It’s a fact, people who don’t like clutter don’t collect plush and vinyl toys. The myriad of sizes, shapes, colours and textures in any collector’s display would put any minimal loving layman into a tizzy. Read more

OhNo!Doom’s ravenous FluffyYukYuk is a plushie with a serious chomp action. FluffyYukYuk follows the success of FluffyBadBad but one notable improvement is that the chomping teeth are no longer made of metal but plastic. Which means it’s fun without the risk of serious injury. [see also Dot Dot Dash]

If you thought the only retro thing about the revival of the necktie is the popularity of Mad Men, think again. Made from recycled cassette tape, Alyce Santoro and Julio Cesar’s limited edition ties are giving mix tapes the world over a second chance. Believe it or not, they are also audible if you run a tape head over them!
We’re going to print and frame this collection of politically correct alternate phrases and hang it on a wall of the Lost At E Minor office. Yes, practice does make perfect. Now, all together now: ‘Excuse me, sir? I don’t think you understand’.

My friend and fine artist Sara Wolfe sent me this link of Chicago based artist Diego Leclery. He created this flash animation Panda, to celebrate the recent Beijing Olympics. He initially said he would take it down after the closing ceremony, but it is still up, so watch this cool one before it’s gone!
I almost forgot — metal is really about being drunk, pissed, offensive, and satanic. I have Bestial Mockery to thank for this. Their no-frills black thrash is barebones and snarling without being too dead-pan serious. These guys from Sweden are clearly having a blast worshiping the Dark One in the tradition of old-school bands like Venom, early Bathory, and Sodom. Nothing too original here, but it’s fun as hell.
Shoes, art, shoes, art. Which will win in the ever-stimulating battle of wills in Kobi Levi’s creations. Though, as a Brooklyn resident, this one with gum as the heal is a just little too close to the truth. Read more
