Laurie Anderson Is Appearing On East Village Radio At 4 P.M.
Of all the people I interviewed in 2010, Laurie Anderson was easily my favorite, based entirely on that voice -- even snaking through a phone line, it's a wise, warm, profoundly soothing phenomenon, Kim Deal-esque in its capacity to soothe even the most savage of beasts, and put to equally phenomenal effect on this year's Homeland, an avant-pop exploration of death, decay, and financial devastation that nonetheless leaves you feeling bizarrely cheerful. In the event you're a bit keyed up with pre-holiday jitters today, I suggest you turn into East Village Radio right now. ![]()
She'll be chatting with the inimitable Andrew Andrew, you see, perhaps about her Neptune Parade Queen crown, or the Grammy nomination Homeland garnered her, or . . . well, it doesn't matter, really. She could recite the list of things you have to do between today and Christmas and still somehow calm you down. We'll see you over there.
