Art as music and Laurie Anderson
I have been listening to the new and innovative Laurie Anderson CD/Album/Digital Download (what are we supposed to call these now?) titled Homeland. It is a fascinating collection of songs— inventive, witty and intelligent music and lyrics that deal with many aspects of the current state of our nation. I find it one of the most interesting albums to come out since Radiohead's In Rainbows and Portishead's 3. It's her first studio album in 10 years and I hope Homeland gets the acclaim those albums did. There is an NPR interview here and a way to listen to the album for free.
I also like that she once did a concert for several thousand dogs.
