Mikael Kennedy
Mikael Kennedy is one of my favorite photographers. From the first time I saw his work, I had the feeling not just that I wanted to see more of it, but that I wanted to be in it: to go to those places, to find out who those people are in his photographs. And the more you see of his work, the more the experience of it deepens because he continues to shoot many of the same close friends and family members over the years. So you start to experience the work as an ongoing story.

Martin de Thurah’s videos have a mystery to them that I think is amazing. At times, it’s very much on the surface: a strange costume, elements of sci-fi. But often there’s just something indescribably beautiful and weird in the way he frames an apple tree, in the way he launches you straight into a story without exposition, in the way he makes you feel as if something is off but you can’t figure out what it is.

Appalshop: for Appalachian music, culture and history
Appalshop, in Whitesburg, Kentucky, is a great resource for anyone interested in Appalachian music, culture and history. It’s dedicated to giving voice to people of the region to tell their own story. You can watch lots of great performances and clips from documentaries they’ve made on their website and stream their radio station as well. One of my favorites is WMMT.
My new album: The Jessamine County Book of the Living
Right now, I’m getting ready for the June 7 release of my new record, The Jessamine County Book of the Living [listen to the first track off it below], and looking forward to getting in the van and touring the US for the next three months. I’ve also been having a lot of fun making costumes and props, shooting and editing, and collaborating with several video artists to make videos for a bunch of the songs on the record. Also, I invented a new musical genre with my friend Kyp today: ‘survival folk’. It’s when you write a song on the mandolin while you get mauled by a mountain lion.

Says New York-based illustrator Yuko Shimizu on the work of artist Marilyn Minter: ‘I was extremely lucky to be able to study fine arts with Marilyn Minter as my professor before she became too busy and stopped teaching the course. She was brutally honest about students work, which sometimes made me cry but made me grow like nobody else did. I owe her a lot’. Read more
I originally caught wind of these photos on amazing artist/designer Scott Hansen’s blog. These photos, taken by Danny Lyon in Brooklyn in 1974, have such a gritty, yet nostalgic feel to them. As a native New Yorker, any New York history pieces leave me curious. Great finds. [Musician Outasight is writing guest posts for Lost at E Minor] Read more

The highly polished electronic sound of Minneapolis band UltraChorus falls somewhere between Hot Chip and Phoenix, bringing a cut and paste indie rock aesthetic to late nineties Hip-Hop and R&B.

Ring out the bad, and ring in the good, Yessir, these Happy Day and Crappy Day rings are just that: a jolt of brutal realism cloaked in saccharine sweet colourings.
