I first heard of Nerve City through their excellent Catholic School EP earlier this year. I thought they were a full band, but turns out it's just one dude in his room recording a bit of lo-fi garage gold. (Heard that one before huh). Anyway this song Sleepwalker is an awesome little ditty, probably my favourite song of his so far.

Das Monk x Anna Lunoe for Concrete Playground
The guys at Concrete Playground are putting together a book of Sydney's 50 best young creative talents, and we were pretty chuffed to be a part of that list, along with some of our favourite designers Greedy Hen, Elke Kramer, Trust Fun and We Buy Your Kids. Anna and I had to submit two pages of our inspiration for the book (Anna was nominated on her own for her DJing but we decided to do it as a team), so we decided to take some images of her and put our own creative spin on it by giving it the Das Monk collage treatment. Anna got busy with the watercolours while I started messing round with photoshop and the results are our two pages below. The book should be out soon!

I just got a whole lot of demos by Toro Y Moi aka Chaz Bundick and they're all pretty amazing. He covers a lot of ground from lo-fi pop to electronica to straight up indie. Definitely looking forward to a proper release from this dude in the near future.

This one's been going around for a while now but thought I'd show it some love on the blog. Why do all my favourite albums have weird collages for their cover art?

Washed Out - Feel It All Around
This song is a real slow burner. I love it. Hands down one of my favourite tracks of the year.

So many great summery songs out at the moment. I think I'm going to make a mixtape!
Oh yeah and how good are Real Estate... they've released a heap of killer tracks the last year and are finally releasing their full length very soon. Can't wait.
