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.

Crimea X is the coming together of two offbeat, disparate characters, DJ Rocca (Ajello, Super Sonic Lovers, Maffia Sound System) and Jukka Reverberi from 90s Italian glam cult rockers, Giardini di Mirò, who have often have been compared with the sound of Mogwai, Arab Strap, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. We asked them about their favourite music and they started with The Smiths song, Ask [listen below] ‘I saw them playing live on Italian TV. It was during the 80s when I was extremely young, and I’ve never stopped listening to this song’. Read the rest of Crimea X’s Secret Playlist.
I love the curated selection of abandoned swimming pool photos on Feature Shoot today, featuring work by Carlo Van de Roer and Albert Jodar, amongst others.

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.

HAVE YOUR SAY
I’ve loved and admired the work of Canadian Illustrator Isabelle Arsenault as far back as I can remember. I have such a soft spot for her charmingly old fashioned French aesthetic. Read more
Having lived in New York for over two years now, transplanted from the sunny beachside landscape of Sydney, Australia, I appreciate the gritty realism, yet positiveness and vibrancy in the photographic series on Manhattan locals by British writer and photographer, Ian Woolverton. In addition to his talents with the lense, Woolverton also has two humanitarian awards: one for the Australian Red Cross Service Medal for his achievements in the Bali bomb response and the other, Australian Government’s Humanitarian Overseas Service Medal, for covering the tsunami in Aceh.

Australian-born creative, Marc Newson, is considered to be one of the most influential designers of the past few decades. Having originally studied jewellery and sculpture at Sydney College of the Arts, ‘he started experimenting with furniture design as a student and, after graduating in 1984, was awarded a grant from the Australian Crafts Council, and staged an exhibition — featuring the Lockheed Lounge — at the Roslyn Oxley Gallery in Sydney’.

The work of French Illustrator Chamo is every bit as fun as her name seems to imply. Employing a bright, candy colored, retro feel, Chamo’s illustrations come off feeling like the ultimate feel good joyride.
Why is it that perusing the creative projects at ReadyMade always makes you wish you had more time? Read more
Oh, ok, so now I’ve seen it all. Or perhaps, in this case, I’m not seeing enough. Japanese game shows are so much fun. Seriously.
With Lungfish guitarist Asa Osborne’s latest project, Zomes, he continues to explore loops and cycles with endlessly repeating musical phrases, this time played on circuit-bent keyboards. The resulting tracks sound at times like medieval court music at others like the soundtrack to a Hal Hartley movie.

Forget battery powered vehicles. Cars made from ice are the future of transportation: no pollution, no honking horns, no painful rap music blasting out of souped up stereos. And if they melt, they melt. You just swim the rest of the way down the slipstream.
Yum, yum, cupcakes are fun. These creations are so clever, so arty, so damn bizarre that it would almost be a shame to eat them. Almost! Read more
Charlie Immer’s pastel-pallete sometimes obfuscates the gory violence in his surreal images. At other times, it heightens the gut-wrenching and visceral effect of his work. Read more
Italian-born, New York City-based photographer Paolo Ventura creates fairy-tale like pictures out of amazingly constructed, miniature dioramas that almost trick the eye into thinking he’s a tilt-shift photographer. Read more
1970s and 80s Soviet Union buildings
Cambodian born photographer Frederic Chaubin is the editor of French magazine Citizen K. His photo series on bizarre buildings built in the former Soviet Union during the 1970s and 80s is absolutely fascinating. Read more
