I love the deep-net-digging for obscure art, music, and trends… it gives new credence to indie culture… living in Raleigh, NC right now…

I have a hard time listing favorites. Let’s just say I like the regular presence of original art in my facebook & email accounts.. –Jess in Baltimroe
I like how my pulse quickens whenever I see an update from LostAtEm. Like a virtual espresso kick.
Tyler said | 3 October, 2009
I love learning about all of the small gallery events here in NY that nobody else will cover, keep it up! Oh…yeah…I’m in NYC…
(and Major Lazer’s video for ‘Pon de Floor’ is one of the greatest videos ever made)…
I love the huge range of art and design from across a wide array of media. To have all of this information in one spot is fantastic. Additionally, such a huge amount of info could easily be overwhelming, but Lost at E Minor’s well designed, clean, organized, functional presentation takes all of this information and makes it not only accessible, but managable and enjoyable to boot.
Truly fantastic site, don;t quite remember how I found it, but I am so glad I did.

I love this site because every week you tell me at least 10 things I don’t know
I love pretty much everything on this site.
The music, the art, and definitely all the food.
I pretty much go on this site everyday to get updated on whatever’s new and unique.
Definitely a very original site!

What I really love about E MINOR is the unexpected .. I love random mood browsing, and E MINOR is pure sensory indulgence!! I love all of the amazingly gorgeous art in all it’s forms presented on E MINOR. Thanks for the bottomless pit of inspiration. Another Random Thought from Tambo in Sydney

I absolutely love each and every thing @ Lost at E Minor. I look forward to finding out about new music (especially my secret play list). I get lost for hours exploring links and love finding unique galleries all around the world. I am E minor’s biggest fan and I never win anything, really anything so I’m hoping that my luck will be found @ Lost! I am a Cleveland,OH. gal.

LAEM is anything but. It lets me sit down once or twice a week and learn about dozens of new creative projects and emerging culture that don’t just feel like they’ve been sourced from the most diverse corners of internet, but instead the actual world; something I’ve yet to find anywhere else.

How do I love thee? How do I count the ways? Thine eclecticism and exuberance and endless surfing capabilities, maddening, inspiring, delicious. I am in Boston, America, Fort Point arts neighborhood, the city that arrested Shepard Fairey. Don’t remember how I found you, linked in from somewhere. I think I like your name mostly. I like the illustration section re: my e-name… but also music. I have a favorite e-zines for you to check out- http://www.exterminating angel.com
Thanks for all you do!
Hayley said | 5 October, 2009
I love the movement of Lost at E Minor, it goes from funky design in Prague to Diners in Nowhere USA. From creepy craigslist reenactments to cute bunny commercials to awing murals. And I love my city Halifax, NS, for all the tiny galleries, spoken word spaces, big bands in little pubs and cars that stop if a pedestrian even looks at the street.

I cant get away from this site! i check it almost everyday and everyday i am profoundly amazed by what i see and read. It so refreshing knowing that there are so many people in this world that have such passion for what they do and create.

Petey said | 7 October, 2009
I don’t where to begin. I will start with all the cool new artists and bands I find every weeks. Lets not forget everything in the realm of art & design shown conveniently and spectacularly in this one website which makes this site a wonderful source of inspiration for me and anyone else interested in art, design, or music etc.
Jackkkk said | 7 October, 2009
certain experiences can affect our lives in many ways. towards the end of college i started losing my sanity and contemplated spending my evenings sat in a tree picking off grannies who walked to the local grocers to get shopping… then i spilled onto your website and all was fixed. it has all i need to keep me sane. now im happy and instead of shooting old people i flash my goods at them and pronounce ‘LAEM MADE ME DO IT’. You get me in so much shit. And for that i thankyou.

Meg said | 8 October, 2009
What I like most about LAEM is that I will never get bored at this site. I am always interested in majority of the stuff here! What I do not like is that I will spend large amount of my time here,forgetting what I really should be doing, you know work, cleaning, cooking, showering.

love the design and info. always get at least one thing off here a day to look into further or to fall in love with. all; the way down in austin tx
Other than all the wonderful things to explore on this website on the daily, my current favorite thing is that I just had to sit through a 2 hour Property Law class and while it had every opportunity to be the most boring 2 hours of my life, and while my classmates were lost in games of Hearts and Farmville on Facebook, I was wondrously distracted by Lost at E Minor and scoured your site the entire time. Thanks for helping me fight boredom, and the man, with your badass site of art and creativity!
oh ps that’s coming from New Orleans!

Max Fricker said | 8 October, 2009
There are many things I love about lost at Eminor. I love the colours that hit me as soon as I enter the webpage. I love bragging to my art teacher about all the new artists that I’ve found through eminor. I love the new trends section that makes me sound artistic at dinner parties. But most of all I love the music. I’m currently at a classical music school and while others are burying their heads in music stands and contemplate music written 50-200 years ago, I get informed about great new bands that take style and performance into the contemporary age.
For these reasons I love lost at e minor.

I love seeing all the new images, ideas and imagination from all around the world. It reinforces my belief that there is always something new, exciting and beautiful in the world.

Beth Leigh said | 9 October, 2009
I love that I have this website bookmarked alongside Facebook and Twitter. I hate when I get far enough through that I’ve caught up to where I left off. I love how often guest contributors post; this isn’t a site run by a single person who shares the limited art & culture news they’ve managed to scrounge up for the day. I hate going on other blogs that try to feature similar things but just really are not at all comparable. I love that every time I look at the website I instantly read back ‘lo state minor’ for some reason. I hate that I’ve run out of things to hate because there are so few–it screws with the flow. I love that I can read and feel a part of the latest art, music and fashion scene without having to look too hard.
