] P.H. Fat don't know much for sure, but they do know this: "You are going to die" and if you are reading this you are not dead yet, congratulations. Nothing to do with doomsday prophesies, the EP title "You Are Going to Die", off P.H. Fat's second musical offering ( hitting webs today) is rather an attempt at something truly honest and certain; a fact that we all know for sure. 20 Feb 2012 11:50
The Africa Centre's Infecting The City Public Art Festival, which will be held in the streets and public spaces of Cape Town from 6 to 10 March, 2012, will feature a seminar on art in public places 20 Feb 2012 10:07
[Maike Gevers] Picture a night out at the theatre and chances are you'll conjure up an image of a large hall, dressed-up audience members wearing old-fashioned make-up, the aroma of sneeze-making perfume, a big red curtain hiding elaborate stage props and, of course, the crinkling noise of someone trying to eat chocolate Whispers discreetly . 17 Feb 2012 09:07
Mahala, in association with The Assembly, will be hosting its inaugural Debuts & Experiments party this weekend, Saturday, 18 February 2012, featuring a lineup that you probably haven't seen before. Curated by Mahala's big cheese Roger Young, the event will host Manqoba, Oxblood, MacGyver Knife, Exorsistahs and one other act. Best part of all - if you're penniless - it's free! 16 Feb 2012 12:34
[Daniel Dercksen] This truthful and outstanding local film is a wonderful example of what Proudly South African filmmaking and storytelling are all about. Sincere in its telling and significant in its delivery, writer-director Craig Freimond and his team give us a passionate and endearing portrait of the Muslim community and life in South Africa. It is not a film about comedy, but uniquely explores the ability of humour as a potent and proficient weapon to break down conventional and conservative barriers and embrace cultural and social differences. 16 Feb 2012 11:36
[Andra le Roux-Kemp] The small town of Darling (about an hour's drive from Cape Town) is not only home to the (in)famous First Lady of South Africa, Evita Bezuidenhout, but is also, according to the organisers of the seventh Darling Music Experience, the favourite holiday destination of German composer Johann Sebastian Bach. 16 Feb 2012 11:18
