We’ve just kicked off a big subscription drive for Lost At E Minor whereby — over the next two weeks — we’ll be giving away prizes to random new subscribers as well as a big goodie pack to the person that encourages the most new subscribers [using the Refer A Friend function on the e-newsletter] to sign up to the weekly email. So this is how it will work: every day for the next two weeks there will be a spot prize given to a randomly selected new subscriber to the e-newsletter. At the end of the two week period, we will also determine who has referred the most people onto the newsletter and they will be sent a pack including a guy’s [Zanerobe] and girl’s [Religion] t-shirt; the new Black Keys album; a beautiful Pani dress [pictured above right]— guys, you’ll definitely be in the good books with the other half if you win this; girls, you will love this dress. Pani is one of the hottest Australian labels around right now; along with a few other treats and goodies. Other prizes that will be up for grabs include a pair of Tsubi jeans and t-shirt [pictured above left]; some Religion t-shirts; a Lade t-shirt; and some more Pani dresses. New subscribers — anyone who signs up over the next two weeks — who want to enter this giveaway should leave a comment under any posting on the website, then check back in under this giveaway posting at 1pm Sydney time each day [that's 9pm New York time; 6pm LA time; 2am London time — yawn! — and so on] to see if you’re a winner that day. You can leave as many comments as you like and enter every day over that two week period. The final prize pack announcement will be made under this posting on November 28th at 1pm Sydney time. Good luck! And thanks for supporting Lost At E Minor.

Thank you thank you thank you to eminor. Without you, my desk would be a cultural wasteland, and I would be tempted to dress in black all day every day.
Ok, so maybe not black…that’s a little extreme. Possible gray though…or if you’d like me to be a tad more drastic – beige. Heavy sigh.
My point? Love the newsletter, and the mere mention of a printed version twisted my knickers (in the nicest possible way). Love you long time. Please, please, please keep up the tidy work.

The song Blasphemous Rumours by Depeche Mode is just about the most dark, beautiful thing I’ve ever heard. There’s something very compelling about it all: it’s gloomy and depressing during the verses, but then this sexy, almost hypnotically melodic chorus bursts in out of nowhere. The song came out in 1984 and is reputedly based on a true story, with singer Dave Gahan concluding at the end of it all: ‘I don’t want to start any blasphemous rumours but I think that God’s got a sick sense of humour, and when I die, I expect to find Him laughing’. Brilliant.
We’ve been featuring some interesting guest contributors on Lost At E Minor over the past six months. Included among them are Angus Andrews, from The Liars, Ben Lee (who wrote about his festish for vintage Rolexes, amongst other things), Brendan Canning from Broken Social Scene, designer Deanne Cheuk, artist Sam Weber, singer-songwriter Laura Veirs (who brought Juana Molina to our attention), and Tegan from Tegan and Sara.
The Suit Up exhibition comprises a number of artworks from various Australian street, comic, and illustration artists, each of whom has applied their unique style to that ubiquitous — yet, rarely tapped — canvas, the playing card. The designs have been produced as giclee prints, signed and numbered by the artists, and are limited to 10 prints of each design. Real-size decks of cards have also been produced for sale. The Suit Up crew is a close-knit group of predominantly Melbourne-based artists who are passionate about Australia’s ‘low-brow’ art scene, which is more collaborative and less ego-driven than much of the the high-brow art world. The exhibition runs between February 13 and 25.

The mining and refining that provides the world with precious metals is also extremely damaging to the environment – each ounce of gold mined generates 30 tons of waste, much of which is toxic. Philadelphia-based Rust Belt make unique, finely crafted earrings, necklaces, and bracelets entirely from re-purposed and recycled materials. The processes they use to make their pieces are also environmentally sound, and they are shipped in beautiful, re-purposed glass bottles.
