Update #3: Lost at E Minor
Lost at E Minor would have to be one of the world's awesomest websites. It's all about new creative stuff, from silly doodles, to quirky fashion, to strange but addictive websites, to sweet indie movies...if it's cool and arty, they'll share it with the world.
So it's an honour for Back in the Soviet Bloc's Kickstarter page to be featured on that very site! Take a look here:

Be sure to visit Lost at E Minor, and keep telling your friends about us!
