Laurie Anderson will be at the Palladium in NYC on May 27.  Her latest
release (and first solo album) is called "Big Science", a super record.
It includes the single "O Superman", which was released about 2 months
ago, and "Let X=X", which was released as an insert in Art Forum magazine
last month.  She has also done a record with William S. Burroughs, and
John Girorno, called "You're the Guy I Want to Spend My Money With".
Her lyrics are often amusing and satirical, and the music is quite inter-
esting.  It's hard to classify; perhaps "electronic minimalist" might
give some idea.  Is anyone familiar with her stuff?  I'd be interested
in hearing others' opinions; I'm obviously excited about it.
