request for magazines (especially UK)

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I know that many of you buy a lot of music magazines, and I have a rather odd request... I'd basically like anything from the past 9 years with any significant Radiohead feature in it. I'd be willing to both pay for the magazines and the shipping and handling cost of sending them. I'm especially looking for anything from Q, Melody Maker, Mojo, The Face (especially the most recent article), and Uncut (the recent cover story in particular). Although anything with a Radiohead feature or large pictures in it will do.

Hey, why are you all giving me weird looks? :)

Blimey Melissa I thought my ship had come in!! I could have handed over a TON of UK mags of all kinds, all ages. Except sadly none of them – except The Wire obv – have any Radiohead in (including New Scientist).

― mark s, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have a slew of Melody Makers from the early nineties with a variety of early Radiohead articles, Mel, but I want to hold on to them, I'm afraid. I'm willing to go through and make good photocopies of the articles, though.

how 'bout the NME? It's likely I have everything from their first gig review to their last interview..

― electric sound of jim, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

NME too.

― Melissa W, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey Mel, I'm dumping all my recent mags when I move so if any of them have ver 'Head in I'll give them to you no problem. I'll have a look when I start my packing at the w/end.

― Tom, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i'll trade my coleco vision game system (WITH the atari 2600 adapter! ph34r!) for someone else's collection of cool NOT-radiohead UK magazines from the last 20-30-40 yrs.

also the high voltage power supply that i built in one of my circuits classes in college is up for grabs!! WHO IS PSYCHED??!

― geeta, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Will go through them for you on the weekend. Good timing, because I was planning to dump the lot in the recycling bin this weekend..

― electric sound of jim, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey Mel, let me check with my sister...she has an extensive library of Melody Makers, NMEs, Selects (which I gave to her), etc. going back to the earlier 90s. I can't see her being too bothered, as long as articles on her favorite bands aren't disturbed. However, I really wouldn't have a chance to cut these out for a week or so at least. Email me if you're interested, and I can find out.

I thought Radiohead broke up after their one hit song "Creep"...

nyuk nyuk nyuk

are you serious, mark?

― toby, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

a lot of them aren't uk, actually

and i have never weighed them (but scientific american = heavy)

― mark s, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think I have an issue of Indiecator with a radiohead feature...I could scan the pages and e-mail them.

― jel --, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes it's a one-page feature from Issue 5 February 1993...about the release of Pablo Honey.

― jel --, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Melissa: do you have the latest issue of The Wire? no Radiohead content, but does have interview with Alice Coltrane - the first she's given for 20 years or something

― michael, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Mel doesn't fancy Alice Coltrane though.

― Pete, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

true but she is a fan, and Alice Coltrane is super-reclusive and not often in music magazines.

and i only just noticed the 'anything with large [Radiohead] pictures in it will do' - now that *is* weird...

― michael, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

She is making big head Radiohead shrine for voodoo love purposes.

Johnny Greenwood, ph34r her.

MEL W OFFICIALLY BECOMES MORRISSEY
SOME CHICAGO SUBURB -- (AP)

Mel W's transformation into a 21st-century female Morrissey was made concrete and irrevocably yesterday with her request for old Radiohead clippings. Morrissey scholars point out that this development closely mirrors Morrissey's own teenage shut-in period, during which he assembled (and published) a collection of article and press clippings concerning the New York Dolls. Some have also suggested parallels revolving around obsessions with infirmity, leading to suspicions that Mel will soon begin using an unnecessary crutch -- much as Morrissey donned his legendary unnecessary hearing aid.

― Nitsuh, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ned, Jim, Tom, Nicole, Jel - Much appreciated

Michael - Yes, I got the issue of The Wire with the Alice Coltrane interview.

Nitsuh - pffffffft

Everyone - Does anyone have the recent Uncut with the Radiohead cover story?
Oh, and the articles that I'm really interested in are the interviews. But also definitely looking for rare high quality photos from any source.

― Melissa W, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Melissa - certainly I bought that Uncut. Do I still have it? Not sure. I'll look tonight. I remember reading it in the pub though which is never usually a good sign - pop mags that enter such places rarely leave, at least without cruel disfigurements (no not THAT sort) to the pics therein.

