| Well, that brings us to “Knives Out,” a song most Radiohead
fans knew from bootlegs and finding live songs on Napster
long before Amnesiac came out. “Knives Out” is a
hard song to talk about. It’s hard to talk about “Knives
Out” not because it’s complex -- it isn’t -- or because
it’s slippery and elusive. It is neither. Truth told, you’d
be hard put to get out of the way once “Knives Out” decided
it was coming for you. It’s like those mythical enemy-finding
missiles that our government keeps crowing about
during these last couple of wars: supposedly accurate to within one-thousandth
of a millimeter, they’re like something out of an old Warner
Brothers’ cartoon, homing in not just on particular coordinates
but on living, breathing, moving targets. |
