Sorry wasn't meant to be an apology for it (it's gross) just pointing out that issue isn't really with the menu (which is surely high end but probably not remarkably so) but with whatever insanely price-y wines/champagnes were picked out.

Mr. Morton said he owes his journalistic chops to his years tending that jar; a recent story had him hanging out in the kitchen of a crack-cooking trap musician in Atlanta.

My favorite part of articles like that is waiting to find out where the money came from for the loft/condo/treehouse. Retroactively disappointed in Errol Morris for bringing that into the world.

I was reading a piece on vice just yesterday about the pseudo-scientific practice of voluntary trepanation. maybe this is a new direction for them.

"In iridology, the stomach area is represented just outside the pupil. If people have real digestive problems, that can make this area appear more a bit more brown."
can't argue with that

Joey from Downtown Boys calls out Vice in a Vice subsidiary:
VICE itself is a great example of how punk can be co-opted by neoliberal forces. VICE began as part of a welfare program by the Canadian government, but then it got bought out, started publishing lots of gross stuff, and last year destroyed some of the most important DIY venues in the Northeast in order to build their corporate offices in Brooklyn. Among those we lost was Death By Audio, which was a very important place in giving Downtown Boys our start. Punk, then, like anything else, can be made to mean so many different things. If it’s an individualistic lifestyle brand, or a way to repackage traditional power relations, then it means nothing. We want it be mean an effort to build community in order to achieve personal and collective liberation, and build connections with other communities to further spread that message. But we can call that so many things. I personally have no particular attachment to the word “punk.”

Oh, I definitely remember their early-oughts issues being rife with "ironic" racism/transphobia/homophobia/misogyny; I'm just curious whether that was their tack from their beginnings as a Montreal community zine. (I mean, Gavin McInnes was there from the beginning, so I kind of can't expect too much of their early years.)Xp

I know people are tired of VICE, but "Nirvanna The Band The Show" is an excellent mockumentary/sitcom. By that I mean the main actors try to set up a gig at the Rivioli and in the process devise all manners of publicity stunts that involve real citizens/non-actors. It hits a groove by its third episode, but it's a rare Canadian sitcom that is this truly funny or inventive. With 3 seasons planned, I imagine it will gain traction eventually.
