Sidersky

I have an incredibly helpful and patient wife who regularly removes my straps and pad/liner thingies and they go safely into a little net pouch doodad with clothes in the washing machine. The helmet itself I then wash when I’m doing my bike and shoes with my normal soap & Clean Green mix. If I do a 60 or 80km ride sometimes I can come back with a black visor and straps from the sweat and dust. I see other guys with straps that are black or brown at the start of a ride and that is just plain gross.

The video is approaching a quarter million views on YouTube. For a South African music video, thats pretty phenomenal. Well done to all involved. There are a few people involved I know personally and they are all pretty overwhelmed at the public reaction to it. As cheesy as it may sound, it's almost like we all just needed this right now. Just a tiny little bit of positivity and happiness.

I’m embarrassed to admit this but I still have ‘doubles’ in my CD collection of albums where I saw a cover in a store and went ‘Damn, that’s a good album, I should get that…’ only to get home and discover I already have it but only ever saw the spine… Now, when I see copies of albums I love on sale or special, I buy them anyway so I have spares for when they disappear completely, especially South African music…

I could put this in a few different threads I guess but I haven't been as excited to watch something on TV as I am for this next weekend... Going to the show was just not a possibility, financially, but this will be a pretty decent substitute.

Yes. Very odd line up. I contemplated making an effort to go to see Vedder.. but to be there all day for a 20 minute set? No...

I felt for Eddie Vedder though. Trying to get a response from a Beyonce crowd. I hope he comes back with PJ one day though.

From what I've seen and read on social media Karen and Theo (SNG) and Jesse, Johnny's son.

Did you see Bob Geldof's appearance at FNB Sunday? Now THAT was cringe-worthy.

I guess then his son who did this for him as a surprise with several people (like Ard, Karen, Arno, Zolani etc) whi are Clegg family friends was ill advised? Interesting. I thought it came from a good place and was well intended. Johnny has been very open about his fight with cancer and I think the SA music industry acknowledging his massive, massive contribution now while he is around to appreciate it means more to me than the cliched, obligatory posthumous tribute albums and concerts...

Ditto. I have everything he has officially released, and when I tried to count I got up to around 50 shows that I've been to, from Juluka through to the Johnny Clegg Band. I was incredibly lucky to go backstage at a show in 2016 and spend time with him and Sipho. I had no idea Johnny was undergoing chemo at the time.

Not better, no. The original is a bona fide classic. The whole Heat Dust & Dreams album is perfect. But this project is amazing. So many faces and voices. Having Dave Matthews and Peter Gabriel involved is pretty cool too. If you enjoyed the video, then this is a must watch. Johnny's reaction when they showed him this which he knew nothing of. The love and bond between Johnny and Jesse is also something special.

Love TFF My favourite performance of theirs... Knebworth 1990 This band was toit like a toiger.

So maybe this is the right opportunity for you to help this clueless moegoe and explain what the big 'thing' is about sock length in cycling... Asseblief.

This is funnier to me than it should be.

I’m pretty sure quite a few females would lady-fap to Magnum back in his heyday, big ‘tache, hairy chest and all.

I have a pretty similar story. And I originally submitted my E Filing on Sunday the 1st of July...

Seen this before but goosebumps every time.

Wow... My heart stopped a few times in that. Holy crap.

I loved the dog biscuits and the 'milkshake'. Was talking to some young interns here, I think the convo started about the John Steenhuisen not having a degree debacle. I said I also did not get a degree as when I finished matric my choice was the army or prison, effectively. They had no idea that we had conscription back then. It's apparently not part of the school syllabus so it was complete news to them.

Anyone catch the Global Citizen concert at FNB Stadium last night, and specifically Eddie Vedder? Was great to watch on YT but I am very glad I didn't do as some of my mates did and spend the day in that stadium to see him for 20 minutes.

To quote Jason Isbell... Those were different days...

Excellent series that, enjoyed season 1 and really enjoyed season 2.

So speaking of Mahindra... Thoughts on Haval? I'm seeing more and more on the road. And they aren't the worst looking SUVs on the road... Anyone?

Was anyone at this? Would have loved to see and hear the Hoonicorn up close but man those two ex WRC/WRX Polo's are incredible.

To be honest, I had Showmax for several months and in a week I've watched more on Amazon than I did on Showmax... Edit to add I love Netflix. Still the best interface, IMO, and I love the quality of the original stuff they produce. Drama, comedy and doccie.
