Laurie Anderson - "Thinking of You"
Tomorrow, wake up an hour earlier than you did today. This should only take an hour, so once you've finished, you'll have wasted none of your regular day. Get out of bed immediately and do not dress. Eat a small piece of raw meat, any meat, coated in sugar. Just pat it in sugar and eat it. This will be your exact amount of energy needed. Get dressed in clothes you don't care about and leave your house. Find a crack in the sidewalk with a flower growing out of it. Near there should be a wall, climb it. At the top you should be able to see much farther than you could before. You're looking for public transport: buses, taxis, a sign for a subway, anything. The first one you see, go and catch it. Take it until it stops, if it's a taxi, hand over whatever money you have and say "take me this far". When you get out, talk to the first person you see, find out their name and where they are from. If you do not speak the same language, at least get a name. Now, use this name in some way, let it change your life. Tattoo it on your body, spray paint it on a wall, masturbate to it, write it on bread and ingest it. Anything to let transference take place. And once transference takes place, you may begin your day as usual, and awake awake awake. [Buy from Nonesuch]

There's so much ante meridiem in this Laurie Anderson song. Blame it on the violin!
