VBS.TV Celebrates Mexico All Month Long
VBS.TV has turned its sights towards Mexico in a month long programming tribute, accompany the Mexican language version of Vice:
Having spread our seed across the whole of the English Commonwealth and the continent of Europe (the good parts at least), this month Vice and VBS turn our sites southward for the launch of Vice Mexico. This is just the first baby-step in our planned conquest of Latin America in its entirety, but it is still a doozy of a start.
For the next four weeks, all the programming on VBS is if not Made In Mexico, at least Made By Mexicans. Or in some cases With Mexicans. There will be new Mexican episodes of Practice Space with the likes of Los Dynamite, Maria Daniela, Silverio, Jessy Bulbo, and Hong Kong Blood Opera; fresh editions of Art Talk! with Miguel Calderon, Yoshua Okon, and other luminaries of Mexico City’s incredible punk-art scene; and features on our favorite facets of Mexico’s insane-ass culture like the murder-tabloid industry (la Nota Roja) and their retirement home for aging sex workers (yes, they really have one of those).
And as a final treat in the pinata, we followed Richard Kern down to the capital for a special Mexico City installment of Shot By Kern. Be on the lookout for that, and be sure to check out the inaugural Mexican Issue of the magazine over on Viceland.com.
Most of the series seems to focus on the mex/us border towns and Mexico City, no rural coast stuff going on, I guess it doesn’t mesh with Vice’s urban hipster aesthetic. But lots of good content, so go check it out.
Ed do you ever listen to the Nortec Collective? They are one of my favorites.
