This is the reason the now official Led Zeppelin reunion is a very bad idea. This performance was left off the official Live Aid DVD set for a reason. And this was 22 years ago. How bad are things going to be now?

Spike Jonze interviews M.I.A.
August 21st, 2007
Spike Jonze interviews M.I.A. for Vice TV in the first bit of a 6-part series. It’s a very laid-back piece in which they ride around in a car, discussing trivialities like how M.I.A.’s hairdresser, Shemkee, cut her hair while on Ketamine. Jonze and M.I.A. are obviously friends and comfortable around each other, and, despite Jonze’s […]
David Yow is awesome at interviews
August 15th, 2007
Vice just had the pleasure of interviewing David Yow, the Jesus Lizard legend. His most recent/awkward on-stage antic occurred when he showed up late and drunk (obviously) to this year’s SXSW with his new band Qui and looking out into a sea of white faces shouted, “Where are the niggers at?”, which, uhh, didn’t go […]

M.I.A. kind of loses it in an interview with Pitchfork. Immediately after exchanging pleasantries and ordering pancakes she gets pretty confrontational with the interviewer, who is obviously caught off guard.

Karen O does the obligatory chat with the Associated […]

May 21st, 2007
With a new, all-instrumental album, The Mix-Up, due out June 26, the Beastie Boys are returning a little more low-key than usual. King Adrock has an amusing back and forth with The Stranger’s Jonathan Zwickel. Adrock on selling out: “I don’t think that people buying records or whatever really give a shit if you make […]

Vice TV interviews Malcolm McLaren
May 21st, 2007
The folks behind the label that Bloc Party frontman, Kele Okereke, called a “nasty vortex” speaks with the puppet master of the Sex Pistols, Malcolm McLaren. When asked what he’s listening to these days he mutters something about how it’s all good and it’s all bad and then inexplicably compares pop culture to an old […]
