Laurie Anderson has returned home to New York City following a final tour stop performing music from Homeland, her latest Nonesuch album, at The Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia. Anderson will be signing copies of the new CD at New York's Other Music record store tonight. The free event, originally scheduled for 6 PM, is now slated to begin at 8 PM.

Newly added to tonight's event is a special performance from Fenway Bergamot, Anderson's male alter ego, who is featured on the cover of Homeland and can be heard on the album track "Another Day in America." Bergamot can also be seen in a series of videos at nonesuch.com/media, offering his unique perspective on various social issues of the day. Tonight will also include a raffle for a pair of tickets to the Opening Night of Anderson's Delusion performances at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) for the Next Wave Festival, September 21.

Anderson recently spoke with VenusZine about Homeland and the many project to which she has dedicated herself of late. This "workaholic" has "carved out a reputation as one of the world’s most important multimedia artists," writes VenusZine writer Christopher Matthew Jensen. "To call her a legend is to understate the obvious. For over three decades now, Anderson has been a hyper-creative force of productivity—at the forefront of the avant-garde and just behind the curtain for countless pop culture developments."

Jensen goes on to explain that, "Like much of Anderson’s previous work, the music on Homeland is an unable to be categorized pastiche of countless sounds and styles ... Although the album ebbs smoothly, almost like a film score, the song construction is far more complicated than a casual listen would suggest."

    The Library of Congress has acquired the collection of manuscripts, instruments, costumes, video and audio recordings, and more from Kronos Quartet and its non-profit organization, Kronos Performing Arts Association. “It’s gratifying to know that Kronos’ legacy will be preserved in perpetuity alongside the manuscripts and other treasures of so many other influential musicians from the US and around the world," said KPAA Executive Director Janet Cowperthwaite. "We are perhaps even more excited to reflect upon all the musicians and scholars who will have access to these materials in years to come, informing their own work and carrying Kronos’ inspiration and influence into the future.” The Library also appointed Kronos founder, artistic director, and violinist David Harrington as the Kluge Chair in Modern Culture and inducted Kronos’ 1992 album Pieces of Africa into the National Recording Registry.
