LAURIE ANDERSON - GRAVITY'S ANGEL

She's so young and pretty in thiis vid! :)

20 years ago I thought Mr Heartbreak was the most futuristic music I ever heard, I think the same thing today. No one can touch her in vision!

Hey, that's Adrian! Adrian BELEW! Wow.

The album Mr. Heartbreak is 20 years ahead of NOW! In 1984 it was predicting the future. Genius.

An exceptionally QUALIFIED and interesting music (jazz-rock?).

First time i see this performed live. Home of the Brave reminds me of autumn '84, except: "and at his funeral all his friends stood around looking sad.
but they were really thinking of all the ham and cheese sandwiches....".
That line popped up after a friends funeral, while the ham & cheese sandwiches were served.
My thoughts at the funeral were about decay.

Right on Loopjump-
I've used the "sandwiches" line many a time since 1984- and made the windows SHAKE with the percussion on this piece. FOND memories of Madison, Wisconsin, roommates, parties...

Disagree. She could easily have contoured whatever impulse she had to want to make music into something that would be equally comprehensible and incomprehensible to whatever generation.

i love how he whacks the plywood

I remember this LP coming out many years ago around christmas time. A friend and I played it over and over and over all christmas day. One of those desert island moments....................... .....
