These days it seems Vice magazine is trying its hand at almost everything. Besides the iconic music magazine and record label they do some interesting web documentaries at VBS. Like every other news organization in the world they decided in the spirit of the Olympics to do a month of pieces on Beijing and China. Since their main focus is music they did a bunch of interesting little stories on bands like PK-14, Subs, Demerit, Mi San Dao and more. Check them out here. This morning we were having trouble loading vidoes on the VBS webpage, try youtube if you have the same problem.

yeah it kills me that vbs doesn't load up well here. I've heard Soft Focus is quite good.
I'm not sure wether or not it was because concern that Viacom's investment in Vice might to turn it into a bit of a petri dish for fresh Mtv content, but whatever his reasons, Gavin McGinnis,(sp?) has been doing this new site streetboners and tv carnage with the guy who did the TV cargane videos back around '03, anyone who use to like the do's and don'ts back in early days of Vice will enjoy the street boners,,,
In keeping with the all things China-Shanghaiist theme, here's a relevant link,
