Don’t get confused by the unusually long name of this band. Once you start listening to their music, words won’t matter any more. I saw this band for the first time in Vienna as they opened a show for the super-group, Them Crooked Vultures, and I have to say, it should have been the other way round. This year they stopped by in Vienna for a single show, and again, I was stunned how far their skills had expanded. They create a sea of sound into which your soul will eventually float away.

Wanting to create a space where the public could chill out, the architect team of Heri and Salli designed Flederhaus in Vienna. Created for the MuseumsQuartier, this house-shaped structure invites people to come in, relax in one of its many hammocks and enjoy their surroundings from a new point of view. If only all public spaces were this inviting. Read more

Have you heard your veggies today? Eat them if you want. But we’ve been enjoying the sweet, sweet music emanating from a medley of fresh vegetables in Austria. The Vegetable Orchestra is truly a one of a kind genius ensemble composed of a few clever and talented musicians in Vienna. It sounds too quirky to be for real, right? That’s what we thought anyway.

Tampa street artist Tes One will be writing some guest posts for Lost At E Minor over the next week, propping his favourite artists, musicians and more. Tes’ own works are impulsive snapshots, just like the superimposed sensations of a cool, urban trailer. He combines digital graphic elements with the rough language of spray and graffiti art: ‘stenciling meets painting, spray cans meet brushes, digital meets tangible. The result is an explosion of colors and shapes, which merge in unexpected visual harmony’. His new solo art show, Smooth Getaway, is on at Advanced Minority Cubicle Artspace in Vienna between May 27 – July 16. Read more

There’s something wrong with this picture, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Oh yes, there’s the word Kunst written on the building. Entitled House Attack, this artwork by Erwin Wurm features a cute little suburban cottage wedged on the rooftop of the MUMOK (the Museum of Modern Art or in German, Museum Moderner Kunst) in Vienna. The exhibition is now gone, but it does leave a lasting impression.

Designed by Vienna-based architecture firm Coop Himmelblau, this small-scale, 300-seat performance space has been submitted on behalf of the Munich Opera Festival, to be held in 2010. As ArtInfo notes:’The approximately 6,000-square-foot pavilion is anchored by a sloping, trapezoidal component, but characterized by an outcropping of pyramidal structures that have been “generated parametrically through the overlay of sound frequencies from Jimi Hendrix’s song Purple Haze and Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni. The shapes are meant to reflect and reduce sound’. Read more

Austrian artist, Erwin Wurm, has captured the times with this piece recently shown at the Mumok Museum in Vienna — obesity and a gas guzzler in one.
Oh, we LIKE this play on words. text-align: centaur; does just that. Enter some words, any old words, and this neat little program centres them for you. Whoops, sorry, that should be Centaurs them. Rock on (and give it a go).
Sex permeates our lives in some very unexpected ways, coloring not only the idealized memories of some people in our lives, but also the frustrating banality of the time spent those same people. Reuben Negron captures all the nuances — loneliness, sadness, detached kinkiness — of our erotic selves with his paintings that often read like single-panel narratives. Read more
How old must Kermit be now? Not to old to collaborate with skater-friendly retailer Supreme and photographer Terry Richardson. Kermit, who usually wears nothing, has been hooked up with some new threads to advertise the brand. It seems Kermit and Terry are the perfect work partners: they’ve even released a video clip documenting the shoot.
We have a thumping track by Chicago-based rocker Tom Fuller [above] available for free download in the Music Download section of Lost At E Minor (pssst, it’s in third column of the site), along with new tracks by Five O’Clock Heroes, Fujiya & Miyagi, and Madlib. Read more
Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs are primarily remembered for the song Wooly Bully, but I’ve been incessantly listening to Little Red Riding Hood. As a metalhead, any song that features howling makes me happy.
