This record meant the world to me at 14 and still does at 46.
To this day, when I meet a German-speaker, I'm "oh, I know a little German... Beispiele paranormale Tonbandstimmen."
Almost impossible to choose. Sod it, Sweaters.

I'm a big fan of "Langue D'Amour" off Mr. Heartbreak.
And this is not a story my people tell.It is something I know myself.And when I do my job, I am thinking about these things.Because when I do my job, that is what I think about.
As I think dlh was saying upthread, there's something tremendously comforting about listening to her, even when the subject matter is dark/unnerving/tragic. I don't think it's just the teacher-voice, it's something like: this person has put a lot of consideration into what she is doing, she is telling me these stories for a reason, and she has absolute faith that I will get something worthwhile out of them. There's this consistent feeling of having a really reliable and experienced person in your corner. I don't know, maybe this just means she's the platonic ideal of a teacher.

I'm already down for ballot polls on Bjork and Badu, otherwise I'd volunteer for a Laurie Anderson one.

No votes for "Walking And Falling"? Ah well, the US Live version is far superior anyway.

This is one of those albums that I keep meaning to eventually get around to listening to. 'O Superman' is brilliant, of course.

i was living out in west hollywoodwhen the hollywood strangler was strangling women.every nightthere was a panel discussion on tv about the strangler:speculations about his habits,his motives,his methods.one thing was clear about him:he only strangled women when they were alone.(or with other women.)and the panel members would always end the show by saying:now for all you women.listen.don't go outside without a man.don't walk out to your car.don't even take the garbage out by yourself.always go with a man.then, one of the eyewitnessesidentified a policeman as one of the suspects.the next night, the chief of police was on the panel.and he said:now for all you women.whatever happens,do not stop for a police officer.stay in your car.if a police officer tries to stop you, do not stop.keep driving.and under no circumstancesshould you get out of your car.for a few weekshalf the traffic in l.a.was doing twicethe speed limit.

Mr. Reed hovers in the background of the two works Ms. Anderson has brought to New York City this month: the film “Heart of a Dog,” opening Wednesday, Oct. 21, and an installation work, “Habeas Corpus,” at the Park Avenue Armory on Oct. 2-4. In “Heart of a Dog,” Ms. Anderson quotes David Foster Wallace: “Every love story is a ghost story.”
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 20 October 2015 22:50 (eight years ago) link
Along with her own work, she has a legacy to tend: 800 hours of Mr. Reed’s old recordings, which she wants to make available online, as well as unpublished plays and photographs.

If I had to keep one Anderson track it might be "the dream before" from strange angels, the Benjamin paraphrase with the male vocal coming in is just... every time
