Spoonbill
An electronic producer with a string of international sound installation accolades, Melbourne’s Spoonbill delivers his second album ‘Nestegg’ with a crispness and precision that plays across a broad audio spectrum. Blending both modern and antique sounds from live performances and electronic creations, Spoonbill delivers hard beats, sweeping musical landscapes and everything in between. It’s an incredibly unique sound, and is riddled with conversational sound bytes taken from numerous sources, blending a heavily accented narrative with the surreal, electronic wonderland Spoonbill has crafted. Incredible, and addictive. It’s an exploratory and rather ingenius release, and induces the craziest thoughts and visions as conversation dances across experimental tracks tempting our wildest imagination. Dream inducing, somewhat ground-breaking and undoubtedly chaotic.
Listen to ‘Low & Easy’ by Spoonbill.

We’re not shy about our love of all things 80s, and Goldfrapp’s Rocket clip has taken us right back to a cloudy pastel world of big hair, synth optimism and glittering disco. We might just stay here for a while. Who’s in?
We’ve noticed an overwhelming number of hipster kids being photographed in need of the bathroom. The usual traits are legs crossed, feet turned in, desperation in the eye and holding on tight. It looks like we’re not the only ones. Hipsters Have To Pee is a photo-blog documenting the hilarity. Read more
I hadn’t heard of Skelator until the name was excitedly murmured amongst metal-heads in Seattle a couple of weeks ago. I’m new in town, so was dutifully checking out the local metal scene, and the Galway Arms was rammed with leather and spikes. There was a decidedly medieval theme, and I spotted at least one real sword. Read more

Kim Cogan is a dude. See, in Asia, surnames come first. Kim was born in Korea. Therefore, Kim is his family name. Kim makes panoramic paintings of city skylines. We sure do love skylines. They remind us of the vast protective shell of civilization that surrounds us, sheltering us from dirty dirty nature. Read more

What better way to get around town than via the relative luxury of a stretch bicycle. And yes, we believe the designer Wouter Mijland is working on incorporating a spa.

As part of the Robin Hood Foundation, a charity organization whose mission it is to fight poverty in New York City, Lost At E Minor contributor and in-demand illustrator in her own right, Yuko Shimizu — in collaboration with designer Stefan Sagmeister — recently completed an eleven panel mural at PS96 in The Bronx.

Beijing-based band Hanggai write original songs in the traditional folk styles of their Mongolian ancestors — throat-singing, horsehair fiddles, lutes — spearheading an Asian version of the old-time revival. Though it’s only through the digital age that the rest of the world can access this beautiful music, it makes you want to slow down and reflect on what we’ve lost as a species. This stuff makes every flavor of the month indie band seem vapid and meaningless.

I live the upbeat, feel good tempo of the new single — A Hundred Hearts — from Philly group, The Swimmers. Off their latest album, People Are Soft, this song is a strangely fitting anthem for the blustery day outside.

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.
