Saint Andre is a triple creme cow’s milk French cheese in a powdery white, bloomy skin of mould (thank you, Wikipedia). There is a C-Town (run of the mill NY supermarket) on Graham Ave in Brooklyn that has it for $3.99 which I am convinced is a mistake since they have cheddar for $8.99 in the same bin.

Zorch is a two-piece from Austin with some French or Canadian in them. One guy plays vintage Moog and 73-key Rhodes, his whole set-up shaking and rocking, while the drummer, equipped with a Bobby Brown My Perogative-era headset mic, gets jazz wild on a rickety, shitty sounding kit. Their tunes are analog opuses, with big changes and hooky lead lines.

The video for Woodkid’s Iron looks like it had the budget of a 1999 Limp Bizkit video. There is intense slow-mo, explosions, a white horse, and I think someone’s famous girlfriend is in it holding an owl on a really sweet medieval-looking arm piece. Definitely reminiscent of the heyday of MTV impact.

This new series of alternative sculptures by Brendan Lott uses the wall as part of the ‘canvas’, so if you were to buy one of his pieces, he would have to recreate it on the actual wall in your home. Read more

This band is so raw right now, it’s truly refreshing. The video for Split It Concrete Like the Golden Sun God is the four minute tale of the oppressed overcoming the oppressor. Their other video is a bunch of dramatic projections in front of them jumping around being young and handsome and earnest. Plus, you can’t understand barely any of the lyrics, so there’s a 90 percent chance they’ll be huge.
It’s been nearly two years since I left the cultural overload of London for a quieter life in Seattle. Has the change of scenery influenced my work? I think so. Read more
Back when I was an ankle biter, the best I got for my birthday was a thick, dripping chocolate cake, with a handful of candles on top. These days, the kids are getting a bit more … errr … demanding, as this incredibly artful collection of kiddie birthday cakes suggest. Read more

I’m enjoying the writing on the recently launched The Epi-Cure blog, which discusses the ‘latest scientific studies on health and nutrition’, and features interviews with ‘expert scientists, dieticians, and nutritionists’. The site’s founder and editor, Michelle Grey, also runs tasty, healthy recipes from New York chef Benjamin Towill, including today’s installment: Stuffed Zucchini Flowers [above]. Hmmm hmm. Read more
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.

This is my new favorite jewelry artist. I love how she combines bullet casings with things like crystals and feathers. It’s very soft natural beauty clashing with harsh, man-made hardware. See more of her work on Etsy
