Cover Art by Mick Bailey

Kevin Byrd, photographer, designer, and art director based in Atlanta, has somehow found time in his busy schedule to put together a great compilation of music released quarterly since 2004! Each Chirp mixtape has a cover designed by one of his talented friends...i especially love the slow moving alligator featured on the cover of his Winter 2008 mix. Offering a broad selection of music from mostly independent artists, I look forward to checking out his new selections...its like the Chirp mix ushers in the changing seasons.

Download the new Fall 2008 mixtape here.

My favorite thing to do in New York City is hop on my bike and just ride through the city. It’s amazingly liberating to not be enclosed in a crowded subway or in a cab with a crazy driver on a mission to maim you. When you bike, you’re in the open and connected to the city. The whole experience can be made that much better if you had a Giant Metro Suede bike like this:

This is the sickest city cruiser you’ll ever own. With a virtually maintenance-free 3-speed automatic drivetrain by Shimano and a saddle with memory foam, you’ll be traveling in serious comfort and style.

So how do you get your hands on this baby? You can either fork up the $800 or you can enter our “Give Theme a Bike Tour of Your City” contest. It’s pretty easy and it’ll be tons of fun.
