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.

Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories.
-- Laurie Anderson
"...and when the Justice is gone, there's always force..."
from the lyrics of 'O Superman' by the ever prescient Laurie Anderson, just on the 6 Music now.
She's not condoning violence or 'superheros' btw, quite the opposite, just saying that without Justice people will take matters in their own hands.
Sadly 40 years of blatant corruption from every angle followed and now look at America.

And then I'm going to draw a flat tire on the jalopy and then I'm going to draw the whole jalopy in X-ray to show that you've got no gas
"O Superman" is such a weird song. "Big Science" was kind of a weird album. And then my brother got the 4-LP set of "United States Live", and I became kind of obsessed with it for a few years.
If I could go back in time to one concert in history, I think I'd go see the original performance of "United States". Because there's visuals that don't come through on record.

You’re one of my favorites, you make me smile at least once a day, and I’m pretty sure you do that for all who are lucky enough to cross your path.
Happy Birthday!

I've now listened to Laurie Anderson's new record "Amelia" four times since it came out yesterday. I had complained that it was 22 very short tracks, but really, it's not: it's one 33 minute piece of music, with 22 short-ish themes. I actually love it. The music is beautiful, and Laurie's voice is just as great as it's always been.
AOTY alert: Okay the new Laurie Anderson is super duper cool. It has 22 tracks but it is really one piece, they all flow into the next. And it’s more of a performance/spoken word piece with an orchestra/string trio playing in the background. And Anohni doing some singing echoes every once in a while from side stage. And a special guest appearance from Amelia Earhart herself. Love it.
Love love love Laurie Anderson; this is a lovely interview.

Speaking of Laurie Anderson, here's a remix (i.e., complete deconstruction) of "Big Science" by Arca.

New Laurie Anderson album is coming end of August, and Anohni is listed in the Bandcamp credits for vocals! Only one teeny tiny song up so far.
Happy birthday Laurie Anderson!

This is my Sharkey #introduction 
You can call me Dane.
I started out on the fediverse arooooound...I wanna say 2017/18 mebbe? My big start in social media was MySpace. Before that, I had a LiveJournal (which I miss mightily with all my heart). My very first computer was a Gateway PC, back when they shipped them to you in those awesome cow spot pattern boxes. I am trying to de-google my life.
I'm #ADHD and suffer from #dysthymia. I'm currently unmedicated. I can be damned moody at times, so there's your warning.
Religiously/spiritually speaking, I'm complicated. That will be a long post, when I get around to writing it. My general rule is: I have my thing. It's not everybody's thing, and that's cool. Not everybody's thing is my thing, and that's cool. Just don't be a wanker towards those whose thing ain't your thing. OM 
I'm 57 years old and have come to the conclusion that we never truly appreciate the decades we grew up in until we hit middle age.
I'm single and childless, hence my user tag: TheLastOfHisName.
And now, a hefty list of hashtags....
