    • 1 There’s not much we like more than the subversive, dirty-ish, Canadian pop-marvel Mac DeMarco. This week he released two new tracks from his upcoming album Old Dog Today, and a tasty tour announcement for the US and Europe, listen up here.
    • 2 Ai Weiwei and Olafur Eliasson have created a space for imagination: turn nothing into something—make a drawing, make a mark. Look at other people’s work and share your own with the world. Celebrate how creativity transcends borders at moonmoonmoonmoon.com.
    • 3 The tech sector has proposed a Tinder for cities: this article from The Guardian explains how new wave digital tools are making the process of urban development transparent and interactive.
    • 4 Cashmere Radio is a Berlin based not-for-profit broadcaster whose aim is to preserve and further the art of radio by experimenting with the medium: they are both an online and physical station. Celebrate radio as a social and performative space with them by streaming here.
    • 5 Head to youarelistening.to for the ambient music and LAPD radio—live streamed from cities around the US.
