Dear Steve,
I just ran across some music by an electronic music pioneer that I never heard of but you may well be familiar with. I have been interested in electronic music since I was a kid listening to Walter Carlos (Wendy Carlos) starting in 1971. I saw Laurie Anderson in 1977 and Tangerine Dream at the Warfield in SF back in 1980. I have other pursuits which I dedicated myself to so I have never researched electronic music, I just enjoy the stuff I have run across. Your show has been a great resource for me. I can’t believe I have never heard of Laurie Spiegel. Slate magazine just did a piece on her relating to a song of hers being used for Hunger Games.

This led me to a track called Patchwork from her 1980 album “the Expanding Universe”.
Wow, this is great. I wonder if you could do a show, or part of a show, featuring her work.
