I’ll be in Manchester tomorrow doing a psychogeographical walk – The Manchester Freedom Trail as part of the Loiterers Resistance Movement Get Lost festival and attending the TRIP conference. If you’re in Manchester please join me.
A quick word about Bloomsday, it all went really well with a lot of walks created all over the world, I owe a big thank you to all the people who took part and made it such a big success. I’ll write about it in more detail when I get all the information about what happened where. I was fortunate enough to spend Bloomsday in Berlin where I did a fantastic Joycewalk full of improbable coincidence – I’ll upload the documentation as soon as I can on my return.
It’s Bloomsday and 1000 Joyce Walks the project which lets you re-enact Bloomsday where-ever you are. We have walks in over 25 cities around the world already planned but it’s not too late to join in and celebrate Bloomsday in the psychogeographical way. Click here for more details.
Tomorrow is Bloomsday and 1000 Joyce Walks. There’s been a huge interest and we’ve got walks planned all over the world, from Berlin to Boston, Marakesh to Montevideo and everywhere in between. It’s shaping up to be a great day.
There’s still time to join in and do a walk tomorrow go to the Joyce Walks site and create your own walk where ever you’ll be tomorrow.
There are only six days left to Bloomsday and the 1000 Joyce Walks psychogeography project. Sign up now to participate.
The big question for Radiohead, more pictures on my flickr page
Nothing like some music tickets to make you feel summers almost here, kicking off with Radiohead this Saturday, July sees Tom Waits in Paris and, though I don’t normally do the reunion tour thing, My Bloody Valentine also in Paris. I never saw MBV first time around (though I did grow up on the same street as Kevin Shields) but I’m a bit of a Loveless nut, you’ve got to love the back story it’s got it all arrogance, obsession, insanity and reclusiveness and finally reunion – pure rock n roll.
In keeping with my new academic bent a few academic references: From The Journal of Music and Meaning Torben Sangild, Noise – Three Musical Gestures Expressionist, Introvert and Minimal Noise and a Masters in Music Thesis on Loveless.
