Innovating ‘a new way to look at time’, Matthew Waldman founded Nooka watches after a long fascination with how few options there were for time display. Contrary to more traditional displays, ‘the visual mass increases as time passes, giving weight to an ephemeral and abstract concept’. Nooka timepieces are available with leather and metal mesh bands and the inspiring displays are housed in stainless steel casings. [see also Bleu Limited]

Nixon Ltd Collection - lostateminor.com said | 16 February, 2007
[...] Established to ‘create a pool of resources to specifically address addiction and recovery needs within the music community’, the Musicares MAP Fund has been supported with proceeds from Nixon’s recent fourth installment of the Nixon Ltd Collection. Featuring leather donated by musicians including Slash, Ben Harper and Alice Cooper, each timepiece has the contributing artist’s name hand-etched on the back of the band and is individually numbered. There’s something very enchanting about wearing a piece of leather from the a jacket, guitar strap or pants formerly worn by an artist like Slash. Which artist’s leather would you like to wear?

We got the inside word from Josh Diamond of New York experimental group, Gang Gang Dance, on the music that is moving him right now and he started off by propping the beautiful Ryuichi Sakamoto track, Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence: ‘It’s just an amazing piece of music — serene, austere (in a heavy, beautiful way), emotional, a great mix of electronic sounds, patient, and a wonderful melody, with a quality of yearning for a better place. Every time I listen to this song, it puts me in a trance’. Read the rest of Gang Gang Dance’s Secret Playlist.
Australian group Pivot have recently signed with the mighty Warp label and — even better (well, for us anyway) — have written a fun Secret Playlist for us. You can see where the many disparate influences have seeped into their latest recording, the beautiful and colourful, O Soundtrack My Heart.
Though most people in the West think of mahjong as a mysterious game old Chinese people play, it’s actually gets quite rowdy when people get together to play it. Rowdy is certainly a good adjective for Mahjongg, the exquisitely danceable electro-whatever outfit from Chicago who draw as much from Afrobeat as they do vocoder-laden sleaze rock from the 70s.