MEL W SAYS PFFFFFFFT
SOME CHICAGO SUBURB -- (AP)

Mel W has responded to Morrissey-parallel accusations by saying "pffffffft." Morrissey scholars have responded that that is like so exactly what Morrissey would have said, too.

As of press time Morrissey was unavailable for comment. Morrissey admirer and president of the International League of Brit-Indie Nostalgists Gavin Bayles has, however, noted other parallels -- including an odd obsession with a long-dead film icon -- and expressed hope that Mel W will soon team up with a rockabilly band and begin penning pop songs about celibacy and debilitating shyness. "Male Morrissey had a thing for rough boys and male homoeroticism," he said. "What's most intriguing here is that female Mel has a thing for fragile boys and male homoeroticism. The whole amputee thing just spices it up more."

"We at ILBIN are all really eager to hear the record," he added. "And of course we'll all scramble around digging through bins trying to find bad photocopies of her Radiohead collection. Right now we're looking into the possibility that she used to be in a bad punk band with Billy Duffy."

― Nitsuh, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ILBIN

A fine acronym, but surely there's a better one out there. MIMSY = Meta-International Morrissey Symposium of Youth.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't know why you're telling that to me and not Gavin, Ned.

― Nitsuh, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

stop it nitsuh, you're scaring the children.

― jess, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll take a look at the magazines I haven't got round to throwing out yet too, although I have had two big purges on old NMEs recently so I may very well not have anything you want. (I did rescue all the articles on Finnish IDM types though. Mmmm.)

― Rebecca, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Rebecca, do you have the recent NME that had Thom on the cover with some weird...ummmm...things? on his eyes?

― Melissa W, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't know why you're telling that to me and not Gavin, Ned.

Stop playing with that hand puppet and get to work.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I've got that NME. Aren't the weird things just holes burnt in the photo?

― electric sound of jim, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't think so... Well, whatever they are, I really want that issue.

― Melissa W, Thursday, 18 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Fairly sure I don't, Mel, as I don't think I bought it in the first place, so it's just as well the lovely Jim and his Electric Sound have got there first. Have not yet had a look for magazines but will do so over the weekend.

― Rebecca, Friday, 19 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

seven months pass...

I ddin't want to start my own thread for this, so, I need an MP3 of the first track (ie Where's your Head At) on the 2 many DJs CD, to use on a video project. I can't find my CD, my minidisc copy is unplayable and my PowerBook (which has a copy on the hard disk) is away being repaired.

Can anyone help?

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 16:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I've got an MP3 of the standard 'Where's your Head At' track (4.5 MB, 4:43), email me if you want it.

― Alfie (Alfie), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

No, I only want the 2manyDJs version, but thanks anyway.

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

i have that here with me, graham -- i can soon run it through iTunes to mp3 it. can i ftp it anywhere for you?

― Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 16:23 (twenty-two years ago)

check yr e-mail now graham

― Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks Alan, but WinZip here doesn't want anything to do with StuffIt files and I don't have much other choice.

Can you shove it on my iDisk? Instructions here, username dtcd, obv.

You could try emailing, but I think there are problems if the total message is larger than 5MB.

Thanks.

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

you have an iDisk? but not a mac?? um i think i need a password to access more than public. which i can't write to - though "me.jpg" is lovely! :-)

(Also stuffit expander is available on PCs -- it is dead good as it is more compact than SIT btw)

― Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

My PowerBook is broken, as I said. I don't have the option to install new software on the uni PCs.

Just email it then. Thanks.

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I've got an old Derek B 7" if anyone wants it.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 19:14 (twenty-two years ago)

ILE = Swap Shop.

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 21:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Melissa, I have following magazines with Radiohead on cover:

MOJO: June 2001
Q: October 2000
Select: November 1999 (plus Jan 1999 w. 2nd half of piece); December 2000

If any of these aren't included in other people's offers above, e-mail me.

If anyone knows the (rough) costs involved in posting UK -> USA, and if what documents you need (customs etc), could they post it to this thread.

― stephen. s (yaye), Wednesday, 27 November 2002 19:09 (twenty-two years ago)

A magazine should only cost you a couple of quid or so. The post office sometimes gives you a customs declaration sticker on which you write what's in it. Don't write 'narcotics' as they will not see the joke.
