We could write something pithy here about how much artist and copyeditor Guillaume BlanchetI must love the sensation of, erm, perpetual motion, but we won’t. Instead we’ll let him tell you what motivated his recent feat of endurance: ‘I love being on a bike. It helps me feel free. After 382 days spent riding through the streets of Montreal, being sometimes quite cold, sometimes quite hot, and sometimes quite scared, I dedicate this movie to you, Yves Blanchet’.

So for American-born, Paris-based sister duo CocoRosie, who released their third album The Adventure of Ghosthouse and Stillborn to much acclaim, making the trip to their beginnings is more than worth the journey: their debut album, Le Maison de Mon Reve (released back in 2004) was a gentle stroll through their pop and classical influences, which melt together seamlessly into a backdrop for their unique and enchanting voices.

This odd, atmospheric animation by web artists Aaron Russ Clinger and Miltos Manetas is simple but effective, a finely rendered piece of interactive art. There are some pretty crazy things you can make the floating man do if you play around with this long enough.
I don’t know a lot about The Sugars but I like what they do. Their sound is quite rockabilly but quite modern — like White Stripes. They put out a couple of indie singles and I’d really like to find some time to work with them.
