WE HAVE AN AMAZING NEW ISSUE AND IT IS OUT NOW
In case your Chinese calendar is out of date (or you’re just not very cultured), 2012 is the Chinese Year of the Dragon. That’s why our first issue of 2012 is called The Children of the Dragon issue. It is out now and available from all the lovely places that carry the mag, so go and get it while there’s life in your legs, air in your lungs and we have stock to be replenished. Too busy to pick one up during common trading hours? Work 9 to 5, have too much on, or are “professionally unemployed” and thus rarely see daylight? Try heading down to one of our launch parties for a copy.

Director Spike Jonze cuts VICE founder Shane Smith’s hair and discusses the making of Where the Wild Things Are.
Now, we all know lots of stuff about that dreamboat Stephen Malkmus. We get it. He’s a lyrical genius, a hugely underrated guitar player, and he’s real cute. We also know enough, for now, about Spiral Stairs, Malkmus’s partner in Pavement leadership. He too can shred far above the usual indie-rock mope, he has a clean-cut, educated-frat-boy sort of appeal, and we won’t be surprised when he launches a sweet solo career at some point. It’s bound to happen.
But what about those other guys? The guys who stand to the sides of the stage during Pavement shows? The unsung, secret-weapon, meat-and-potatoes Pavement soldiers!
