  5. Hey look! Over there!
    It's Frank Sinatra
    Sitting in a chair.
    And he's blowing
    Perfect smoke rings
    Up into the air.
    And he's singing: Smoke makes a staircase for you To descend.
    So rare.
    Ah desire! Ah desire! Ah desire!
    So random
    So rare
    And everytime
    I see those smoke rings
    I think you're there.
    Que es mas macho staircase o smoke rings?

  6. Paradise
    Is exactly like
    Where you are right now
    Only much much better.

  7. When my father died we put him in the ground
    When my father died it was like a whole library
    had burned down.
    World without end remember me.

  8. Last night I dreamed I died and that my life had
    been rearranged into some kind of theme park.
    And all my friends were walking up and down the boardwalk.
    And my dead grandmother was selling
    cotton candy out of a little shack.

  9. "Paradise
    is exactly like
    Where you are right now

    only much
    much
    .. better"

  10. Released today 44 years ago:

    🇺🇸 Laurie Anderson "Big Science" – 1982

    Merges avant-garde composition, spoken word, and electronic minimalism which creates a detached, almost clinical atmosphere. Anderson is narrative-driven, turning everyday observations into reflections on technology, communication, and modern life...

  11. "and when Justice is gone, there's always force" sings Laurie Anderson in her seminal 'O Superman' just on the radio now....

  12. I met this guy - and he looked like he might have
    been a hat check clerk at an ice rink.
    Which, in fact, he turned out to be.
    And I said:
    Oh boy. Right again.

    #LaurieAnderson #lyrics #bot

  13. The sun is shining slowly
    The birds are flying so low.
    Honey you're my one and only,
    So pay my what you owe me.

    #LaurieAnderson #lyrics #bot

  14. The devastatingly beautiful closing lines of O Superman (For Massenet) seem even more terrifyingly devastating given the current incarnation of the military-industrial-cryptobro complex.

    So hold me, Mom
    In your long arms
    Your petrochemical arms
    Your military arms
    In your electronic arms
    Ah, ah, ah, ah

  20. The only thing that binds me to the turning world below
    and all the people and noise and sounds and shouts.
    This tightrope made of sound
    This long thin line made of my own blood.
    Remember me is all I ask.
    And if remembered be a task forget me.

    #LaurieAnderson #lyrics #bot

  21. "'Cause when love is gone
    There's always justice
    And when justice is gone
    There's always force
    And when force is gone
    There's always Mom
    Hi, Mom

    So hold me, Mom
    In your long arms
    So hold me, Mom
    In your long arms
    In your automatic arms
    Your electronic arms
    In your arms
    So hold me, Mom
    In your long arms
    Your petrochemical arms
    Your military arms
    In your electronic arms"

    O Superman (For Massenet)

  22. good evening friends it's been an eventful week in chilitown. Lots of new music to catch up on!

    For starters, here's a *new* version of Let X=X, performed live with NYC avant garde jazz weirdos Sexmob. Very cool! I wonder if an album is forthcoming?

  23. And the little girls sing: Ooooeee. Sharkey!
    He's Mister Heartbreak. They sing: Oooeee. That Sharkey!
    He's a slow dance on the edge of the lake. He's a whole landscape
    gone to seed. He's gone wild! He's screeching tires
    on an oil slick at midnight on the road to Boston a long time ago.
    And Sharkey says: Lights! Camera! Action! TIMBER!

  24. I got your letter. Thanks a lot.
    I've been getting lots of sun. And lots of rest. It's really hot.
    Always used to wonder who I'd bring to a desert island.
    Days, I remember rooms. Nights, I swim in the blue lagoon.

  25. For no reason I can think of this has been playing in my head.

    Maybe it's just a reminder of me getting old (it's over 40 years since it was released).

    Maybe it's the lines
    Cause when love is gone, there's always justice,
    And when justice is gone, there's always force
    And when force is gone, there's always Mom

    Or the American planes

    Or the long petrochemical, military, electronic arms.

  26. LAURIE ANDERSON
    O Superman
    1981 U.S. 7” single @ 33rpm

    One of the most inventive, unlikely, baffling, and MOVING “hit” singles of all time.

    Just two alternating chords using an Eventide Harmonizer and a Roland VP-330 vocoder, the song was broken and championed by the great John Peel on BBC RADIO 1.

    Lyrically, it’s mind bending, and many people, including Anderson herself, has said it’s about many things.

    I’m not particularly interested in any of that. Just that when I hear it (still to this day), it strikes such an inexplicable emotional nerve in me that I can’t explain.
    It’s a remarkable piece of art.

    Perhaps Anderson summed it up best.
    “Technology cannot save you.”

  27. Here's a man who lives a life of danger.
    Everywhere he goes he stays - a stranger.
    Howdy stranger. Mind if I smoke? And he said:
    Every man, every man for himself.
    Every man, every man for himself.
    All in favor say aye.

    #LaurieAnderson #lyrics #bot

  28. Coo coo it's cold outside.
    Coo coo it's cold outside.
    Ooo coo coo.
    Don't forget your mittens.

    #LaurieAnderson #lyrics #bot

  29. I'll never forget it, we had a fight.
    Then you turned around turned on the light. You left our bed.
    Then you moved downstairs to live with her instead.
    Yeah just one floor and a shout away.
    I guess I should have moved but I decided to stay.
    Did I drink some poison that I don't remember now?

    #LaurieAnderson #lyrics #bot

  30. And you? You're no one
    And you? You're falling
    And you? You're travelling
    Travelling at the speed of light.

    William S. Burroughs delivering his keynote address on December 1st, the first night at New York City’s Entermedia Theatre, during the sold-out, three-day Nova Convention, held on November 30, December 1, and 2, 1978.

    In this the legendary 1978 Nova Convention, we hear interviews with organizer/poet John Giorno, followed by the uncut Nova Convention panel discussion unheard for decades. Moderator Les Levine masterfully guides panelists William S. Burroughs, Robert Anton Wilson, Timothy Leary and Brion Gysin. Listen to them re-imagining science fiction and foreseeing a culture yet to come.

    The Nova Convention was a three-day event, taking place in New York City on November 30, December 1 and December 2, 1978. Intended as a homage to William S. Burroughs, the “convention” included seminars, music performances, readings and more. Attending were an odd mixture of academics, publishers, writers, artists, punk rockers and counterculture disciples. The event had a small hitch. The organizers had announced Keith Richards’ attendance, which made the event a sellout. Richards’ last minute cancellation, however, gave the event an antagonistic oscillation between performer and audience.

    The series was originally produced by Giorno Poetry Systems for WBAI radio. The 2013 restoration comes from John Giorno’s private tapes. The effort is to restore, as completely as possible, the entire three-day event for for broadcast by the Clocktower Gallery radio station: https://clocktower.org/show/nova-convention-1978-the-third-mind
