Radiohead: Amnesiac

[peacocks]

OK.  One summer 3 years ago when I first started reading LPTJ I came across a great song by song review of Radiohead's Amnesiac.  I think about it every time I listen to the album.  I want to read it again and most of all I want to show it to my friend who is crazygonuts about radiohead and is currently on a fast until the new album comes out. 

It would be nice if it were still in the cool format it was in back then but I'm not going to hold my breath.  I've done a search on google and on LPTJ itself and cannot find it.  Does anyone know what I'm talking about?  Am I losing my mind?

thanks,
k.ballew

There exists such an article, though its whereabouts are concealed by the cloak of time

[nickel.wound]

That series of articles was actually the way I found LPTJ - hope someone can post a link if it still exists. It was really great to listen song by song and read the pieces.

well, i hate to say it, but since nothing but the main page and the forum page work on this site anymore, you can't see it. let me see if i can find it on archive.org.

in fact, i can:

part 1
part 2
part 3
part 4
part 5
part 6
part 7
part 8
part 9
part 10

y'all know me, I'm always very slow to care about old stuff 'n' stuff, but here's a proper link to the archives going back to 2004:

thanks john. by the way, i'm not trying to yell at you or anything--it's your site, you should do what you want with it.

[peacocks]

yay!  everybody rules! 

[mrwednesday]

I love this article.
and the Fugazi one.
and the Lifter Puller one.
I remember reading the Amnesiac one shortly after listening to it a couple times. I was sitting in a computer tech class as a Junior in High School. I ate the whole thing up.

[C of heartbreak]

Man, the Lifter Puller one is probably my favorite.

[Animal Planet]

The Eyehategod trilogy was especially nice. I found all those old articles somewhere the other day, so they do exist on the internet somewhere.

[Good Intentions]

The Eyehategod articles are directly responsible for me discovering this fucking amazing band and all the great times I've spent with their music. The Dopesick review in particular slays innocents left and right, though I agree with our host that Confederacy of Ruined Lives is where it's at.

John's various LPTJ articles have impressed me for some time, it's why I'm here.

trivial aside: the first graf here: http://www.lastplanetojakarta.com/articles/eye.html
isn't a poetic fancy as you might imagine but a pretty direct description of my living circumstances when I first moved to Portland

it gave me a good laugh this morning it did

[John]

hahaha reading on: also the second page

[Animal Planet]

Haha yeah I remember reading that and thinking there is no way he made up such specific, absurd conditions - not that I doubt your "poetic fancy".  When I first read that article I was trying to get my shit together a little bit and was in the process of becoming a lot less cool. It sounds like maybe you held on a little longer than me.

Also, when I saw ehg live the singer's skin literally looked green and he acted like by being at the show we were interrupting a practice or something and he was really pissed about it.

[Bernard]

Sorry, where's the one on Hunting Bears?

[Andrew_TSKS]

it's included in the one about "dollars and cents".

[Bernard]

Oh, I missed that one too - thanks, A.

[Andrew_TSKS]

no problem. for the record, i noticed that archive.org doesn't have every page of every article, but if you just go to the actual urls, they're all still there and still work. there's just no link to them from the lptj archive page anymore.

[G.C.R]

I think I mentioned this once, but waaay before I started posting here, a friend made me a "John Darnielle Resource Reader" which was printed out and carefully filed in a clear file copies of old LPTJ articles (about 2001 or so this was?) Nice to have hard copies of all those old ones, aces high.

Bootleg 'zine what what!

[dieblucasdie]

I always get, like, 3 or 4 songs into In Rainbows, then get impatient and click over to Amnesiac.

same here actually

[alistarr*]

click over

problem with mp3 releases (and a flighty audience) writ large for all to see, there.

[Andrew_TSKS]

plus i'd like to counter that i prefer listening to "in rainbows" over "amnesiac".

that's just me, though.
