Your New Favourite Magazine

Over On the Radar there's been a link over to Chunklet Magazine's website. Well, the new issue is finaly out there (check here for a store near you). I'm never too sure if they only come out with two issues or three issues a year. Whatever it is it's certainly too few. This is a great and hilarious magazine. Possibly a bit elitist in it's views but that's part of it's charm to me--it can get to be a bit outlandish, but this especially suits they're ongoing The Most Overrated theme. Last issue's centerpiece dealt with the Most Overrated Bands with many laughs resulting. The new issue, Part 2, deals with the the most overated films/artists/etc--as well as interviews with most of the people I've written about on here for the past 3 months. Go figure...



You might also want to check out some clips from this movie Chunklet's some out with recently...



Click the pic -- there's a ton of clips there. It seems like it could be pretty funny--but part of me just can't get over how similar it is to Fred Armisan's 1998 SXSW video. Watch both of them! Compare and contrast the fun pranking of your favorite indie icons!

And to wrap this up I'll pick some of my favorite "1,000 Unrelated Overrated Things":
Character on Kids in the Hall: The “I’m Crushing Your Head” guy
Sonic Youth associate: Lydia Lunch
Thing for a parent to be proud of: Honor student
Late-night drinking activity: Vomiting in a friend’s car
Frozen Mexican treat: Choco Taco
Source of band names: Any movie reference
Season of Buffy: Second
Cleaning tool: The Swiffer
Cereal: Frosted Mini Wheats
Dead black man: Tupac Shakur
Cell phone service: Virgin mobile
Contemporary slang word: Blog

I think I've tried about ever Swiffer product out there by now. The gloves are the biggest scam, but the wet one's aren't too bad. It's kind of like giving your floor a spit shine. You wonder how sanitary it really is but hey, it got that old juice stain off and it isn't as sticky, so plus!
