At this unique privately owned museum in Los Angeles, one has to walk through a maze of corridors within the softly lit exhibits where you are introduced to an alternative history that you would not read in history books. Read more

Daniella White is the designer of Plumed Serpent, extravagant headdresses that she hand makes herself in Los Angeles. Each headdress is a magical blend of feathers, recycled furs, vintage jewels and gems, fine fabrics and chains. You truly become a goddess, a queen or whatever your heart desires when you wear her pieces. Where do you wear them? I like to walk around the house in my bathrobe with my fancy Plumed Serpent pieces. Yes, I collect them and I feel fabulous. Read more

With over 60 artists participating this year, The Ellen Art Show is a charity event featuring portraits of popular talkshow host and activist, Ellen DeGeneres. The profits for the show are donated to the Trevor Project, which is ‘determined to end suicide among LGBTQ youth by providing life-saving and life-affirming resources and advocacy/educational programs that create a safe, supportive and positive environment for everyone’. The Ellen Art Show, the brainchild of spoken word artist Renda Writerr, will take place at The Terrell Moore Gallery in Los Angeles on January 28 (DeGeneres’s birthday).

Los Angeles, California, home of one the darkest, yet bright, musical minds I’ve heard. Chelsea Wolfe’s voice and rough riffs can turn suns and blue skies into the most enjoyable rainy days. Read more

I came across We Were Promised Jetpacks a couple years ago on satellite radio when I was driving from New York to Los Angeles with a friend. I grabbed the album (These Four Walls) when I got home and I’ve been hooked ever since. I can listen to their song, Keeping Warm [listen below], on a loop all day. Read more

A year ago you could happily find me here, writing for Lost At E Minor, and cooking away in Los Angeles restaurant kitchens. A year later, I’ve launched Sqirl (for the old saying ‘Squirreling Things Away’), a preservation company dedicated to jams, jellies, and marmalades made from certified organic seasonal fruit no more than 200 miles from Sqirl’s commercial kitchen.

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

Kitchen 24 is one of the neatest places to dine in the Los Angeles district. Not only is the food unbelievably tasty, but it’s open 24/7, making it the perfect place to eat that Mediterranean tofu omelette you’re craving at 4pm when you wake up from a long night out. I strongly recommend the chamomile tea with an adorable freshly baked cupcake. They’re so cute. It’s no wonder why rap icons like Ice T and 50 Cent choose to chill here, I’m told.

Directed by Matt Wells and shot in Los Angeles, this video for the Rafter song No Fucking Around is awesome. Why? Err, well, start with the rather unorthodox casting and go from there.

Polluted, overrun, and over-trafficked. And that’s just the back streets of Los Angeles. Our friends over at Wild Ammo have published a collection of photos that anwer the inpenetrable question: ‘what if everyone suddenly disappeared from the city? It would look quite deserted, and even eerie’. Indeed. Read more

Beginning with only a few ribbons of fabric, these outfits were sewn by Bosnian designer Naida Begeta, as she was unable to find anything that suited her personal style. Read more

Do you know the feeling when you come across a painting or a photo and it really gets to you somehow in a very straightforward kind of way? That’s how I feel when I look at Brooke Shaden’s work. Read more

Wild little bees in Los Angeles are buzzing around their local turf gathering from what happens to be in bloom making each batch of Feral Honey to have its own unique flavor. Russell Bates and Amy Seidenwurm sided with Mother Nature and natural selection allowing the bees to do their own thing, resulting in resillient, strong and happy bees. And happy bees equals delicious honey.

It may be because I am currently hanging out in the bedlam known as Los Angeles, but I find this video by El Guincho for his song Bombay to be rather titillating beyond the fact that there are no small number of, er, tits shown in it.
‘Unfinished and Unpublished‘ is a beautiful collection of notebooks created as part of a collaboration between StudioMatador and other artists and illustrators. Read more
The great thing about Twitter is that it reads as an unfiltered window into the real time thoughts of a generation who have no handle on the term discretion, as our friends at Oddee have proven with their list of the ‘12 Most Funny Tweets Ever‘. Read more
Improv Everywhere strikes again with a spontaneous musical in a Los Angeles mall. Wireless microphones hooked up to the mall’s PA system ensured the feeding masses didn’t slip into Cinnabon-induced comas until after the show was over. Note especially the angry dude in sunglasses at about 2:51 — apparently he thinks nothing can ever top Rent.
In 2004, a local government in Paris revealed plans to redevelop an area of the city. However, in response to time lag and a lack of consultation, a residents group launched a virtual design competition for the area in Second Life. Read more
Forget Facebook, that’s so passe. For my fix of social media connectivity, I go to Lamebook, the ‘funniest and lamest of Facebook’, and pour over the excruciating faux pas’ of others. Read more
The pan flutes can get a little much, but I still really like Mariee Sioux debut studio album Faces in the Rocks. I’m hoping she has a new album in the works. Listen to her cover of the Cure’s Love Song below.

During a recent visit to Australia, I picked up one of these Das Monk tees. I figured I’d bring a little piece of Down Under-style back to America with me. They’re a sweet fit and run just a touch longer than a few other brands I’ve worn, so they pair well with fitted jeans. save yourself an airfare and grab one from our online store.

Some friendly advice for the neighbours, who simply don’t get it, or street art? You decide which one it is.
The return of the Brionvega rr226
Italian brand Brionvega has resurrected the classy Radiofonografio piece first created in 1965. The updated version is just like the original turntable/radio unit, but also has a CD/DVD player.
It’s refreshing to see artists like Joe Kievitt who are contented to explore the beauty in simple forms and asymmetrical patterns. Read more
