Crimea X’s Secret Playlist

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 am OBSESSED with Third Drawer Down. I always buy their beautiful designs as gifts for friends, but have yet to keep one for myself.

Ren said | 22 November, 2008

Absolutely adorable and so utilitarian! Not just as a tea towel, but as art to hang over the handle of my oven or to be a wall calendar.

Laura Kazmier said | 22 November, 2008

wouldn’t mind a towel that tells me the day of the week, while a nude woman picnics. tea happens to be my forte as well.

Zoe said | 22 November, 2008

because the girl on the towel has taken her top off to protest that it’s my pots she wants to dry!

rizzo said | 23 November, 2008

my kitchen NEEDS this! Texta Queen is the BESTEST and tea towels are this seasons must have household item!

Paula said | 23 November, 2008

Well if I can’t be a texta nude myself, I might as well just do the dishes!

jeanette rico said | 23 November, 2008

I would rather it be hung up on my marvelous wall than have it be used for my total ass drying.

Too sexxxy for my ass.. trust me ;]

Katie said | 24 November, 2008

It’s quite likely that I will never use this tea towel to do the dishes, but instead will hang it off the oven door to create the illusion that I dry my dishes by hand….

miza said | 25 November, 2008

Love it, it’s so cute! Please let me win!!! Please Please Please!!!!

Maile Lani said | 27 November, 2008

i am the most forgetful person in the entire universe. it’s especially bad when i forget my laundry in the basement of our queens apartment. now, i’ve forgotten supper nice clothes, high thread count sheets and everything in between, so when i kept forgetting my entire collection of k-mart holiday tea towels i never thought it would be a big deal. so, a week or so later i journeyed down to the basement to fetch them and much to my dismay they were all gone. i called the super, left notes in the elevator, but nothing. i have never lost one sock, a tshirt, a pillowcase, and to be completely honest i’ve found my forgotten laundry FOLDED before, yet someone has the audacity to steal stained and bleach spotted tea towels? the world is a very strange place…

yasmin said | 27 November, 2008

i must have one of these tea towels because i heart texta queen. and because maybe, just maybe if i had a tea towel this beautiful my boyfriend would spare it from the ‘use to wipe the cast iron fry pan that has left permanent greasy stains on every other tea towel we own’ treatment. and, we’re getting married in january, and this fetching tea towel with a calendar of the year of our wedding on it would make a lovely wedding gift from lost at e minor to a faithful subscriber… x

Dale Hutton said | 28 November, 2008

Knowing the date is important I need it…plus its probably made out of the neck fur of a yak…always a bonus.

Jocelyn said | 28 November, 2008

Nude lady getting up to shenanigans on a tea towel? cool.
She also dries my pots and pans while in the nude. unusually…unsettling.
pond reeds in my pot after the big dry up? not spectacular, but i’ll settle for that

Mixolidia said | 2 December, 2008

I should win because it reminds me of Édouard Manet’s Luncheon on the Grass. Except here the nude stopped being an symbol in a chaotic scene and is just happy to have a little lunch and maybe share. And I would love it. I’d put it in a frame and hang it in my kitchen. Just like my grandma use to hang her calendar tea towels in a frame in her kitchen and then use old t-shirts to dry her dishes. Thanks.

ange said | 4 December, 2008

I must have this towel to look at in my kitchen every day. I spend a lot of time in my kitchen since becoming a stay at home mom. This towel reminds me so much of a more creative time in my 20’s. More importantly, her boobs bring back nostalgic days before I nursed 2 boys and mine went completely south of the border. I also lost all my brain cells in with my breast milk and this would help me remember things, since I practically can’t remember my name these days (life with 2 kiddos under 5). On too many levels, this towel bring me so much joy to look at. I can only imagine how awesome it would be to put it on my wall in my kitchen. Heck, I might even cover up the window with it instead. It would be a better view for sure.

If you ever happen to find yourself riding across the mid-west on horseback with an iPod jangling about in your holster, be sure to let Calexico soundtrack the experience. They’re cleverly fusing a range of genres, mixing some good old country with US indie, a bit of jazz and even, in 2003’s Feast of Wire, some smatterings of electronica. Lead singer Joey Burns gives a healthy amount of cowboy twang and the soaring orchestral background and sweet country guitar licks add a real atmosphere to the music.

Listen to the Calexico song, Convict Pool.
