Author seeks London venue for Neutral Milk Hotel reading in November. Can you help? I wrote a book for Continuum's 33 1/3 series of little books about great albums, on Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over The Sea" and the Elephant 6 collaborative community that helped birth it.

I'll be in London on November 7, and hope to find a venue where I could read from and sign the book. And schedule permitting, John Perry will join me and read from his 33 1/3 on Jimi Hendrix.

Unfortunately, Continuum's UK publicist has just left her post, so I'm left with very little time to find a venue, and via email at that. I'm open to any sort of space, gallery, book or record shop, cafe, church, pub, etc. Any suggestions much appreciated... and if you manage to book a reading, I'll send you a bunch of copies of my zine, Scram, and stand you a pint if you attend. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

"Missing" Pitchfork review

Where can I get a copy of Pitchfork Media's original review of "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel? When the album was reissued in the UK, Pitchfork took the opportunity to rewrite their review, giving it their top score of 10.0. The original review was somewhere in the 7-9 range, I believe. This original page is also newly missing from the Wayback Machine (see here where there is now a broken Wayback link, although many other of their pages remain in the archive).

Did anyone print it out? Did anyone copy and paste it into their blog? Does anyone have any ideas for finding it? Is this just one of the interesting/sad effects of digital media?
