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.

Is it green? Is it funny? Is it Halloween? Or is it just a bad luck? I actually think they are super smart and stylish, and would not mind getting one of these beautiful couches next time I move to a new apartment. They are made of recycled (but unused) coffins, after all. Fantastic. Read more

Ok, so I’m a big fan of any show that features sparkles, feathers and nipple tassels. Which explains why I’m so excited about the London Burlesque Festival. Come April, the city will be taken over by scantily clad women, vaudeville acts, dimly lit evening burlesque performances, and more outright wackiness than you can poke an ostrich-feather tickler at. If you’ve never been to a burlesque show before, and are a sucker for a suspender belt flicking or two, get ready for some heavy handed glamour and an experience you’ll never forget. And if you, like me, love an excuse to dress up in full costume and then take it off again to crowds of appreciative fans – raid the London vintage stores now for a costume and apply through the website to put yourself on stage. Applications close 31st December. [photo by Lisa Kereszi]
Micah P. Hinson is like every rustic, broken down, and pieced back together country great that’s ever been. Only hipper and slightly less sombre. This track, Diggin’ A Grave, is a button-up hoe down with a classic pop chorus and a jangly banjo accompaniment. Yup, some folk have all the fun.

Scanners’ new single Salvation
I love this track by London based rock group, Scanners, which is off their latest album, Submarine. Having toured with acts such as The Horrors, The Wedding Present, The Charlatans, Electric Six, and Juliette & The Licks, Scanners could well blow up in 2010. Figuratively speaking, not literally. No, that wouldn’t be fun.

Good thing Kris Kuksi channelled the trauma of growing up with an alcoholic stepfather, his disdain for ‘the typical American life and pop culture’, and his fascination with the macabre into obsessive, baroque assemblages, paintings, and drawings. Read more
