  BEATS AND RHYMES
I think Dante Ross should get an award for being one of the best rap A&R guys of all time. In the early '90s, he was working at Elektra and had one of the best rosters in the history of rap. Del, Brand Nubian, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Leaders of the New School, ...Read more |
 THE MILES-HIGH CLUB
Salvia Divinorum Takes You to Outer Space
Every Friday Andrew WK calls up the morning show on Chicago's Mancow 101.FM and tells them what he did last week. This week's call was different: "I did this weird drug called salvia divinorum," he said enthusiastically. After recognizing the awkward silence t...Read more |
 BY DESIGN
Coming back from Japan is always a little freaky. The colors in your country don't look as bright, everything's filthy, and you realize that "presentation" for your native cuisine means cilantro and a cloth napkin for your club sandwich. Even the people look o...Read more |
 FRIENDLY SKIES
The Amazing Amazingness of In-Flight Mags
I'm a culture junkie and I need a variety of RESOURCES at my disposal at all times. If I somehow forget to buy my Cigar Aficionado at the airport, I'm on a six-hour flight with nothing but my head up my ass. I can't afford a culture blackout like that. That's ...Read more |

 BROOKLYN'S DA BOMB
If You're Into Second Best
New York City gets over 40 million visitors a year but only 12 percent of them ever end up checking out Brooklyn. Why is that? Brooklyn boasts 70 square miles of parks and gardens and quaint old bars. It's home to Busta Rhymes, Andre 3000, and the Nets! It's g...Read more |

 THE VICE GUIDE TO CANADA
That's right America. Canada is not cool. It's bigger than you, correct. It's home to great things like poutine (fries, cheese curds, gravy, repeat), Chester Brown's Louis Riel comics, SCTV, Rush, Jack Black, Gordon Lightfoot, Kids in the Hall, TV Carnage, hoc...Read more |

 BORED OF WAR
The Mess That Is the Holy Land
All we know about Israel is that we don't know nothing. Sure, Ariel Sharon is a fucking maniac and his new gigantic-fence idea is totally insane, but everyone knows that-Israelis and Palestinians alike. Even Bush thinks Sharon is out of control. Also, you have...Read more |

If Only Otis Was in Samoa
I just got back from Samoa, and I would like to be the first to say, "Holy fucking shit." I only went there to surf and hang around on the beach, but instead I got an eyeful of a verdant transsexual paradise that's left me questioning what it even is to be a b...Read more |

 LET'S GO PAKISTAN!
Kalashnikov Culture from North to South
From the American perspective, Pakistan isn't far from joining the so-called axis of evil. After Sept. 11, this generally spineless nation conveniently became a buddy in the fight against terrorism. But make no mistake-if its current government should fall, im...Read more |
 DIESEL THERAPY
Torturing Prisoners Legally Takes the Bus
Transit, better known as "diesel therapy" to the feds, is maybe the worst part of being incarcerated. Imagine being handcuffed with a chain around your waist securing the handcuffs to your stomach area. You can't move your arms up and down or side to side. You...Read more |

 KOMBUISTAAL ROCK
Koos Kombuis: Seks,Drugs, En Boeremusiek
Afrikaans was bietjie meer as 'n eeu gelede bekend as "kombuistaal", ondergeskik aan Engels en Hollands, iets wat gefluister is tussen die oond en die opwasbak. Vandag is dit natuurlik heeltemal anders, maar ons het weer eens 'n Kombuistaal-by name van die leg...Read more |
 BLOOD ON THE TERRACES
Hooliganism Is Back, and It's Better Than Ever
From Glasgow to Derby to Leeds to Wales and back up again, every week of my life I've traveled the country on trains and coaches looking for other gangs of like-minded young men to punch, kick, and stab. I'm violent. I know it's wrong, and on the one hand, I w...Read more |
