When you begin a band, do you ever think about how will it end? LCD said their goodbyes last year with some concerts for all fans to celebrate one last loss of abandon. Lucky for all those who did not get to be part of the farewell, there is a documentary sharing all the highlights.

They just don’t make ‘em like they used to. Big Bird, Fozzie and the gang at Sesame Street team up with Microsoft to create a Kinect-based show interacting with the kiddies. Gets them off the couch and moving along with the shows. I want to play.

Fly Canvas’s brilliantly designed carry bags with a conscience begs the question: ‘what do you carry in your bag?’ While you list the goodies you would put in these rootsy-chic numbers, I can only list what the bags themselves carry. A message to empower through education. We can learn a lot from these guys and look good too which isn’t such a bad thing.

Always on the hunt for the best pure face and body products, I have come across a true gem: Olive Laurel + Ash Soap. It comes with an inspiring story of girl leaves corporate doldrums, becomes stay at home mom of two fantastic boys, and goes on a quest to find products that do not have harmful chemicals. Read more

She calls herself the Hip Hop Nancy Sinatra. I call her my new favourite artist. A true love song for our generation, her poetic candour fused with the sound of her velvety voice gives me goose bumps.

Sometimes you discover a blog that just makes you laugh out loud, a blog you must share with a friend, where you both sit on your computers connected by Skype laughing at the different posts that you discover. Posts with titles such as ‘I am better then your kids‘ and ‘Ben Stiller should star in every movie’ are just a few to get you going.

Good ol’ LEGOS, they are always so clever. Take this new super-hero helmet that reads the comic strip captions aloud while you flip through the pages. They also claim it will inspire the kiddies to read along with them, so it becomes an educational toy. Whatever. It’s cool and I’m getting one for my three brothers, even if they are in their late 20s.

Charlie Tippie stirs hip hop, rap and electronic with just the right mix of old school soul and beats. His song, Alone Tonight, makes me want to jump on a plane to New York City for his show on March 19. For now, I have to settle for his seven track Mute album on repeat, each song taking me to different places.

Giant office supplies add to an office space atmosphere, creating a playground rather then a space for corporate duldrums to wander aimlessly. This was originally created to separate the four sections of a London office so buyers could see each one differently. But I rather see it as a chance to feel as if we shrank. Fun! Read more

Eleanor Davis’s work is just so cool, it is almost as if she is reinventing the birth of creation by mixing today’s commentary on female’s and their new Goddess ways with the age old story of Adam and Eve. Read more

The website of Jason Allsebrook is saturated with bright and colourful illustrations. It’s a childlike haven for dreams and restless spirits as his characters drift through clouds and bounce off the elongated limbs of wide eyed monsters.
Oh man, what I wouldn’t give to be able to sing like Neil Finn. His voice rasps with all the sincerity and integrity of a thousand heartfelt melodies. Heck, I’d probably trade my prized collection of Archie comics for just the chorus on this song. Driving Me Mad? You betcha(dupa). This man is a treasure. Bow low indeed.
D’espresso is a coffee shop located on New York’s Lower East Side. The walls are covered in tiles with pictures of books on them, giving the illusion that the space is tilted. Designed by Nema Workshop..
I don’t intend on tempting any grape cravings which some borderline AAs may be experiencing, but everyone deserves some red after a long day. Drop of the Day is an easy way to receive fantastic quality wine at an extremely competitive price. Sure there are places online that offer cheaper alternatives, but Drop of the Day offers quality wine that pleases your wallet and your taste buds, too. Better yet, there is a new drop available to choose from each day for around AU$9 per bottle. Hmmm, I recommend you go for the blends.
Whitest Boy Alive follow their own rules: no overdubs, no FX, and the music is always recorded live in one take. Fronted by Erlend Øye (of Kings Of Convenience notoriety), the Berlin collective produce a distinctive blend of minimalist melodies and pillowy grooves. And on the eleven tracks that constitute their new album, Rules, they convey one polite directive: please, move your body. We have their latest single, Island [listen below], available for free download in the Music Download section of the Lost At E Minor site [pssst, it's in the third column], along with new releases by Vic Chestnutt, Winter Gloves, and Cut Off Your Hands.

While I feel I am not alone in breathing a sigh of relief over this season’s purging of fluoro, in retrospect there was a lot to be learned from the experience: don’t wear all fluoro, or don’t wear fluoro at all. And we slowly trudged back to black, which, despite what other colors may think, will always be the new black. Read more
