At NXNW in this year Toronto I discovered one of my new favorite bands: Matt and Kim

they played a short but amazing, not to mention crammed and sweaty, set at Wrongbar on Friday night. 

I haven't stopped listening to their music since. It's great for a sunny day and even better live. Matt and Kim have the best on-stage energy I've ever seen!

Here's a photo of them taken from Milestang

Beautiful summer images from Tender Letters 

I discovered a very sexy, very summery site yesterday called Senseless Acts of Beauty 

That's where I found these images. It's just my way of prodding the hot weather in.
