Stereomood is better than a freshly baked croissant. Okay, maybe you can’t eat Stereomood, but you can listen to it during cooking time. Just as I was waving good-bye to my iPod and closing the drawer I was burying it in, a friend of mine sent me a link. I was filled with complete happiness and optimism. The world will be okay, I thought to myself. I proposed to said friend as I was feeling quite romantic during our candlelit dinner and was rejected. I mm now feeling quite lonely, with a slight hangover.

Having supported The Decemberists on their last tour, don’t be surprised when you fall in love with the voices of Mountain Man after their very first verse on any track. On this one, you’ll find yourself singing: ‘Please Mister Moon, don’t tell on me’. Girls, we think you’re doing just fine.

WeWOOD watches are a stylish way to tell the time in an environmently friendly way. The Italian-made watches are produced from materials which are recyclable, biodegradable and completely free of any artificial or toxic nasties. They also produce less CO2 than traditional materials used to make watches. And if that wasn’t enough, each time a watch is purchased, they plant a tree. I Wood. WeWood. Wood You?

Remember that feeling you got when you first watched Karate Kid? The feeling where anything is possible and no obstacle is too big to be waxed on and then waxed off. That’s the same feeling you get when you watch The Fighter. Read more

It’s 12.54am and I’m finding it difficult to sleep. I’ve got post-gig excitement pulsing through my veins and I can’t get his voice out of my head. But I don’t mind. Who cares about waking up early for work and responsibilities when you’ve just come home from watching an amazing Icelandic specimen like Jonsi. What a man. I am a heterosexual, female, omnivore who is proud to say, ‘I am madly in love with a gay male vegan!’

From the moment you hear her voice, you’ll be hooked. July Flame is the seventh album for Laura Veirs — a former guest contributor to Lost At E Minor — and an album you must have in your collection. Her beautiful voice is so familiar and comforting. Veirs has come a long way from the punk band she was once a part of. The title track, in particular, will make you feel like you’re not alone if you find yourself falling in love with a Peach.

At times it might be rude and crude, but no matter what your taste, if you have even a bit of a sense of humour, Natalie Dee will make you laugh, if not cringe or just softly chuckle at her cartoons. They may seem like simple drawings at first, but look a little closer, and these friendly penguins and gossip girls are full of personality. Read more

Can’t find the time to write that love letter to the barista that has been making your coffee since 2008?! Need help with your CV? The girls at Clothing for Correspondence can help.

Gullible dates back to 2004 with useless facts to fill your sponge head with. Now you can be that annoying person at a party that starts dropping information that no one wants to hear, or in some cases want to hear, but don’t care about. Did you know nearly one-third of burn-related hospital visits by males aged 13 to 20 are due to an attempt at setting their flatulence alight. Amazing statistics, and so typical. Oh, and 61 percent of Swedes cannot describe the difference between Astronomy and Astrology. But who cares, 90 percent of Swedes are hot so they don’t need to be smart.
Christopher Engel’s semi-abstract paintings prove it’s possible to make intriguing pieces without applying meticulous detail. Instead, he encompasses thick, bold, impasto strokes with contrasting colours to create wonderful works of art.
Beast is a new collaboration between the Montreal-based French producer, Jean-Phi Goncalves, frontman of the electro band Plaster, and singer Betty Bonifassi. Their sound inhabits a place where the cinematic grandeur of Portishead meets the immediacy of Rage Against the Machine. Bonifassi calls it ‘trip rock’, invoking the way haunting choirs and glitchy electronic bits run underneath saw-toothed bass and grinding guitars, and she may be onto something. You can download their single Mr Hurricane for free via the Music Download section of this site.

Hailing from upstate New York, Phantogram were signed by the uber-hip Ghostly label on the recommendation of School of Seven Bells. Hardly surprising given Phantogram’s dark, beats-and-samples pop sound.

In 2008, graphic designer Becky Edgington and illustrator Sarah Beetson created two limited-edition packs of playing cards featuring images from Beetson’s exhibition, 50 Bucks: Bring On The Sluts.
