I'm pretty sure she's on tour; she's playing LA in a few weeks.  Rolling
Stone magazine probably has the info.
Is there any word on the film of United States?  Or a new album?

Subject: Record Convention


I went to a record convention at Univ. of Maryland today, saw some neat
stuff.  the new thing is Kate i guess, since most people had katye
paraphanelia.  Doug's friends from the Record Convergence were there,
and I got a Robyn Hitchock 12" of Heaven for a couple of dollars. 

Good Things: Butthole Surfers on video !!! real hot stuff.
Also, some kate collectors were selling all the usual stuff, along with
a copy of Singles File for 50.00 (ho hum you say, but wait...). So like
I look at the singles file, not owning one myself.  The lady was
twlling me about the fact that there all numbered, and she opens
the book to show me the number and guess what number it was ??
No. 00001.  Amazing. The guy behind me offered 75.00 for it 
immediately. Except once the dealers saw the #, the freaked out and
weren't sure if they wanted to sell it.  The owner was very confused
and was still walking in circles when I left.  Guess you had to be there.

Also saw a 7" of "The Man who Invented Himself" by Robyn.  too much
for my budget though....

I'll save all my trite lamblasting of various people for later....

I saw Laurie Anderson at the Orpheum (not the Centrum, Doug) last
Friday (the 28th).  Wow.  She was originally scheduled for one show,
but they wound up adding another at 10:30 (which didn't start,
naturally, until 11:15).  It was really good.  Unfortunately, I've no
idea whether this is part of a tour or not.

 Is anyone there interested in the Northwest (you know: Washington, Oregon)
scene? It is a little bit wierd: e.g. Spokane country-western band (Bighorn)
moves to Seattle, changes name to Allies, makes a video, wins basement tapes
competetion on MTV (I'm in Love with Emma Peele), gets no contracts or even
offers, releases a nice EP which sells well locally but goes THUD nationally
and goes back to Spokane (where they can at least make the rent).

Subject: Re: Laurie Anderson Tour?

I just saw her in Berkeley Friday night.  According to the last
Rolling Stone (no, I don't normally read it, and yes, I think it's a
piece of junk), the tour is a very short one, covering only Boston,
Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago, Berkeley (RS says SF, but what
do they know ...), and Universal City.

The show was promoting her new concert movie (Home of the Brave), so
people who mixed the tour will probably have to be content with
watching the movie.

Subject: Song heard in a Dairy Queen on another planet

Last night I dreamed I was in a Dairy Queen on another planet.  And on
the radio was a new Laurie Anderson song.  And the lyrics were:

Attention shoppers.  You are in a store.  You are in a grocery store.
Remember this.  Remember.
And I looked.
And there were three boxes of Green Elephant breakfast cereal.
And the elephants were green.  And the box was blue.
And they said to me "We are the type.  And you are the token.
		     We are the type.  And you are the token."
And they were green.
And they were smoking big Cuban cigars.
And they were wearing big Cuban sports jackets.
And they said to me:
	Attention shoppers.
You are in a store.  You are in a grocery store.
Remember this.  Remember.
And I said: Oh,
Yeah.
Cuz: We are the type.  And you are the token.
Cuz: We are the type.  And you are the token.
Cuz: Love is a secretary.  And death is a waiter.
So, I got in the elevator and pushed L
Yeah, I pushed L.
Yeah.
