Laurie Anderson was on BBC Two's Newsnight to talk with Kirsty Wark about her 1982 debut album, Big Science, which Nonesuch is releasing on red vinyl next month, and more. "The themes in it—the ideas of transportation, politics, money, love—in a sense, they're universal," says Wark. "I suppose they work for every generation." "I was really happy when they decided to put that out again," Anderson says. "When I listened to it, it sounded pretty much like now." You can watch their conversation here.
