Creature Feature



Frequent So Fresh subject, Ian Svenonius, hosts a show worth mentioning called Soft Focus on ViceTV. Essentially, Svenonius chats with guests at the Guggenheim Museum in NYC. Soft Focus is clever, well researched, and most of all, comical, as a calm, engaging Svenonius discusses the abyss that is creativity with guests like Andrew WK, Henry Rollins, and Chan Marshall.

And it don't stop at Soft Focus. ViceTV, in it's short existence, has already proven it's worth, documenting social and political phenomena worldwide and streaming it online for your pleasure. Get into the Black Lips performing to a overwhelmingly drunk crowd in Tijuana, Mexico or a brutally honest report on rap music in Houston, Texas (the investigative reporter goes so far as to sip on lean and smoke blunts with his rap interviewees) - you won't be disappointed.
