If you’ve ever known the mouth-watering appeal of well photographed food, then the Eat the Art exhibition now on in Boston may be the place for you. This lip-smacking exhibit brings together a smorgasbord of food as art themed pieces from more than forty-two artists. Using various media, artists showcase everything from a miniature cocktail dress made out of the skins of clementines to flowers made of jelly beans. One of the highlights includes several of Andy Warhol’s iconic food-themed pieces. Eat the Art is on now until the month’s end. Read more

For some, Banq resembles a cave, for others, the desert. But whatever the curvaceous layers of blond birch sweeping across the soaring ceilings at this Boston-based restaurant are reminiscent of, the uniqueness of its sleek and sexy design are indisputable. Tables made of recycled bamboo, exposed brick walls, and other smartly executed details all add to the restaurant’s dynamic atmosphere. Read more

I’ve been into this song for some time, with its overt sixties influences, melodies and structure, all locked in and given a push along by the solid ‘thwump’ of a watertight kick drum. It’s dreamy, drifty, pure escapism, like a light Sangria on a sparkling summer’s day. The band, Chester French, have released the track streamed through a virtual condom player! For real. The mind totally boggles at the thought-process behind it. The Boston duo are releasing their debut EP on November 11 and start an American tour on November 15. We have the track available for free download in the third column of the Lost At E Minor site.

Now I’m sure you think you’ve got better things to talk about than storing vegetables in your fridge. Well, that was until you heard what the designer for Bruno Super Deluxe was up too. This Boston-based label is redefining mushroom and garlic storage as we know it by creating reusable bags for vegies that just aren’t used to this kind of attention. Sealed in an unbleached cotton cocoon of goodness, your vegies will be blissfully unaware of any suspicious smelling surroundings. And with original Bruno designs screen printed onto them, they’re just what you need to spruce up the interior of your fridge. Stocking up your shelves has never looked better.

Swapping life in Boston for the wide spaces of Santa Fe, Mexican artist Brian Willmont is creating pieces that are described as ‘Technicolor American folklore’. His work explores themes such as American history within dreamscapes. I particularly love the work from Feudal Echo, a show he shares with Alex Lukas at San Francisco’s Park Life Gallery.

Music isn’t necessarily a serious venture. It’s almost funny when you find some you know will grate to dust the stiff upper lipped critics of the world. Every now and then I like the type of sound that hops around the edge of your ears without working its way into your brain and messing up the seratonin levels. And Californian 16-piece tropical-ska-pop group, Still Flyin’, do just that for me. It’s a good laugh, quite catchy, and an awesome live experience so I’m told: especially with the sun out, a can of cider in your hand and a bunch of grinning faces skanking around you.
