And, two days later, while the cities of New Orleans, Rio, Venice, and their ilk are reaching the heights of the fevered rites of Carnival, the rest of the U.S. is focused on Super Tuesday – featuring the most significant number of primaries prior to the presidential election in November.

No one knew quite what to make of Laurie Anderson's ethereal thingamabob, Big Science, back in the early 1980s, but they liked what they heard, and this weirdly atmospheric track became a most unexpected hit.

Laurie Anderson has a new, better website ...and with this comes three announcements, with decreasing specificity:- Big Science (my favorite album ever, and the subject of my very first MOG post) to be issued in a remastered and expanded edition in June, including "rarities, remixes and never before heard tracks."- A new album called Homeland to be released in early '08, accompanied by a tour (...

Laurie Anderson has the sort of voice that captures your attention. Not because it is loud and forceful, but it has that tone of a flight attendant at times, and it makes you think that maybe you should pay attention. Laurie and a trio of musicians performed her new work, Homeland, at the Sydney Opera House on Sunday to an attentive and appreciative audience of fans. We were all covered in that...

"In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or...

While I don't really know Laurie Anderson personally, I feel I have a tenuous connection with her. We both love Lou Reed and share a birthday.June 5, 1969 is the day I started dying.Gotta say, so far it's been a good run but I have some complaints. My knees, they haven't worked right since the Navy. My eyesight, it's getting to near legendary badness and being born colorblind (thanks Pappy) doe...

Today (June 5, 1969) is my 38th birthday. My first with MOG. I must say it has been good a good birthday so far, but the day is young. My kids got me a membership the "Lehigh Valley Amateur Astronomical Society":http://www.lvaas.net/. I know, I know the first thought you had after seeing that is "GEEEEK". Well you are right, but the coolest thing about membership is access to some super cool te...
