It was just two weeks ago that Laurie Anderson, Nonesuch Records, and Indaba Music announced a search for collaborators to remix Anderson's new song “Only an Expert,” from her upcoming June 22 Nonesuch release, Homeland, and already, the response has been great, with almost 1,000 entries so far.

Now, the competition is set to increase as the search passes its halfway point, and the May 13 cut-off date for entries approaches. It's then that the public at large takes control and starts the voting process to pick its favorite remixes. That's also when the jury of experts, including Anderson and Homeland producer Lou Reed, will review the submissions and make their pick. Indaba will announce all the winners at the end of the month. Learn more and enter today at indabamusic.com/remixla.

Now's also your chance to pre-order the CD/DVD of Homeland, Anderson's first studio album in ten years, along with an autographed copy of the 12" vinyl "Only an Expert" single. On the B-side is the non-album track "Pictures and Things," featuring Antony Hegarty. Reserve your copy now in the Nonesuch Store.

Audiences in the Bay Area will get a chance to experience Laurie Anderson live all next week, starting with a free conversation at Stanford University as part of the Art + Invention speaker series, followed by performances of her latest piece, Delusion, at Stanford's Memorial Auditorium and Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall.
