Hey there, I'm James Greene, Jr., the author of those two articles (and longtime lurker here at OT.com). Thanks for drudging them up, AntcuFaalb! I worked pretty hard on the "Lapti Nek" saga as presented. Glad someone feels like preserving it all. As for the whole fair use/copyright issue, I hereby use my power as the author to say go ahead and post 'em where ever---just don't profit off 'em. The powers that be like to pretend Crawdaddy never even existed anyway. The site's owner really mistreated it, eventually folding us into Paste Magazine, after which we (Crawdaddy writers, editors) all basically lost our jobs and the website itself was transferred to that awkward CrawdaddyArchive.com web address to collect dust. It's sad. Red-headed stepchild stuff.
At least I have all those versions of "Lapti Nek" to comfort me!
Thanks, James! It's awesome that you're a member here.
I appreciate you letting me preserve your articles. They're excellent!
Aw shucks, thanks. I wrote at least one other "Star Wars"-related feature for Crawdaddy about my quest to find an album that synchs up with the original film a la "Dark Side of the Moon"/"Wizard of Oz":

It also goes without saying that I'd love to hear Annie Arbogast's side of the "Lapti Nek" saga (especially how she felt being wiped out in favor of "Jedi Rocks").
Cool article!
Do we actually know anything about Annie Arbogast besides the facts that (1) she was a Sound Engineer at LFL, (2) wrote and recorded Lapti Nek, and (3) later worked at Pixar?
I'd love to track her down. Would you be willing to work with me to do so?
