nedcaster (a.k.a. mr. lazy) lets nick out of his cage again for forty minutes of audacity effects, false starts, meaningful interviews, and music.

in this episode:

1. what it takes to coach marathon runners

2. why we should stop eating “food” and start eating food (notice the lack of quotation marks)

3. love music from lincoln money shot (no website, just google them or sumthin’)

4. why preservation of art is important, even in neighborhoods as supposedly useless as glen park in san francisco

5. a lot of gags and incidental music

ENJOY!!!!

My journey this year has been amazing and I am feeling like this next performance is a reflection of my personal life...leaving corporate america for the artist's life was a huge step I do not regret, but as I began to fervently pursue my dance career (performance & teaching) the darts of distraction have been flying. Struggles, trials and successes sums it up - oh!?

...sounds interesting...

The Sound of Failure 2008
Sound art festival
(Sydney, Australia)

Bookings: http://factorytheatre.com.au
Website: http://SoundOfFailure.com

Following on from the (ironic) success of last year's festival, Sound
of Failure 2008 brings together over forty local and international
sound artists in numerous venues to surprise, shock and entertain.
Many of these artists have attempted to transcend the small
rectangular screens and the latest Microsoft releases, opting instead
to look at unintended consequences of technology – when it misbehaves
or just gives up the ghost.

Internationally renowned torturers of electronic toys, Toydeath, will
unleash their circuit bent mayhem on the Factory Theatre along with 15

What do you think happens when a group of artists are taken out of their comfort zone and given a kit of unfamiliar materials? The Art of Thought, a concept from artist Kim Abeles, answers this question. First employed by giving artists a kit of identical materials, each artist ventured down a different creative path. This tradition is being re-introduced while moving the concept forward with all new artists and all new base materials. For more information please go to http://web.mac.com/breagallery/Site/Current_Exhibition.html

The opening reception will be on August 9th from 7-9. There is no cover charge and we will be serving hors d'ouvres. Hope to see you then!

Art has to fight, otherwise it is nothing than a piece of furniture.
