Mumford Lolz

I AM a huge fan of Mumford & Sons. I have a Pinterest board of them, I have their CD's on repeat in my car, and I'm pretty certain I will cry if I ever get to see them live (that much of a fan).

SO WHEN I saw this video… I realized what happiness is. Happiness is Jason Bateman, Ed Helms, Jason Sudeikis and that guy from Saturday Night Live acting as the band in the Hopeless Wanderer music video.

AMAZING.

Happy Cobain

MY DAD has a pretty great music collection, introducing me to the likes of Counting Crows, Matchbox 20, Radiohead, REM, Live and Nirvana. I got a little obsessed with Nirvana and Kurt Cobain and even read the compilation of his journals.

COBAIN would have turned 45 year old in 2012. To celebrate this, Flavorwire published 29 photos of him looking happy - photos that are quite rare if you've seen some of his other pics. So here are a few of my favorite ones.

Cape Town Will Capture My Heart

I HAVE just returned from a week break in Cape Town, the place that the more I visit, the more it feels like a second home.

WE VISITED one of my favourite places in the entire world, the Drakenstein Lion Park. It's a park that rescues lions from circuses or owners that aren't taking care of them properly (one owner kept a lion cub on a balcony in Lebanon). The lions are then brought to the park where they live a happy life in large enclosures (unfortunately they can't return back into the wild). They also just received two tigers from the Tygerberg Zoo which just closed down so of course we had to go visit the latest additions!

Is this not the happiest pic of a lion you've ever seen?!?

The tiger addition.

Little Leo, rescued from Lebanon.

Asad, also a Lebanon rescue.

What an epic show! They resurrected my love for them that has been dormant for a few years but now I'm gonna go out and buy every album I've missed over the years. Chester's scream still makes my knees go weak. And Mike made rapping look cool again. I got the below images from Big Concerts as my images weren't too great with my little point-and-shoot camera but the videos came out well.

UNFORTUNATELY MOST of the other videos either have the boyf singing loudly in the background or shakes around too much. Here is the best vid we got of the night...

AND THEN it was back to Durbs...

Spicey Terry

OLD SPICE commercials are effing great. Exhibit A...

NOW THEY'VE created something even greater, an interactive commercial. With Terry Crews. Each key on the keyboard results in Terry (wearing teeny tiny shorts and connected to different instruments) playing or doing a certain move. Yes, it's the best thing you will find on the Internet. Exhibit B...



SAUSAGES! Now go have fun, kids...

Give In To Me

I HAVE never, repeat never, been a country music fan. Just never been into the whining and banjos. So when Country Strong came out I didn't exactly rush out to see it but I was somewhat curious as Leighton Meester is in it. I'm a huge Blair Whaldorf fan so I tend to love whatever Leighton is in. I didn't expect how much I would enjoy the music, this one in particular...




"I'm gonna wear you down, I'm gonna make you see, I'm gonna get to you, You're gonna give in to me." 

 I'VE NEVER been a big fan of Gwyneth Paltrow either. But I must confess, she was great in the movie and looked incredible... well, when she wasn't drunk or crying.

I THINK my Hart of Dixie obsession is converting me to a country music lover. I might need an intervention.

Walking Soundtrack

A COLLEAGUE of mine asked me what song I would want playing as I was walking along or when I walked into a room. Without a doubt it has to be this song...

YES I do want to click my fingers and walk with some swagger every time I hear this song. Every time.And then I saw another awesome video from 500 Days of Summer, the epic movie that it is.

WHAT WOULD your soundtrack to life be?
