The baby from Nirvana's 'Nevermind' turns 20 years old

I used to party to “Smells Like Teen Spirit” at The Playground nightclub every weekend. Can’t believe it’s been 20 years. Poignant this. [Via Twitter and The Blaze]

Johnny Cash time

Johnny has a knack of taking the songs that other people write and taking outright ownership of them, like this version of Depeche Mode’s ‘Personal Jesus’ (see also Nine Inch Nails ‘Hurt’).

With a voice as dark as night and lyrics straight out the black belly of hell, Johnny Cash has a knack of taking a simple story and embedding it in your brain.

A trip to Missing Link in Jozi is not your usual corporate-style meeting

Postcard_03

Earlier this week I visited legendary business dude, public speaking-extraordinaire and good friend Rich Mulholland in Jozi in his new offices. I was thoroughly disappointed. No plastic pot plants. No waiting room with brown pleather seats. No muzak. No secretary with power suit to offer me instant coffee while I waited. Instead I had to bide my time up a tree-house; sliding down fireman's poles; firing in a shooting gallery and listening to Sepultura while eating Belgian waffles. I was so bored I even considered getting a free tattoo in Missing Link's in-house tattoo parlour. Check out www.missinglink.co.za.for more disruptive and creative goodness.

Do these guys make corporate videos?

I want one for World Wide Creative just like this.

Fred Roed's Space

I'm the CEO of digital marketing agency World Wide Creative and co-founder of The Heavy Chef Project. I'm a husband, father, marketer, brand strategist, entrepreneur, pizza lover, beer guzzler, wine quaffer, whiskey drinker, Simpsons watcher and world traveller. I live in a sleepy, eccentric little fishing village called Hout Bay near the southern tip of Africa. I believe in God, the Internet and rock n' roll. I'm a massive Creedence fan, and I happen to have seen John Fogerty perform live. I'm also pretty sure I saw Elvis once, at the Pick n' Pay in Tableview.
