[Me] & Goji: design your own cereal
Imagine designing your own artisanal, organic cereal online, and then have it arrive at your doorstep a few days later in a sustainable capsule. Sure beats raisin bran! And that’s the concept behind [Me] & Goji, an ambitious new start-up that allows users to customize their own cereal through their website. Choose from over forty organic, natural ingredients such as goji, the Tibetan superfruit after which the company is named, granola, barley flakes, and a whole variety of exotic fruits and nuts.
When happy with your morning concoction, slap on a name and wait for the capsule to arrive on your doorstep. The cylindrical design is a marriage of art and science: influenced by simple, modern-minimalist interior design, the capsule was created with the intent of being aesthetically appealing enough to sit on your countertop, yet functional and sustainable, too. Not only is it entirely recyclable, but users can also offset their carbon emissions for a dollar at checkout. So whether you’re an eco-advocate, health fanatic, or design enthusiast, [Me] & Goji is sure to whet your appetite.

Throw out that notion of kitschy maple syrup bottles shaped as log cabins. Canadians now have Drip: a fresh, simple design that was handled with purity and thought, reflecting the product within.

The bottles and its sweet contents are both worth heading north for, so bring on the pancakes.

I hope the NYTimes picks up this story – they would love showing off designer cereal and pointing out that it’s remarkable to attempt such a venture in this scary recession freak out. Yep, leave it to them to sensationalize cereal.

We got the inside word from Josh Diamond of New York experimental group, Gang Gang Dance, on the music that is moving him right now and he started off by propping the beautiful Ryuichi Sakamoto track, Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence: ‘It’s just an amazing piece of music — serene, austere (in a heavy, beautiful way), emotional, a great mix of electronic sounds, patient, and a wonderful melody, with a quality of yearning for a better place. Every time I listen to this song, it puts me in a trance’. Read the rest of Gang Gang Dance’s Secret Playlist.
I’m really excited about the Melbourne band Plug-in City. They remind me of Belle & Sebastian, The Kooks and Cut Copy all in one. What more can us New Yorkers ask for?
Lindstrom, the man who single-handedly coined the term ‘minimal space-disco’ (well, perhaps nudged in the right direction by Orbital et al), recently released a new, rather ambitious, album, Where You Go I Go Too. Weaving between ambient trance and breakbeat-flecked disco, the producer responsible for the mesmerizing reworking of that tune we all secretly love, Roxy Music’s Avalon, has produced a worthy follow-up to his 2006 album, ‘It’s A Feedility Affair’. This time, however, there’s only three tracks, ranging between 10 and 29 minutes in length, and the Eno/Ferry influence is thankfully clear to all.
