Lou & Laurie are barking

Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson have collaborated on a new unusual project: a concert for dogs

Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson have collaborated on a new unusual project: a concert for dogs. Inspired by their own terrier Lollabelle, the canine-friendly gig consists of ultra-high-pitched noises largely inaudible to humans. The husband and wife are curators of the Vivid Live festival in Sydney, where the 20-minute-long Music for Dogswill premiere next month. http://vividlive.sydneyoperahouse.com
