Last night the Beastie Boys premiered their concert film "Awesome I Fuckin’ Shot That" in New York. The concept was kind of novel, and given that these guys used to be great (all the way until to ‘94), we went to check it out. BIG Mistake.
What the fuck went wrong with these dudes? For 12 years it’s the same deal: they have a great idea (give 60 fans video cameras at their Madison Square Garden show and then make a movie out of the footage), and then butcher the fuck out of it, because Yauch or whomever can’t get over his giant ego and the idea that anything they’ve done since the "Sabotage" video has mattered. Aren’t you a buddhist or something, there, Cochese?

What are they thinking? Which focus group came up with this one?
One theory is that they’re trying to make the police more cuddly after they shot the totally innocent Brazilian eight times in the face on the tube in Stockwell last year. Others say it makes it easier to catch criminals this way because they can’t run so fast when they’re pissing their pants in laughter.

This person (can’t tell if it’s a man or a woman) was driving down Kingsland Road in East London in a fucked up old truck with a lion’s head painted on the back in the Union Jack colours. They were driving at 15 mph in the wrong lane and looked so suspicious that I was considering calling the police. After I saw the burkah I honestly thought: "Here’s the next suicide bomber."

After smashing the Grindie party last week, MC Ears just couldn’t keep away from our pub, The Old Blue Last. He turned up again on the weekend for Prancehall’s set at the 7 Year Glitch night with some of his Scare Dem Crew for some communal shower action, showering the crowd with lyrics while his girlfriend sat outside in the car. We just can’t seem to keep these MCs away - there must be some kind of subliminal attraction. Or maybe it’s all the free beer we give them. Anyway, keep your eyes peeled for some more one-off grime shows.

I really felt like having an angry bloke SHOUT BULLSHIT AT ME the other night, so I went to see Henry Rollins - currently ranting across Europe with a show called "25 Years of Bullshit". He didn’t disappoint.
Not only is the show bullshit, but the name of the show is bullshit … It should be called: "20 Years of Bullshit and 5 years of being the twat who ruined Black Flag."
Saying that, this live footage is pretty damn good.

If you’re around Auckland, go see this tonight. And Bring your wallets so that you may decorate the walls of your otherwise scummy flat with some top notch art. Colin McCahon ain’t got shit on these boys. Not that you know who he is, or anything. Whatever, it’s free wine.

The Professor Green remix of the new single from The Streets is so good that they decided to make a special remix video to go with it. It’s properly funny and features a guest appearances from Miss Jodie Marsh.
Keep checking back to Viceland for regular updates from Mike as we get nearer to the April 10 UK release (April 25 in the US) of The Streets’ third album, ‘The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living’.

FINALLY it’s happening. Drug dealers are selling Adderall in Britain.
Previously only available by prescription for people with ADD or for Hollywood actors who party too much and need to be "on point" during 17-hour shoots on shitty movies for 6 months a year, British dealers are now doling it out for like £20 for 20. Which is a LOW fucking price.
For those of you who don’t know, Adderall gives a super pure, speedy, cocaine-y vibe but without the madness, confusion, irrational behaviour and lame third album (if you’re a musicican).

See the New York Times this Sunday? They got Michael Pollan to write about the pros and cons of hunting his first pig. Great article and everything but we published the same thing five weeks ago. Ha ha Gray Lady you old bag.

As Bruno said on the Ali G show, “What is Jonathan Anton?”
Well, the answer is: a self-obsessed “macho man” who carefully rotates talking about himself, playing with women’s hair and crying. The interview with Bruno went so great that Jonathan got his own show (Blow Out, Tuesdays at 9pm) and if you want to get alcohol poisoning have a sip of beer every time he says something stupid about himself. For example, in this clip he explains how his well-rested and quiet baby doesn’t take after him because “I’m up all night and wake up screaming.” Then he’s so chuffed with his quote he turns to an obedient employee and goes, “Did you hear that?” Bottoms up!

This is Lord Galen, he’s amazing. He was once an intersuburb model but now does heaps of other choice stuff that doesn’t require as much make up. Like his radio show. A really good excuse to drink.
You international types should go here and listen via the www to get a slice of kiwi life. It’s penisey.
