What will first hook you into Howl is its amazing style, which is really extraordinary. But what gets me is the film’s heart. Natalie Bettelheim and Sharon Michaeli’s story about a child’s transformation is dark and has real emotion which can make it edgy and tender at the same time. It’s that depth that gives what is basically a fantasy story a real sense of humanity.

Without a doubt my favorite new band in a long time. Bleached only have a handful of songs out, but they’re constantly either being played or being sung in my head. Sisters Jessica and Jennifer Clavin craft some of the catchiest rock songs out there that still have an edge to them. There’s nothing sappy or sad in their music. Just one hundred percent fun.

This collaboration between Kristoffer Borgli and The Golden Filter is haunting and beautiful. What I really love about this film is how creative and inventive it is with its space. I love the scene where she is jumping from book to book on the floor. There is nothing inherently special about that setting or the shot, but they added a real personality and quirkiness with how they set it up so she couldn’t touch the floor. It’s so simple and effective and every scene is like that.

Shadows on Stars is one of Portland’s best kept secrets. The music that Randa Smith and Brian Vincent make draw from a lot of sources, but the result is always high energy pop. They are a much needed shot of adrenaline to a city that exports a million ‘chill bands’ wearing flannel.

I check out Santiago Salvador’s Flickr all the time. I love the flair and playfulness of and the simplicity of the design. Salvador is able to combine a folk aesthetic with a modern style and his use of color is excellent. Read more

So I can’t understand a word on this Japanese blog, and neither do I really want to. No, there’s something intrinsically calming about staring at cute photos of cute cats, even more so when they’re balancing things precariously on their heads. Read more
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.

The newest giclee print from Rebel Unlit, Inquiry into Jellyfish, is an adventure in mixed media. We love the subtleties of this piece, which could be missed at first glance: the transparencies, the color distress, the foreground texture. We’re also a pretty big fan of that jellyfish. Inspired by Haruki Murakami’s The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, this limited-edition piece is printed on cotton matt archival 310gsm paper and is available now in the Lost At E Minor online store.
