It was 20 years ago yesterday that Metallica bass guitarist Cliff Burton tragically died in a road accident in Sweden. His death was a huge loss and no other metal bassist before or since compares in terms of his charisma, musicianship and great clothes. Do you think anybody would still be into Misfits if it wasn’t for Cliff wearing their shirts at every given opportunity? Yes that’s right hipsters. The reason you are wearing a Misfits shirt is because of this guy. Ever heard of him? R.I.P Cliff.

Everybody in Germany is yelling “wimps!” at Berlin’s Deutsche Oper opera house after they cancelled a production of a Mozart opera called Idomeneo which features starring roles from the severed heads of the Prophet Muhammad, Jesus and Buddha…

It’s been a while since we visited our little friend. In fact, we’ve left him up there on the roof of the Old Blue Last (now fully re-opened) all summer.
We were a little reticent about visiting him after so long and quite scared at the sight / smells that would greet us when we got to him.

Wednesday September 27th is Scary Perry day. Windy City Heat the DVD has just been released and a million things are going on to celebrate it. They are: ONE- the Perry Project’s website is going live which includes one of the stupidest blogs ever written. TWO- we’re putting a teaser of an hour long prank call where they convince Perry to tell a prominent producer that he missed the audition because he was raped. (Perry even goes on to claim he “squoze” too tight and the bottle he was sodomized with broke in his ass.) THREE- The Big Three (Don, Mole, and Perry) are going to be on Adam Corolla’s radio show but get this- Johnny Knoxville is going to appear on the show as the new Scary Perry. Perry’s going to shit himself. This goes live at exactly 11:25 AM New York Time but we’re pretty sure they’ll be replaying it all day. FOUR- the guy at TV Carnage did a Perry thing (that we’ll post later) where he substitutes Perry’s voice with The Thing from Fantastic Four because both Perry and The Thing think fedoras make you cool. FIVE- The big three is going to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live Wednesday night! It’s going to be a very Perry day!

Dear VICE,
Will this madness never end? This is an actual beverage that I found
in the store today. You can get it in regular or light and you can
buy it in any good Finnish supermarket. It tastes ok. A bit like Pepsi.
And if you collect all the different labels, there are six (one for
each band member and one of the whole band), and you send them off
you’ll get a CD single that is not available anywhere else! Cool,
huh? Now they’ve got me hoping for some Sunno))) chocolate to go with
it!!!

The refurbishments to the OBL are complete and we’re open on both floors again.
Tonight we’ve got Southend art punks These New Puritans playing at the Toy Pirate night. Expect their friends The Horrors to be in the crowd. We’re also going to be filming for our Live From The Old Blue Last TV show as the weeks go on, so you never know who’s going to be there or what’s going to happen.
Click below for what’s coming up in the next few weeks.

Dear VICE,
I was holidaying in Panama when I discovered a shop where they sold voodoo stuff. This place, located in the old quarter of the city, was the real deal. I walked in to see a woman blowing cigar smoke on a blood-splattered shrine and mumbling mumbo-jumbo. In the corner of the room there were machetes covered in rooster blood…

This discussion about girls who are so skinny that they should actually get some forcible tube feeding by their medical examiner, already turned pretty stale, I have to admit. But last week it reached a new climax, when the organizers of the Fashion Week in Madrid threw almost one third of their booked models off the list, because their Body Mass Index was at 14 and therefore they were too thin…
