Nat King Tron

Posted on January 9th, 2006 in peripherals and

Dude, we finally got the band back together. It’s been a long hiatus, but it’s true. Presenting Nat King Tron, a rock-based improv quartet featuring myself on drums, Matt Lee on amplified saxophone, John Schlicter on guitar, and Andrew Tomasulo on drums and madman vocals. We’ll be playing or debut gig tomorrow night, January 10, 8pm at the Khyber in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia to Paris to Madrid to Plasencia to Sevilla to Granada…

There´s absolutely no reason why we shouldn´t want to stay here indefinitely. It´s amazing.

Nick Brown (UIUC Art + Design graduate student and resident “artist-who-walks-with-long-stride”) continues to document his artistic practice and research at walkinginplace.org which features several projects, texts, and resources. Nick’s site was recently reviewed on glowlab, a site focused around theme of psychogeography. Also, Nick has recently posted a bibliography of selected texts on the practice of walking in his blog.

walking blog

Posted on May 23rd, 2003 in peripherals and

I found this walking blog. the most recent entry is this:

Hoje um japa, meio coreano, estava tendo “piti” dentro do ônibus…ouvindo walkman e fazendo comentários em alto e bom som…detalhe é que ele estava sozinho…e mais detalhe é que eu nunca tinha visto um japonero doido…hehe Pri às 10:17 AM

(translation: One japa, today half korean, was having “piti” inside of the bus… hearing walkman and making commentaries in high and good sound… detail is that it was alone… and more detail is that I never had seen one japonero crazy… hehe Pri to the 10:17 AM)

sounds about right…
