Vice Magazine

Milos Mali, who took this charming chicken photo in our Still Lifes issue, is a charming Polish guy who lives and works in Sydney. He regularly takes pictures for Russh, Vogue, Oyster, and a bunch of other publications your little sister and I are constantly gushing over. While looking into his work, I realized I’d seen heaps of his images before without even knowing who he was, so meeting him was a bit like closing a massive circle in my visual memory banks. Here, we talk about models, magazines, London, photogenic-ness, and how overpriced cameras are a chumps’ game. MORE.

REPTILE AND RETARD TOURED CHINA AND SENT US SOME PHOTOS

In April 2010 Danish duo Reptile and Retard went to China on the longest tour a Danish band has ever been on in the massive country, playing everywhere from tiny punk venues to proper stages. After this long, half-nightmarish trip, riddled with police interference, sleeping on floors, eating suspicious-looking food and long days spent in a tiny van on sketchy highways-balanced out by lots of running around naked, swinging from ceilings, drinking pijos (Chinese for beer), turning crowds into moshpits and partying with Chinese rockers-they were appointed one of the top five live acts in all of China. (We tried to Google the accuracy of that last statement but failed to get any hits. Then again, combining Google and China is probably a bad idea at the moment.) MORE.

Patrick Mohr Likes Hermaphrodites

Some people call Patrick Mohr the poor man’s Bernhard Willhelm, while others simply call him that weird designer guy who puts on Deutschland’s craziest shows. His debut show at last summer’s Berlin Fashion Week featured homeless guys, and the most recent saw bald headed, topless men and women. The German press pretty much covered the whole range of opinions on him-from raving about his easygoing and actually wearable designs, to ranting about his lazy shock tactics and unhealthy looking models. We decided to stop by his studio to find out if he’s all hype, or if the weirdness has purpose. MORE.

HACKNEY’S EXPLODING

Rocky, the Irish viking who sits next to me here at Vice, just sent me this video that his cousin’s girlfriend filmed. Once I’d watched it to the end (and you HAVE to watch it to the end) I thought, “Shit, Belfast really is fucked again,” then he told me it was filmed in Victoria Park in Hackney on Saturday. Weird, huh? All those people at that German Festival this weekend might have been crushed. But clearly Vicky Park’s High Voltage was pretty intense as well, so I blame the Swedish metal kids.

JAMIE LEE CURTIS TAETE INTERVIEWS JAIMIE WARREN

Here are two of our favorite photographers from the The Photo Issue 2010 interviewing one another. Jamie Lee Curtis Taete is from the UK and Jaimie Warren from the US, but they get through this whole interview without bitching about Lockerbie or the oil spill. Instead they talk about Rosanne Barr, who is of considerably less cultural significance in England than she is in America. PS: That’s JW up there, and that is JLCT after the leap.

WEEKEND WATCHIN’ - NASH EDGERTON

Nash Edgerton is an Australian filmmaker and stuntman. As might be expected from a stuntman turned director, watching Nash's early films is sort of like shotgunning a can of testosterone--lots of shootouts, people running away from stuff, fast cars, etc. MORE.

POP VOX - WHAT'S UP WITH BLACK HAIR?

My friend Desiree from Cameroon doesn’t straighten her hair like the majority of Paris’s black girls do. She says this is on account of her being an "all out there nigga," but that doesn’t stop the other black girls from making disparaging comments about her afro. MORE. | Comments (27)

CORPORATE DICK

Duncan Mee does not conform to the private eye stereotype: the windows in his office are neither tinted nor blindsed, he doesn’t smoke 50 cigarettes a day, and, today at least, there are no femme fatales hanging around. He does, however, spend a lot of time raiding people’s trash, using cool gadgets, and avoiding being murdered by global mafias. MORE. | Comments (2)

GET THE HELL OUT (OF) THERE

Anders Petersen, who took the snowman picture in our Still Lifes Issue, has been taking heartbreaking, stunning black and white photos for the past 40 years. Back when he was a wee Swedish teenager, he left his quiet country home for Hamburg’s sketchy red light district and shot Café Lehmitz, one of the most enduring photo stories any Swedish photographer has ever made.
