Religion About Snow
As if to distract from nightmares of Mayor Boris and his threatened empire of the senseless, this evening was spent at the Barbican in the company of the lovely Laurie Anderson. Homeland turns out to be her most concertesque perf for quite awhile, firmly structured as a sequence of songs, with accompanying musicians and everything, quite unlike her recent more anecdotal outings. It was also oddly folksy, in an avant-tech sort of way: Laurie taking the role of an electronica Joan Baez or something, which occasionally came over a bit faux naïf. Still, it was a fine evening, with some very brilliant, funny and powerful moments.
There's trouble out at the mine! There's trouble out at the mine!
There certainly is.
She's on here for two more days. If you have the chance, go.

Ach, missed her Carnegie Hall date when she was here some weeks back, and have kicked myself many times since. So glad you made it to the Barbican gig.
