Cutting Jade – Go Your Own Way
For those of you who know me, know that I am a huge Cutting Jade groupie roadie fan :) I have known the guys for about the last 13 years, and when I stayed in GP, I used to go out with them to loads of gigs. They had a huge smash hit with 10 Seconds a couple of years ago, and have since made a couple more albums, which unfortunately due to some play list selectors opting to ignore the hits :(
The boys have just released a new single, which is a remake of the Fleetwood Mac hit, “Go your own way“. The song was produced by the acclaimed South African producer, KevinLeicher, and has a distinctive Cutting Jade feel to it, and Andrew’s, the lead singer, voice really pulls through in the song.
Below is a press release from Authentic Idea’s about the new release:
An exceptional version of the Fleetwood Mac smash hit – Go Your Own Way is being distributed to radio stations across the country today as Cutting Jade releases the embargo on their latest recorded single.
Kevin Leicher – SAMA nominated producer and top SA live musician (Arno Carstens, Chris Chameleon, Josie Fields, and Louise Carver) lent his genius to the recreation of this worldwide radio single.
Go Your Own Way – Cutting Jade style – is an intoxicating sing-a-long party rock song with all the hallmarks of a new future hit. Play it loud, play it everywhere. Send it to your friends. Let Go Your Own Way be your anthem for this summer season!
Cutting Jade is renowned for their spirited power driven performances, amazing rock ballads and stadium sized rock anthems. This five piece Pretoria powerhouse is one of the longest standing rock bands in SA; which like a good wine, just keeps on improving and impressing.
Catch Cutting Jade this summer around SA performing Go Your Own Way and all their other favourite songs.

Don’t Panic – Alan Knott-Craig
I was browsing around my local Fascination books earlier this week, trying to look for a book to keep me occupied while being beaten down by the “Internet flu” that seems to be doing the rounds.
And then I picked a book called “Don’t Panic” by Alan Knott Craig Jr., the MD if IBurst. Many of you may recall that earlier this year, a blog post of an email that Alan had sent to all the Iburst staff, became an overnight phenomenon. Basically the just of the email was that we should all just take a step back and try not to look at all the negatives that the country is(was) experiencing. Don’t worry about load-shedding, and don’t start packing for Perth.
The email grew into a phenomenon, and started getting loads of replies, and an idea was born into, that a book should be published of all the positives that people see in this country. And so the book “Don’t panic” was published by Penguin books and Iburst. It is a very easy read and at only R50(Discounted to R42.50 at Kalahari), its a bargain. The book basically consists of letters written by ordinary South Africans, right from a 12 year old boy, right up to some well known celebrities and South African dignitaries.
What also is really cool, is at the end of the book, they pose the question: “So what now ?”, and offer links to a couple of websites & blogs that offer “Good South African News”. Included in this list is our very own Local Blogebrity “Nic the Greek” from SARocks.co.za. Nice one Nic !
But I want to share this awesome book. So I had a brainwave, that I’m going to share it with the SA blogosphere. If you are keen and want to read the book, then leave a comment below, and send me your postal address. I will then send the book to you, and as soon as you done with it, you can write a post, and share it with the next person, and post it along to them. And carry on like that and that way everyone can read and be inspired by this fantastic book. Or if you want your own copy order one from Kalahari.net
