33) "The Mid-Morning Recording"     Laurie Anderson-'United States Live (Part 3)'
Last week we played the first part of United States Live by Laurie Anderson. This week we continue with part 3. This part features the well known piece "Big Science", which is even better live than on the studio album. Part 3 also features one of my favorite pieces by Laurie called "Yankee See". It seems to sum up a lot of the themes and production structure of the full United States Live performance in a long piece. "It Was Up In the Mountains" is also another favorite piece on this recording. These pieces really were influential for me in my field of sound and video production. Another reason of why I became such a fan of Laurie's work. The humor, and the creativity. "Well I was out in L.A. recently on music business, and I was just sitting there in the office filling them in on some of my goals
And I said: 'Listen, I've got a vision. I see myself as part of a long tradition of American humor. You know--Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Roadrunner, Yosemite Sam'
And they said; 'Well actually, we had something a little more adult in mind.'
And I said: 'OK! OK! Listen, I can adapt!'" - Michael MFL

29) "The Mid-Morning Recording"        Laurie Anderson-'United States Live (Part 2)'
Last week we played the first part of United States Live by Laurie Anderson. This week we continue with part 2. This part features what would be Laurie's most known piece and that is "O Superman (For Massenet)". A piece about the American Industrial Military Complex, and maybe the saddest part about listening to this piece at the present time, is that it is still quite relevant over 40 years later. Just as true then as it is now, the piece brings to light the psychological and financial struggles with American's place as the military "protector of the world". In her own words, "technology cannot save you". The piece gave Laurie recognition in the UK when John Peel was given the song by the One Ten Records owner B. (Bob) George. Peel played the song on his BBC One broadcasts, and the song would reach #2 on the UK singles chart. This part of the United States Live show also features the song "Let X=X" from her album 'Big Science'; another signature composition from her earlier works. I also found out this past week that Laurie premiered a Part V of United States in Manchester, UK of all places. Maybe that will be released soon. Maybe she'll tour it through her homeland. Parts 3 and 4 coming to you listeners soon. "So hold me, Mom, in your long arms. Your petrochemical arms. Your military arms. In your electronic arms. In your arms."
