250 Albums- An Arbitrary Rumble Through My Record Collection # 172 Laurie Anderson - Big Science

 


When I started collecting records when I was about seventeen I bought a lot of records latgely because I felt I ought to. Guided by The NME and my idea of the counnterculture. The person I was constructing. The person I wished to be. I don't think I even thought about it. As Richard Hell suggests I think we were all just lost in being young, 

I bought Big Science becuse I thought I should have it. Because O Superman was evrywhere. I haven't really listened to it until recently. It seems to be about alienation. How the rules we construct to describe the world we are in don't make much sense. I find it strangely calming.
