Boo! Dag för Dag Release Party in Stockholm Tomorrow + Free MP3

It only took half a listen to Dag för Dag’s debut album Boo before we were on the phone asking them for an interview (that you can read in our upcoming The Whyte Tyger Izzue). It’s funny that these two American siblings ended up moving to Sweden together to start a band because, back when they were teenagers, Sarah was a punk goth vegan with hippe hair and black lipstick and Jake was a whigger listening to Dr. Dre in his Jeep going, “Boom-ticky-dey-da-drrrrm.” We asked for a picture of that but, instead, they sent the one above of them naked and peeing together. CUTE.
Their release party is tomorrow, Wednesday February 10, 8 PM at Södra Bar. The entry is free and it’s probably the last chance to see them live before Sarah gives birth to a baby drummer. Click here to download their single "Hands and Knees." Read more

THE GLASSING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD

Drunk British people love smashing things into each other’s face so much that somebody has invented a new pint glass that won’t break even if you plunge it into some poor cunt’s face at 2 AM in the street outside a bar where you can get triple shots of spirits for £5. Read more | Comments (30)

NEW ZEALAND - FESTIVAL DISPATCHES FROM THE EDGE OF THE MUSICAL WORLD

Most people in New Zealand have bad taste in music. And who can blame us really. We’re so fucking far away it’s like being at the bad end of Chinese Whispers, except it’s worse because there’s a bunch of continents playing and the whisper has been gang-raped by Lady Gaga, U2, and Tikki Tane. As you can imagine, the damage is often irreparable. Read more | Comments (8)

A LETTER FROM VEDDER

When the guy from Pearl Jam found out that Vice was releasing the new Pierced Arrows album (because we told him) he insisted on writing a blurb for the press materials (because we asked him). Yesterday morning that blurb arrived in the form of a handwritten note from Eddie Vedder. Read more | Comments (20)

THE PERFECT DEAD THING: REID PEPPARD

One couldn’t really say Reid Peppard is obsessed with dead things, exactly. More with finding beauty in and making use of discard. Thus, she builds purses and hair combs out of found animal carcasses. Recently featured on CNN, Reid and her work were called “garbage…stupid…crazy…disgusting” by people happy to wear leather and eat meat and eggs procured cheaply even though the lives of the producing animals are painful, cramped, and drugged from beginning to end; while Reid’s raw products lived scampering or high-flying through the streets, sewers, and skies of London right up until their demise...

AN OPEN LETTER TO LIBERIA

To Whom It May Concern,
Our recent Vice Guide to Liberia stirred a lot of controversy, and some misunderstanding about how we tell stories. We are not strangers to controversy, but this is different, and we would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any harm we may have caused to the image of Liberia. This was not our intent...

ALI G’S COUSIN MAKES REALLY GOOD MOVIES

I was smitten by Bang when I saw it at the fleapit cinema where I worked back in 1995. Here follows some facts about director Ash Baron Cohen. He’s Sacha’s cousin. He didn’t use his surname on his early films because he was working in America illegally. He’s legally blind without his contact lenses. He shot Bang, his first film, for $20,000, and he shot it great. Read more | Comments (4)

VBS - Illegal Border Crossing Park

The Mexican town of El Alberto lies 800 miles south of the US border in the state of Hidalgo. It’s pretty much like any other town of 3,000 people, except in El Alberto they offer tourists the chance to participate in a simulated illegal border crossing. It all happens at a standard recreational park with swimming pools, river trips, zip lines, and the other typical fare. We took a few cameras and headed...
