Longtime avant-garde artist Laurie Anderson appeared on Late Night with Letterman this week, bringing with her the single “Only an Expert” from her latest album, Homeland. Always the provocateur, Anderson added a particularly relevant and incendiary verse regarding the BP Gulf oil spill. Letterman’s show has been home to a couple of bizarre performances this week, this being one of them. Watch the video after the jump:
Homeland is currently available via Nonesuch Records. You can pick up the 12″ single for “Only an Expert” at the Nonesuch store.
