NEW YORK - SKINTERNETSITEMA
ALABAMA - DAYUM!!!
Peer Pressure are four horny guys from Alabama who get freaky with furniture. Videos of their sexy dance routines are spreading across the internet like a particularly contagious thing that spreads very, very quickly– especially the clip where they virtually gang-rape a foot rest. We caught up with Peer Pressure to see how they were dealing with the haters…
JAMAICA - VICE KILLS
Today in VICE Kills Jamaica, our lilywhite correspondent Jaimie
tries to fit in with the local scenesters at a shoot for Assassin’s new
music video, then sits down for a chat with dancehall smoovie Sizzla at
his riverside rasta estate. And on the other side of the gulf, Epicly
Later’d finally manages a little downtime with Jerry Hsu. There are also two new DOs & DON’Ts & Friends as always, one
featuring Skinema columnist and now paperback writer Chris Nieratko,
and a fresh round of dancehall videos in the music channel.
NEW YORK - TOTALLY 90S
NEW YORK - DEAR DIARADIOARY
If you are reading this right now, which is impossible since I haven’t posted it yet, then you have approximately 50 minutes to get yourself to a computer with speakers and a decent connection, maybe grab a snack or a coke or something, get yourself good and situated, and finally listen to Dear Diary authorina Lesley Arfin get interviewed on "Viva radio"…
LOS ANGELES - 200 TROUBLED TEENAGERS
Our straight photo editor Patrick O’Dell and photographess Angela Boatwright have put together a little show that opens at the Standard Hotel in downtown LA tomorrow night. The official name is “200 Troubled Teenagers,” but a slightly more accurate title would be “200 Boners for Gay Guys and Most Girls.” Stop by if you’re around. It’ll probably be going on all month or something (you know how these art things work). RSVP info below.
TOKYO - JAIMIE WARREN PHOTO BLOG PART 2
Our pal Jaimie Warren just sent us another round of photos of food, weird people, that friend of hers and herself from Japan. You can check them out on our photo blog, and if you missed the first round, maybe you’d like to click here?
DEAR VICE - HIRE COMRADE SNARKY
We got a YouTube job application from a certain Garrett Faber AKA Comrade Snarky. In this rough guide to himself, Snarky talks about his love of photography, dancing, sex, sushi, Chuck Palahniuk and Lindsay Lohan. Would you hire this guy?
JAMAICA - VICE KILLS
Today in Vice Kills Jamaica, we dive into the Jamaican nightlife and
visit a couple of the island’s massive "street clubs"–as in the club
is in the middle of the streets that run through Kingston’s ghettos. And on the other side of the Mason-Dixon, we visit New York’s Jamaica
for the ladies world championship of dancehall dancing, aka dry
humping. We’ve also got two new DOs & DON’Ts & Friends to start you off
(one with the renowned author of Vice’s monthly Skinema column, Chris
Nieratko) and a pair of new music videos (one with the words "Ching
Chong" in its title). So dig on in and enjoy yourselves.
LONDON - COMPUTER ART FUN
We may not know much about computer art at Vice but we know what we like, and right now we really like the computer art of computer artist Paul B. Davis. The good news for people like us is that Paul’s first solo show, Intentional Computing opens tomorrow and features the kind of work that makes you think, "I wish I’d done that." Stuff like hacking into Nintendo games and messing around with the chips so that instead of running around all the time, Super Mario gets stoned and lonely and ponders the existential nature of being. Clever stuff in the shape of fun.
NOTTINGHAM - GRUNK
Hi kids, here is a brand new scene that no one will give a shit about next week. Grindie never really took off - maybe because the music sounded terrible, maybe because the kids weren’t ready for such a futuristic amalgam of genres. Who can tell? Luckily there’s a new interracial musical collab to cling on to. It’s called grunk and sees the fusion of grime and punk. To kickstart this musical revolution, Gallows and Lethal Bizzle have teamed up to do a cover of "Staring at the Rude Boys" by The Ruts. We witnessed the live debut at this weekend’s Dot To Dot Festival in Nottingham. The video quality is pretty shit, but let’s face it, so is the song.
JAMAICA - VICE KILLS
In case you were too busy taking it easy yesterday to check in, this week is Vice Kills Jamaica week on VBS. Right before we launched the station back in winter, we invaded the Caribbean for a couple weeks to cover the shit out of the Jamaican dancehall scene. While we failed in this respect, we did manage to shoot some cool shit, which we are bringing you now for your entertainment. Today we’ve got a special two-parter of VBS Meets… with Sean Paul, second to only that fuckface Shaggy in sale of dancehall records. In part one we principally talk about the covert racial politics at play in the music and marketing industries, while the focus of part two is mostly fucking. You can start with whichever one you feel.
