5383 - O Superman


This is from a Laurie Anderson album from 1982 called Big Science. I thought to myself I should know her, from 1982. But I don't have a clue who she was. Her album is being rereleased. 


Interesting, right? Huh? Huh? Huh?

Nuh, nuh, nuh.

I'm crushed that Elephant's Child beat me to the comment I planned to make. Why on earth is this album being rereleased?

I lasted 40 seconds.

Interesting? I guess. But it was too hard to dance to.

I've never understood performance art or artists.

I used to hear this on the radio back in 1982 when I was in High School. I can remember sitting in my bedroom listening to it. I did not listen to standard radio but college radio because I liked alternative underground music. An original hipster I guess. She was also on Peter Gabriel's "SO" album.

Sue, Bill, Deb, Shaw, Kathy - So you're not going to buy the album?

Lady - You're the 14% (counting me) that has heard of her. That percentage could go down as the day goes on.

Somehow this manages to be creepy, boring and unintelligible all at once. I feel like I need to scrub out my brain with a stiff brush now :) Sorry for the negative review. So, how do you feel about it?

Jenny - Since it's 6 minutes, once it started and I got about a third of the way through it, I opened another window and let it run in the background. So I made it all the way through. I almost tried to find the lyrics to see what it was all about but decided not to.

That describes what you did but not how you feeeeeeel about it!

Jenny - Ambivalent to the max.
