[kj] OT: Indie hipster mag Vice snarks on "old man" wearing Crass jacket, doesn't reealize it's actually a member of Crass

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Someone pointed to an interview Vice did with Penny Rimbaud, which ups 
the possibility they knew it was him.

Or the person who wrote the photo captions might have been an entirely 
different person than the interviewer of Penny, different "department" 
or what have you, and just filled the comment in and really didn't know 
who it was. Who knows?

MISHKA NYC fashion frim have designed a pricey t shirt ($31 USD) with a 
Minor Threat logo on it, in news more related to Microsoft's announced 
line of Joy Division mp3 players (!!!). I think people like to fuck with 
Ian MacKaye/Dischord now because they know, a la the Nike shoes 
incident, they can get press out of it.

The Microsoft Joy Division mp3 player and the altered Minor Threat 
fashion t-shirt are both here:

Not a bunch of young punks. Vice can get a little fucking annoying in their giving an instant 10 star album review to anything that comes out on Southern Lord and any dead rapper and whatnot. They're also pretty sharp and I've read more than a few fascinating articles. Plus, the Dos and Don'ts are great. What's more funny than making fun of people?
