The ‘Fashion Faux Pas‘ collection from Brisbane-based Now You Own Us ‘is a collaboration of vibrant colours and impossible prints, bringing this collection into the ever so fashionable unfashionable’. Tailored boardies and satin edged cardigans demonstrate the increasingly chic direction of the label, yet it’s chic without being too smart – suited to any activity you might undertake during a long summer night.

This is one for the guys. One of our favourite men’s streetwear labels, Zanerobe, has just released its Fantasy League collection which is inspired by Australia’s fanatacism with sport. Well, it’s true! Designer Jonathan Yeo describes the range as ‘fun and funky’, and he’s on the ball when he say that. On the ball! Gettit. Shucks. We’ve got a little collection of eight Zanerobe goodies to give away to random Lost At E Minor subscribers who send any post on the Lost At E Minor site to one of their friends before August 25 2006 (Read more details and see the giveaway gear here). They include the Search & Rescue navy tee, the Track & Field blue hoodie and the Midtown v-neck white tee. Very cool indeed. [more about Zanerobe]

HAVE YOUR SAY
Adrian Tomine is one of the finest cartoonists and illustrators of this generation, alongside the iconic Chris Ware and Daniel Clowes. He began his career Xeroxing copies of his comics for distribution, and stubbornly chooses to work in a medium as deliberately obscure as independent comics. While he continues to develop his ongoing series Optic Nerve (currently entering its fifteenth year of publication), he’s also the illustrator of choice for the New Yorker.
Musicians in Jacksonville, Florida, often plop themselves amongst breakfasting families to nurse their hangovers at the Fox Restaurant. The food is a step above normal greasy spoon fare, but is just as cheap, with a full breakfast costing as little as three dollars. They even offer bananas as an alternative to grits or hash browns.
It’s a recession and I don’t need to buy any more handbags. But these? Umm, too awesome to pass. The ad photos are as fantastic as the products. My favorite is Pursuader. But don’t go to the airport with one! Read more
Silence. In this world of near constant noise and motion, it really has become a sadly neglected and undervalued commodity. Yet, as I sit, looking down on a bustling metropolis of speeding cars, people, and minds, I can’t help but wonder what impact this sensory overload will have on not just our generation, but on all those to follow.

Back in the day, New Zealand pop absurdists, Split Enz were the finest damn Australasian band around. This track, I Walk Away, off their final album — Spellbound — is their ultimate moment: a hefty dose of pure melodic majestry, wrapped around the aching lyrics and quirky arrangements of genius frontman, Neil Finn.
How can you not love a band called ¡Apeshit!? Their name says it all. I got to catch these guys tour at a warehouse in Bed-Stuy the other night as they were capping off their most recent tour, and even though there were only 20 or so people in the audience by the time they went on, their set was absolutely epic, culminating in frontman Pat Berran being hoisted up and subsequently dropped by the drunken, sweaty, and heavily tattooed crowd. If you love fast, spastic, intensely brutal punk, this band will make you crap your pants.

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.
