Kicking off here in New York, is the tenth annual Bicycle Film Festival. Brendt Barbur, the founding festival director, started the event after a bike accident in New York with hopes of turning his negative experience into a positive one. Celebrating the bike culture movement, the bash brings all two-wheelin’ enthusiasts together through the wonderful medium of art, music and film.

Free Gucci- Best of the Cold War Mixtapes presented by Diplo, is a mix soooooo good, we have zero shame in reporting news a trimester old. The epic head banger has got us playing it over the airport speakers consecutively since it’s release. With audible footprints from Salem, Memory Tapes, Zomby, Flying Lotus and more, these jams keep us jumpin’. What’s even better? The mixtape is free like air! Download it here and thank us later.

And that pretty much sums it up. Like America (the band) meeting Kraftwerk through the static that lies between two pirate radio stations, DJANGO DJANGO’s lush harmonies and bubbly synths are not the easiest things to define with lazy comparisons. With that being said, their myspace headline will have to do.

In our pornographic, disco-unicorn-fetish fantasies we actually are In Flagranti. All 9 of us clad in animal skin, powdered like donuts, and baying at a giant disco ball like a turgid pagan moon. But in reality, we have to put on the record and stare at the album cover just like everyone else. Not the worst thing ever, but if somehow we could trade it all in to live out our Never-Ending-Story-meets-Larry-Levan- in-a-pile-of-illicit-substances fantasy and still hold down a life, then you know…..we probably would. Til then, check out In Flagranti’s amazing albums and their covers out on Codek Records.

All bets are off in the “Best Way to Release a Swedish Pop Song” competition as your favorite summer band’s favorite summer band, jj, just applied a Balearic sheen to the Welcome Back Kotter theme song. The cover is packaged together with a dripping slo mo video of tennis stars in pre serve anticipation and available for free from the Tough Alliance’s Sincerely Yours website. Welcome back!

Here in WMIG land we have a massive, collective boner for everything that Acephale’ Records tells us we should be into, and in all reality, who can argue with Patrik North’s track record: SLU Records, Tough Alliance, he tipped us off on the hole Banjii girl scene that was happening in our own city, Salem and the list goes on and on. So, when the dude throws 2 videos your way that were created as companion pieces for Memory Cassettes newest E.P. you know you’ve got at least 12 minutes of solid Belearic entertainment.
