Lu Hao is an incredible Chinese artist who paints meticulous and insanely detailed depictions of organized everyday collections in China, like shelves of CDRs, all painted with ink on silk. You won’t believe it even when you see it! Read more

Steven Wilson just did the latest cover for The Fader magazine which really caught my eye. Fader’s art director — and occasional Lost At E Minor contributor — Phil Bicker led me to Wilson’s website. I’m really impressed with how prolific he is and how he’s created his own style that looks a bit 70s mixed with right now. [see also the illustration work of Barcelona-based artist, Alex Trochut]

I came across Charley Harper on Ebay a few years ago, I bought a signed book and was immediately hooked. His work is so modern for its time. It’s all handmade, but it looks like it could have been created on a computer. He’s had a prolific career, and when you scroll through the entire book and see all of his work together, it really is mind-blowing. [see also Other Design]

With their daily (and obscure) free music downloads, Bumrocks was the first music blog of its type. Like other great ideas, it’s spawned a bunch of rip-off sites, but Bumrocks is still the best.

The Sartorialist is my street fashion inspiration. It’s so interesting to see how people are dressing and putting looks together in all the different cities it covers.

Brian Bress is my art obsession at the moment. I recently saw his show at the LFL gallery in New York, and his collages and photographs were so striking, modern and funny that I couldn’t stop staring at them.

I’ve been a big fan of Babak Radboy’s designs for a while now. I love how complex and time consuming some of his pieces look and how fresh and original they are.

I’ve been collaborating with Sue Stemp on prints for a few seasons now. Her dresses are gorgeous. I particularly love how she uses color and detail.

‘Some people call me the space cowboy, some call me the gangster of love, some people call me Maurice, cause I speak with the pompetus of love’. The pompetus of love?! Really. I don’t know what the heck Steve Miller was on the day he wrote that, but I could sure do with some now. Read more
Australian singer-songwriter Ben Lee recently contributed some posts to Lost At E Minor on some of his favourite cultural things and people. We checked in with him to see what sort of head-space he’s been in the time since the release of his latest album, Ripe. Read more
Given the amount of talent he has, it’s a mystery why German producer Pantha Du Prince not received more attention than he has. His minimal tech soundscapes are surprisingly melodic and moody, as reflected on his epic track, Asha, as good a starting point to the music of this German electro whiz as any.

Andrew Fagan, lead singer of The Mockers, the poppiest New Zealand band of the 80s, came around to my place once when I was an impressionable 10-year old with stars in my eyes and a head full of shiny, shiny melodies. Read more
Ninety percent of the time, you can pick a Scandinavian brand from a metric mile away, which is not necessarily a bad thing considering that the Scands have such a refined, clean approach to thinking about clothes. Read more
There are few more joys an artist has in life than coming across great resources for inspiration. Lately I’ve been studying typography, the meaning of words, and then something as simple as trying to find all the ‘7 letter words’ I can so that it might fit into my latest musings. Read more
