Cool sandwich boxes
When I was a kid, my sandwiches came wrapped rather ingloriously in clear clingwrap, an unappetizing mess of soggy multi-grain bread, lettuce and crookedly sliced tomato. Which is probably why, for five years, I threw the damn things out every day after school into the scrappy garden that grew out the back of my Mum’s apartment. Yes, that garden was a festering mess of moldy sandwiches. If only those school yard sandwiches could have been packaged like these gems. I mightn’t have eaten them, but I would’ve at least kept the cardboard casing.

I want to live in Tokyo, to be immersed in a city where quirky is cool and everything can be turned into cute cartoon characters. This awesome packaging of tiny baby crabs with a spicy topping may be a little literal, but it’s more fun that anything Birdseye have ever released.
I like the dynamic, colorful packaging from savory pastry company, Crumbs Foods. It’s all the work of London based designers, Folk Creative. Read more
Southern Alps’ slow fruits cereal
I’ve got a serious addiction to dried mangoes. Granted, it could be worse, but with all the preservatives, additives, and sugars that make their way into dried fruits like those I eat in bulk, the after effects can be pretty unappetizing. Enter Southern Alps, a UK-based health conscious brand that produces totally natural mueslis, snack bars, and ’slow’ fruits. Read more

There’s a deep complexity about the photographs of Beirut-based Gregory Buchakjian. The colours are ambitious and he invariably captures those moments of quiet reflection where, despite the motion of his subjects, you get a sense that there are layers upon layers of storyline sitting just beneath the glowing veneer. Earlier this year he presented his first solo exhibition of photographs as part of an exhibition called Nighthawks. Read more
We featured red hot Brooklyn band Yeasayer on Lost At E Minor a few months back, so we thought it was time we checked in with keyboardist-sampler, Chris Keating. Read more
There is something almost apocalyptic about the intense black and white decimated, chaotic landscapes that French artist Didier Blondeau lovingly depicts.
On those rare occasions when I feel the need to treat myself to an absolutely mind (and wallet) blowing meal, I love to come here. The restaurant is housed in an old diner (the old trailer style diners) which makes for some fun ambiance. Plus, the menu changes every week, so there’s never a written menu. The waiter comes out with a pen and writes the entire menu down on the butcher paper covering your table. Aside from all that, the food is absolutely unbelievable!
Sometimes we need an ad to remind us of what’s important. Normal is beautiful. Keep our oceans alive. Vote. Be more fearless. The Whitehouse Post is an international post-production company whose projects are damn fine. In fact, they are the scary mix of wit and aesthetics that makes any message convincing. Long live Coca-Cola.
I received a Kobe Beefcake t-shirt today and I’m already in meat-lover’s heaven. Who’d have thought all those funky shapes are actually cuts of meat? This new label from Kobe Japan is an insider’s (and meat-lover’s) treasure.

Good thing Kris Kuksi channelled the trauma of growing up with an alcoholic stepfather, his disdain for ‘the typical American life and pop culture’, and his fascination with the macabre into obsessive, baroque assemblages, paintings, and drawings. Read more

Almanac Market in Philadelphia is slightly pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for. Offering fantastic bread, cheeses, produce, and cured meats such as sopressata and pepperoni, it was a great pit stop when my band played in town, and definitely more economical and tasty than hitting a greasy spoon for road snacks.
