Máni's pictures from her trip to Iceland are seriously making my heart skip multiple beats. See more on her lovely blog.

My friends Mike and Anny have released some new music under the name of Glisk. Think Beach House x m83 with a tiny touch of something more pop, like Au Revoir Simone. (I'm terrible at comparing and reviewing music. It's really lovely.)

Their EP Servants Heart is free from here; I'm finding a hard time choosing a favourite song, but for the moment I'll say Emlin. Recognise the cover photo? It's courtesy of yours truly.

(OK, no more Adelaide music for a while. Wait. While I'm here, Doe is the third band I'm crushing on at the moment. Alright, done.)

Obligatory quarterly 'OMG, Steering By Stars!!!!!' post. This is starting to get awkward.
(It's OK if you want to skip forward to the 2min-ish mark.)

1923. Looking south down King William Street, Adelaide from North Tce. That's the Rundle/Hindley intersection in the middle.
Women at work during wartime. Just stacking practice bombs, painting timber, farming in a skirt, the usual.

All images from the fascinating State Library of South Australia's flickr stream.

Photo-tours appear to be flavour of the month on the interwebs right now. These studio tours at Founders and Followers are particularly nice.

Denmark, you're killing me. The ever-amazing ArtRebels x Dansk Designskole x Københavns Kommune. Full article (in Engelsk!) here.

People I want to be #9,726,248: Hanna and Sofia of Byggstudio.

Discovered through Brian's post on pot plants.

When I was in Melbourne last year I fell in love with these cycling capes by The Vallentine Project. I made a note to look up the maker when I got home, but could never find any sort of website. Last week I stumbled on this video, but still no website! In one way it's nice that they are real-life-only and are not proliferated across the internet; but on the other hand, without an online contact point I seem to have no chance of ever enjoying them in real life.

Ines' photos of Denmark are so beautiful, it breaks my heart. Her flickr is well worth a look, if you have a moment.

Things are calming down a little now post-festival season, which is nice.

At the moment life is including all the usual things: Format, Renew, Brink (my day job) and also a new(ish) position as Associate Editor at FiveThousand. Hurrah!

I haven't always been forthcoming about my identity on here, although I'd expect that most of you have some idea of 'who I am'. In any case, I've now popped my email address up in the sidebar should you wish to contact me.

It's also not often that I acknowledge those of you who come here. From what I can tell it's a small but reasonably dedicated bunch! Thank you for reading and sharing. Your comments are always very much appreciated, and I particularly love finding new blogs through new commenters. Much love x
