Amelia

You wait ages for an album about Amelia Earhart and then two come along at once. The new album from Public Service Broadcasting: "The Last Flight"  comes out in early October and some tracks are already out. I'm looking forward to seeing some of them being played at the end of October. Meanwhile Laurie Anderson has released her own version of that last flight and it's very different to the PSB one, and excellent. It's the usual mix of recordings, sound and vocal effects and electronic music, and is a lot more accessible than some of Laurie Anderson's work. Available on the usual streaming services.

Laurie Anderson and the City

Laurie Anderson's series of Norton Lectures are up online. They are dense and packed with images and ideas. Here's the one one on 'The City' - each one is based on a theme, and all are available to view again on YouTube. Plenty of idea here to delve into with each one.
