MUSIC

 » The National: LIVE - Standing on a mat which displayed the words "total cock," (exactly as such) Matt Berninger welcomed fans at Dublin's Olympia Theatre to the second night of his band's three-night stint in the Irish capital. The calm composure of the band's other members was obvious from the beginning, and complimented Berninger's disoriented and sometimes raucous nature on stage.

MUSIC

 » A Light Sleeper - "Despite the fact that it definitely does take a certain amount of mathematical thought to get multiple loops to sync up with each other, a lot of it is surprisingly instinctual." LAS senior staff writer Josh Zanger talks with Dheeru Pennepalli about effects, influences, and hand-made packaging.

LITERATURE

 » The American Plague - Molly Cardwell Crosby's book examines the outbreak of yellow fever in Memphis, Tennessee during the summer of 1878, and the medical community's often roundabout way of decoding the mysterious disease. Crosby's detailing of the deadly outbreak is remarkable, and the story is eerily echoed by the slow reaction of governments to similar events in our modern world.

ABOUT LAS » Lost At Sea is a new media publication covering a wide range of topics - everything from music to environmental issues, photography, literature, art, media, books, film, sports, style and culture. The idea behind LAS was to create a magazine as diverse as its staff and readers.

A number of the Lost At Sea staff have worked and continue to work for various local, national, and international publications, both independent and commercial. Often very stifling in their narrow focus, conventional media outlets left our writers hungry for something bigger, more diverse, more communal. More active, because this is the twenty-first century and it makes sense.

During it's short life LAS has accomplished many of its goals (but not all) and has in turn set new ones. Everything accomplished is through teamwork and cooperation, both with our regular staff writers and with freelance and one-time contributing writers. LAS is nothing short of a collective. Another contrasting point to some of the magazines out there is that we've checked our egos and scene ethics at the door: we welcome anyone and everyone to contribute and cover a wide range of topics. LAS follows no guidelines. If you have an idea, simply drop us a line.

Lost At Sea is updated fairly regularly - generally daily - with fresh new content.
