Captain Stu Live & Unplugged

Captain Stu has never had a full mention on these pages, and that is a great failing of ours. They are local Capetonians, and they’ve been going for around eight years. In that time Captain Stu have carved themselves a new genre, and a place in the hearts those of us who go to their [...]
We Broke It – Update

Last night Jason and I decided we didn’t like the layout of the page and tried to change it. After loading up the new theme we started poking around to figure out how to set it up and found lotsa stuff with php. Being complete noobs as well as being shitfaced we tried messing with [...]
‘Enter the Ninja’ Translated

If you haven’t seen the video for ‘Enter the Ninja’ by Die Antwoord you have most likely been living under a rock, in space, with no communication whatsoever. I’ve embedded it at the bottom of the post for you if that that’s the case. That’s not what this is about though. This is about the fact [...]
Ramfest Recalled Electronically

Due to the nature of the event in question my recollections are somewhat foggy.

Mass Murdering Cultural Icons of the Future

Che Guevara is vile. His revolutionist thoughts and ideas led to the slaughter of millions. If you truly believe that wearing a shirt with his face on makes you a symbol of counterculturism and socialist oh-so-cool, then this post is probably not for you. If you knew even a little about this man, you may [...]
Quay 4 Encourages Drunk Driving

Tuesday night was a friend’s birthday, to toast this fact we decided that it would be appropriate to meet up at Quay 4 in the Waterfront for a few drinks. I’m pretty sure I’ve been there before but it was quite some time ago. Regardless, it doesn’t have any bearing on this particular occasion. After much [...]
How to Get Your Contact Details OFF the National Consumer Database

Everyone is familiar with the annoying call centre bitch or bastard, who calls you up, is rude to you, tries to sell you something you don’t want and then refuses to tell you where they got your contact details from. In anger and final frustration, the Daily Discharge has had enough – today we show [...]
