Kadir van Lohuizen’s Via Pan Am series
Known mostly for his work covering the seven largest rivers in the world, Dutch photographer Kadir van Lohuizen has embarked on another massive project. This time round he is tracking migration in the Americas during a 40 week journey across the American continent. He started in Terra Del Fuego 283 days ago and is currently in the USA.

Dutch photographer Ruade DeLone creates rather painterly images with his camera, often paying homage to the Dutch masters and using double exposures, dramatic lighting, muted colors, and textured post-production to create surreal and gothic scenes with chiaroscuro. Read more

Cape Town is a pretty exciting place in general but if you are keen on art, good food, and second-hand shops, you should head down to Woodstock. Find new exhibitions at the Goodman Gallery and the Stevenson Gallery, have lunch at Superette or The Kitchen, and do some vintage shopping at The Cat’s Meow or Second Time Around. If you feel like some people watching and good food on a Saturday morning, then head down to the arts and crafts market, known locally as the Old Biscuit Mill.
Poladarium: tear-off calendars featuring 366 Polaroids
I am not one to have a calendar hanging on any wall anywhere in my house but these Poladariums are a must-have for 2012. Only 88mm x 108mm, they feature 366 Polaroids taken by various artists and there is a little inscription on the back of each page with more information. These tear-off calenders are published by Seltmann & Söhne in Germany but available worldwide.
I can’t remember when I first heard Mark Lanegan’s voice. I think I’ve always known it. That dark, growling, beautiful voice. For the first time since his last solo album, Bubblegum, in 2004, a new record is about to be released early February. The record is called Blues Funeral and features the likes of Josh Homme, Jack Irons and Greg Dulli. I am especially pleased Greg Dulli is joining him because no one can beg and plead as seductively as he can, even on a bad day.

Produced by our talented friends over at Miami-based studio, Common Machine, this is the first installment of a new bi-monthly series of exclusive Lost At E Minor videos that they will be putting together for us.

As a child, gold mining towns were exemplified in my mind by boring theme parks populated by out of work actors in naff colonial costumes. My parents used to drag us along in our overheated datsun because they couldn’t afford to take the kids to Disneyland. As often happens, I now appreciate the destinations whose mentions used to prompt a whole lot of whingeing about seatbelt buckle burns and compensation payouts of McDonalds. Walhalla is one such beauty. Set in the misty foothills of Australia’s Baw Baw ranges, it was once a gold era boom-town, but is now home to less than 20 residents (not counting the ghosts). Read more
An internet classic. I will always love this site. The best ones are the 13 year old kids with peacock blue hair dye who pose in front of the fireplace when their parents are on date night. I’m usually quite generous with my ratings. Read more
Describing their sound as ‘nihilist suicide pop’, Rome-based quartet Spiritual Front draws immediate comparisons to Nick Cave, but their approach to dark themes have a hint of irreverence — they inject unexpected doo-wop flares and new wave bombast to their atmospheric neofolk. Their latest album, Armageddon Gigalo, is a beautiful and catchy masterpiece for fans of Death In June, Sol Invictus, and even latter-day Duran Duran.
The Hussy Summer 2009 Exotic Escape collection is up for viewing. I quite like the leather Zanzibar sandals for a stylish casual look that’s slightly sophisticated. While there are a few nice dresses in the new line, I much prefer the accessories and clutches. That’s partially why the rest of the globe has come to love this iconic Aussie label, right?
