He is only good for an occasional >giggle and he makes Laurie Anderson sound Top 40. I must retract some of the statements I made in yesterdays posting. I had only listened to Giorno a little bit. I made the attempt and listened again last night and I am impressed. He has a very sharp and pointed wit that he uses well. He also knows how to use (or knows somebody who knows how to use) the technolgoy of his tape recorders etc... He can generate some extremely interesting sounds. Actually, looking at the album notes (see below) it is unclear exactly what a live performance is like. And how much of the tape is done in the studio. Still not a must listen yet, and not an often listen yet, but he is a serious listen. >The album (YtMIWtSMMW :-) is a double album. Laurie gets side 1, >William, side 2, John, side 3, and they all get side four. Yup, side 4, >is 3 concentric spirals, each about 5 minutes long.

The address of Giorno Poetry Systems Records is: Giorno Poetry Systems Institute 222 Bowery, New York, N.Y. 10012 USA The piece _For Electronic Dogs_ is the only one I missed in my last posting. It is very rhythmic and sharp with dogs (electronic??) barking in the background. Also note the reference to _Dark Dogs, American Dreams_, where did this come from? The narrator in this vignette is not LA, but an unidentified male. It is not "Paul from L.A." either. Has anyone seen other references to this album/piece/series/cookbook? "I'm waiting for help from above" pZ -- -- Laying here, Lyin' in bed.
