Raving In The Black Sea

Words are not needed. Take it away VBS.TV!

Ok, well maybe a few words. This is pure hedonism. I think I will book my flight now!

Kazantip is a republic. A republic of rave! For a whole month you can become a ‘citizen’ of Kazantip on the Ukrainian coast of the Black Sea. I am speechless. Check it out. KLM will take you there!

I Heart VBS.TV

“Steal what you need to steal” – Terry Hall.

VBS.TV is the online video channel offshoot of Vice Magazine. It features a variety of programming which really appeals to my sensory apparatus! Artists and musicians interviews, social and cultural documentaries – they’re all here. The above video is part 2 of an interview with Terry Hall from the Soft Focus UK show. There’s not much else I can say about this channel apart from that it is brilliant. Tune in now!

But one recommended documentary you should watch for starters though is Columbian Devil’s Breath. It’s subject is the story of Scopolamine, possibly the most dangerous drug on the planet and defiantly not for recreational use. Scary stuff indeed.
