March Into The Sun: the new single from Foxx on Fire
March Into The Sun is Foxx on Fire’s new summertime single. We recorded the track in post industrial Sheffield with Colin Elliot; Richard Hawley’s long-time producer and collaborator. The music video was filmed in the misty and mystical hills of West Cork, Ireland. The shooting was epic but fun. It was like playing transcendental hide and seek. Although we all wore inappropriate footwear and nearly got frostbite from running around in the cold with completely drenched shoes for 5 days. Edward our keyboardist, sadly lost one shoe to the bog.
Swedish songwriter Kissey: new single Cry
Last spring, I was so taken by Kissey’s melancholic vocal take of Creep, I contacted her to find out more. As fate would have it, the Swedish vocalist/songwriter was crafting her new album in Manhattan, 10 blocks away from my apartment at the time. Read more
John Maus’s 1980s themed Head for the Country video
I like this video and song a lot. I love the way snow looks on camera. I wonder if it would look so good in real life.

Wired list of world’s most extreme insects
Wired magazine just posted a comprehensive list of the world’s most ‘extreme’ insects – the loudest, the biggest, the smallest, the bloodiest, etc. Is it weird that I find most of them to be really cute? Read more

The issue of abortion has hardly ever been represented so honestly by a movie. Knocked Up and Juno gave the pro-choice movement a boost, and of those two, only Juno came close to confronting the issue. In the Princess of Nebraska, the main character suffers through indecision, naivety and turmoil that seem much closer to reality. Read more
This mini-museum is right next to that shining fortress of New York’s MOMA and always has interesting shows, is never crowded, and the works are sure to inspire you. The Folk Art Museum is best known for putting now-popular outsider artist Henry Darger under a huge spotlight. And they’re showing some of his masterpieces yet again. Don’t miss it! Read more
Interior design website, Apartment Therapy, just posted some amazing pictures of ’70s rock stars in their parents’ homes. My favorite is of David Crosby and his dad [below]. The two look so completely opposite of each other that it’s hard to believe that it’s Crosby’s real dad. They also look like they’re barely concealing the contempt they have for each other. Crosby’s father was an Academy-Award-winning cinematographer who shot Tabu and High Noon, amongst other well-known films. Read more
Stylistically The Asteroids Galaxy Tour is hard to pin down, except to say that they throw one hell of a party – which may be why those music-loving folks at Apple chose them to help sell what’s being touted as ‘the funnest iPod ever’. Sun-drenched pop melodies collide with Technicolor dreams, anchored by the band’s shared love of the classic soul stylings of Marvin, Stevie and Sly that can be heard in the horns snaking through Around The Bend, as well as the slinky The Sun Ain’t Shining No More [below], the Thomas Gold remix of which we have available for free download in the Music Download section of Lost At E Minor [psst, it's in the third column], along with a stack of other cool tunes. Get those iPods ‘a thumpin’!
