Merrill Garbus (Tune-Yards) Talks with Laurie Anderson for The Talkhouse Music Podcast

In the new Talkhouse Music Podcast, iconic performance artist Laurie Anderson talks with Merrill Garbus of Tune-Yards

On the latest episode of The Talkhouse Music Podcast, Merrill Garbus from Tune-Yards talks with the iconic performance artist and musician Laurie Anderson.  By turns funny and poignant, and always insightful, the conversation between these two creative powerhouses ranges from coping with sudden fame, "the art police," the healing power of puppetry, their love/hate relationship with technology, the aesthetics of bubble gum, dehydrated kale bars and… hotel hotdogs.
