I asked Tron-Sectorites about a particular song some time within the past year or so, but I couldn't adequately describe it. Nobody knew what song I was talking about. Someone said they thought my description sounded familiar and they wanted me to let them know if I ever found out, but I can't remember who asked that; and I looked through 75 pages of page threads in "Other Sector" to find my original thread, but couldn't find it.

To refresh memories: I had heard it on Yahoo's Launchcast Radio. I listened to all 8 minutes of it while drawing or something, so I didn't pay much attention to it. The only thing I thought while it was playing was, "Hmm, this is kinda weird... and kinda lame." But I was going by today's standards when I heard it. I was assuming it was made within the past 5 or 10 years. But then I tried to catch the song details right at the very end of the song, but missed everything except that it was made in 1981!! I was like, "Whoa! 1981?? Okay, that was still a strange song, but now I kind've like it" I had some respect for it. I thought about how oriignal it might've been back in 1982 and immediately wanted to hear it again. But alas. I didn't know who did it or what song it was. So I was left saddened for a year. (Okay, saddened is a bit exaggerating, but you know what I mean.)

Well, I have finally solved the mystery. I heard the artist again on Launchcast Radio today and did a search and found out the song I heard back then was "O Superman" by Laurie Anderson!! So I then Youtubed it, and thought some of you might find this song rather mesmerizing, as I do now. Something about it just makes me go into a state of peace; similar to what Tron the movie does to me.

So, check it out. And remember it was 1981:

"Let X=X" is the song I just heard tonight by her. It's weird, but not as weird. On Amazon.com, you can hear previews. The only other songs from the album I might possible like are "Let X=X" and "It Tango", but not as much as "O Superman": http://www.amazon.com/Big-Science-Laurie-Anderson/dp/B000002KNM/sr=8-1/qid=1163920526/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-5257214-5544756?ie=UTF8&s=musicwhere to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

Yeah, i didn't care much for the video either... and I think it would probably put some people off who might otherwise give the song a better chance on its own if it were just played to them while in a relaxing, non-judgmental mode and realized it was from 1981.

Leave it to Laurie Anderson to do some really trippy stuff. But I actually enjoyed both the song and the video. You just have to come into it expecting it to be weird, and then you'll be pleased at what you find.

My sincerest apologies, Tori.

Not!

There's nothing wrong with getting a little "Let X=X" stuck in your head!
