APOGEE MINI-ME
This is the smallest high-end input channel I can travel with. It has the same components as the big studio I have at home, but it can fit in a suitcase. Look at the knobs on the side. They’re bent because Virgin aren’t so good with luggage handling.

MICROPHONE
This is an exact copy of the mic I stole from Radio One a few years ago when I was broke. I recorded the whole of my second album on that stolen one. I liked it so much that I just gave them back their mic and got my own. It’s a Russian make of microphone called a Neumann.
TYLENOL EXTRA STRENGTH
These are as good as painkillers. It says you should only take eight in 24 hours, but if you take between 15 and 20, you get through the pain.

REEBOKS
I’m going to be wearing these non-stop for the next 18 months. I’m in the new British Reebok campaign. Part of the reason I’m in New York right now is to escape the billboards and bus adverts of me in Reeboks.



CLUB SANDWICH
I have become an expert on club sandwiches. I don’t think I have ever stayed at a hotel where there wasn’t a club sandwich on the room service menu. You can tell a lot about a hotel by their club sandwich. They do a good one here. As you can see, I don’t like pickles at all.


KENNY ROGERS CONCERT PROGRAM
This is definitely in the top five concerts I have been to in my entire life. I’m a big fan. I really like story songs, and he’s a master of that. I never thought I would get to see him, so this was amazing. I think my favorite record of his is Coward of the County. Also, his early group the First Edition were great.

GUCCI TRAVEL BAG
I am aware that fannypacks, or bumbags as we say in England, are not cool. But they are perfectly acceptable when traveling. I’ve lost so many boarding passes and passports that I need a rock-solid method of storage on my person.
iPod
This is my third iPod. I think I’m the only person in the world who’s had a really reliable experience with iPods. Never a problem. The iPod god likes me.

COMEDY-WRITING BOOK
It’s interesting the way that jokes are structured. This book reminds me of Barcelona. I spent the whole time I was last there reading this book. I put it in my suitcase this time around because I always pack books I want to make sure I’ll read. But actually it’s wishful thinking and I don’t read anything. I just watch films when I fly.

LAPTOP
I’m planning on getting this painted. You know how in the 80s everyone had their own custom guitar? Like Eddie Van Halen. For my next album, I want the laptop in the photos with me, but customized. Maybe with a mural of palm trees.

?: has Mike Skinner released anything that could be deemed tolrable for audible consumption???
A: No, so far his releases and side projects gigs and videos have been a stain on an otherwise steadily growing nu wave of U.K Musicians, i think he should spend more time out of the U.k and leave space for the Better U.K acts,,,,,, the piss take remixes are funny though........

This whole issue made no sense to me. I don't see what makes Mike Skinner or almost any of the other famous people interesting and it seems to fall into the mindless celebrity worship that Vice usually doesn't lower itself to. Instead of talking to the Streets guy or Chloe Sevigny or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, why not find paranoid schizophrenics who collect teddy bears that they think can talk to them? Why not talk to people who collect things that are interesting? Are these things supposed to be boring? Is the reader supposed to be bored and unengaged? Was there a reason for this issue to exist. This is not clever like the Erik Lavoie issue was. This is just a letdown.

Mike Skinner likes sneakers and a computer and an iPod.

Any 17-year-old "Next-White-Dr. Dre" bedroom beat maker (who bothered to buy a Recording for Dummies book) can tell you that Neumanns are the best mics out there, and they're GERMAN dumbass.

Russians aren't kinky enough to produce quality microphones (or cars) duh. Everybody knows that you have to have a massively repressed populace full of weird porn going before you can design quality mics or automobiles...see Japan.

on second thought fist yourself with them...

i guess i am a little pissed...
this is the last time I will be reading vice... the reebok plug killed it for me... whatever ou think about Mike Skinner, guys got some talent and probably didnt take this all too seriously.. sometimes talent has to be protected from itself.. vice editors should have canned that lame ass Reebok plug that ends with him talking about wanting to get away from his own billboards...Chav or not, fuck you for growing so lame and big you let something so stupid get past you.. come on guys the buzz is you have lost it...i was willing to put up with things mellowing a bit, but this is tripe...

i wont be reading you again and will be staying away from products from your advertisers because i think in six months to a year all your stereet cred will vanish...i'll look like a tool using anything you recommend...

next thing you know you'll be selling Napoleon Dynamite t-shirts to stay relevant with the kiddie crowd, maybe some Pepsi- Iggy Pop promotion...ohhhhh I know you can take your converse and wade through all the shit you write, then sell them... preworn bullshit stained converse for the hipster too lazy too earn the wear himself...

This guy is from England, and who gives a shit? You know what Mike Skinner proves, that no matter where you are in Europe, or South Asia, or anywhere on that side of the globe, some teeth-rotting cadre of english ponces are running through the streets (no pun indended), yelling "HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!" ruining your good time.

Everyone in England is either a fopish dandy or a football scally trying to prove to the world that he's NO FOPISH DANDY, OI! Also, you stole a mic from the beeb---? What kind of European Negro are you??

"A Pro-Barf Buy"
-Article from Marketing Magazine, April 2004

"We've had (advertisers) say 'tone your content down,' and we tell them to fuck off," says Smith. "Because the minute we do we're dead."

"Vice grows up to be more ad-friendly"
-Article from Marketing Magazine, Tuesday November 1, 2005

Youth magazine Vice is growing up. The 11-year-old title, infamous for its provocative photos of everything from drug use and sex to bodily functions, is toning down the racier elements of its editorial approach in a bid to attract more ads.

In a letter sent to advertisers in September, Vice editor Jesse Pearson pledged the magazine will feature “less flippant commentary and no more gratuitous shock value.” The publication–which produces 10 editions in 13 countries and has a worldwide circulation of about 600,000–is “growing up a bit” says Pearson.

Erik Lavoie, Vice’s Brooklyn,N.Y.-based associate publisher, says the magazine has been gradually changing its editorial approach over the past several months. The “new” Vice, he says, will include more feature-type stories on fashion, art and culture. He doesn’t expect the new direction to impact the freebie’s 100%pick-up rate, and predicts that “it will attract more advertising.”
