Every once in a while in this great city of New York, you happen upon a moment that stops the streets from buzzing and your square peg suddenly finds its square hole of the universe. I first came across Twin Ghost Dog Howl waiting for the subway late one night. They recently sent me their new unreleased project.

The newest giclee print from Rebel Unlit, Inquiry into Jellyfish, is an adventure in mixed media. We love the subtleties of this piece, which could be missed at first glance: the transparencies, the color distress, the foreground texture. We’re also a pretty big fan of that jellyfish. Inspired by Haruki Murakami’s The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, this limited-edition piece is printed on cotton matt archival 310gsm paper and is available now in the Lost At E Minor online store.

Clothing brand Qhuit (a pun on the French words for ’shitfaced’) was born from a collaboration between two party animals: Rhum-G and Mook. With ‘booze forever’ as a baseline, they create streetwear basics based around close relationships with the new school French hip hop scene. Heck, they even recorded an acclaimed album called Gran Bang. This month, they release a collaboration with hip hop MC, Joey Starr, for a mini-collection that revisit some of their classics ideas.

Using only industrial materials, such as a spool of wires and pair of wire cutting pliers, Chris Mason creates sculptures of little people climbing and descending on walls. He explains that the action of climbing provides an opportunity to look at a figure suspended in space, to be able to see from angles less seen in most traditional sculptures. Read more

Triggerfinger is a fiery three piece from Antwerp consisting of real characters: guitarist and singer Ruben Block, drummer Mario Goossens, and bassist Paul Van Bruystegem. I particularly like this magnificent, minimalist live cover of I Follow Rivers by Lykke Li, using only guitars, a knife and some cups.

These Italian twill silk scarves are part of a limited-edition run by London based visual artist Misha Milovanovich. Misha cites travel, 60s prints, Allen Ginsberg’s poetry, Pop Art, Jazz music and New York as her inspiration, and claims to ‘spin, rhyme, mix and scratch her colours and patterns like a Voodoo Hip Hop artist on substances known to alter cognition and perception’. Accompanying artist babble aside, the scarfs are pretty great. Read more

We love the voyeuristic thrill of these photos by Gentle Giant that ran on the Retronaut website and reveal a vibrant, thriving, bustling New York in 1971 that looks vaguely similar to the New York that I experienced between 2006 and 2011. Minus the beehive hairdoes, flares, and the big red phone booths, of course. Read more

On March 15, Austria’s Felix Baumgartner jumped out of a space capsule from an altitude of approximately 71,580 feet as the Red Bull Stratos project moved forward into the manned flight stage in New Mexico. The 42 year-old rode the space capsule attached to a giant helium balloon above the so-called Armstrong Line. The goal of the Red Bull Stratos project is to see Baumgartner attempt a record-breaking freefall from 120,000 feet this summer, where he’ll potentially become the first man to go supersonic without the support of a vehicle.

Quiksilver, the surfing apparel company, has just released what is being considered the world’s first eco-friendly watch. Made of sustainable ebony wood and running on automatic movement instead of batteries, this limited-edition watch is green down to the shipping of the raw materials.

The Ray has a five-year warranty, meaning that it has a longer life than normal watches.
