Pugz Luv Beats is halfway between an iPad game and a musical instrument. As you send your pups running around harvesting some love for themselves, they start making different beats. It’s easy to get distracted from playing the game and lose myself in making jams.

Arguing for the joys of pessimism, this is as entertaining as it is enlightening and easily the best listen I’ve had in a year. This piece just scratches the surface of his work. Alain de Botton is a philosopher, best-selling author, forward thinker, and has a particularly interesting project called The School of Life.

Demian is a stop-motion animator from Mexico City. His short films remind me of a mix of Brothers Quay and Adam Jones: dark, jittery, dreamlike, stop motion story telling at it’s finest.

Jose Carlos Veloso Junior’s current project is an inspiration. He’s working on bringing hi-res 3D printing to the masses. While there are currently a handful of relatively reasonably priced 3D printers out there, none have a resolution worthy of much more than experimental tinkering. Carlos Veloso Junior’s project could change all that.

A brilliant surrealist painter of colorfully intricate but dark mindscapes populated with demonic insects, marine critters, and tormented souls. Robert Steven Connett reached out to me after seeing my work because of our mutually complex imagery and about moving his work into 3D.

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
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’!

Wear your highbrow literary tastes with pride. Created by graphic-tee fashion label the-affair and printed on soft American Apparel, this tee is available for purchase through our online store.
