I love your site, it is regular bliss, constantly changing and always interesting. I’ve played piano since I was 8 years old, and have a weird brain for nifty word constructions…. Everything you share is exactly what I enjoy. Thank you for keeping a true pulse on what is happening in our culture. You all rock at E Minor.

What a beautiful story, strange too cause when I was trying to find a blog name I pressed some random keys on my piano to find a chord I liked and then rearranged the note letters to form a name.

I came up with eggface, but I think yours is far more poetic. Great minds eh? :}

Oooo… That’s how the name was derived. Been wondering about it myself really. Interesting, never thought of that. Thanks.

It’s funny you say that.

I actually thought that the name “Lost at E Minor” was selected for an entirely different reason. The E minor chord is probably the most basic of any chord played on a standard guitar, and thus the first chord which most beginners will learn.

I had assumed that Lost at E Minor was a tongue-in-cheek mention of this basic chord, and a reflection of our ever shortening attention spans as consumers in the digital age.

Maybe I should stop thinking about this sorta stuff so much….
