So a bunch of us got together and made a fanzine. It's called ALL THESE WEIRD CREATURES
Hello reddit. I've been a little nervous about putting this out on here, but I think some of you will genuinely like this thing we made.
A group of us from the mod team here and over at etceteraforum.com got together earlier this year to create a 48-page physical Radiohead fanzine. It's packed with articles, essays, reviews, tour coverage, artwork, fan stories, and community contributions. The first issue is focused on the 2025 tour and everything in it was made by fans, for fans.
An enormous amount of work went into this. The idea was to document the Radiohead fandom in real time, not just the band itself, but the weird orbit around it: the art, discussions, live experiences, side projects, rumours, discoveries, and creativity that still exists in this community after all these years. This is for everyone that loves this band.
We were lucky enough to speak to Dave May, director of the recent Thom Yorke film, for an exclusive interview. Jonathan Zawada also contributed a quote about the Tall Tales artwork, and later sent back an incredibly lovely message after receiving his copy.
100 copies were professionally printed and sold basically at cost, mostly through the forum community, and there are about 20 left from the run. I've shared little bits and pieces online, but most of it is staying physical. It just feels better as an object you can hold in your hands and look through.
Issue 02 is already underway (it's centred around Ed), and we'd also love contributions from anyone here who's interested in writing, photography, artwork, reviews, strange archive finds, or anything else that fits the spirit of it. Please comment here or DM if you'd like to get involved!
I've been part of this community for over 20 years now, and making this has been enormous fun. Huge thank you to the people that supported this mad thing on the forum, your photos of it arriving in the mail made my day!
