Figment by Ron English
Reader Find
Lost At E Minor contributor Ron English has a new artwork available based around the Andy Warhol adage: ‘I’d like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name.

Familjen album art
Reader Find
Pieter over at Today and Tomorrow doesn’t like the ridiculously goofy and saccharine music of Swedish electronic act Familjen, but right now it’s making me grin. I agree, though, that album art for their (his) latest album Manskligheten is pretty amazing and more complex than the music itself. The artwork was the result of a collaboration between photographer Erik Wahlstrom and the design studio Bergen.

Ron English strikes again!
Contributor
That master of Popaganda, Ron English, has struck again, subverting the largely amoral values of some of the corporate world’s most recognisable symbols with his inventive, witty and brilliantly incisive form of artful anti-advertising, this time as part of the Welling Court Mural Project in Queens, New York. English, an Occasional Contributor to Lost At E Minor, will be writing a series of posts for site next week about the artists that are inspiring him.

Edward Rondthaler
Reader Find
Unfortunately, I only became familiar with Edward Rondthaler after his passing last year, but his incredible contributions to typography (one of the founding members of the International Typeface Corporation) and crusade to fight illiteracy through spelling reform of the English language will continue to live on. House Industries shot a video of Rondthaler giving a [...]

Route 40, Patagonia
Reader Find
We pulled into a small settlement; a place with twenty or so small houses concentrated together with a tiny store. I walked to the outskirts and looked at the land falling in front of me. I passed caged pigs and cow skulls lying in the dirt. On numerous occasions I’d read that Patagonia houses a ferocious wind like no other land. To quote Bruce Chatwin: ‘it is a wind so fierce it strips men to the core’. Trees stood ripped and battered at some angle; one side bare, the other clutching at what branches remained preventing them from being ripped from the truck. The tops of the trees bent and cracked as if in an invisible arm wrestle. They had struggled with the wind since saplings.

Australia’s Peats Ridge Music Festival
Reader Find
There aren’t enough muddy, smiling, semi-naked people in the world. There were, however, plenty at the Peats Ridge Music Festival. The highlight was actually the crowd — all so friendly and random, except for a cowboy whose hat I stole at about 11pm, but I did give it back. After it’d been for a mud bath. Anyway, there was over ten stages of entertainment at this festival, with about seven for music, one for kids, as well as some really random shit – think topless hippies dancing around paper effigies.

French band, Cocoon
Contributor
We’re big fans of French duo Cocoon, so we spoke to frontman Marc Daumail to prove it. Ahead of their upcoming tour of Australia in November, we asked him how vibrant the French music scene is right now: ‘It’s such a relief to be considered like a real band singing in English in a country like [...]
