The Pop Manifesto is another case of cool magazine deciding not to go in for the great expense and heartache of making a print book and instead just publishing online. They have two issues up on their site with promise of an upcoming print annual. Their format is similar to most music/art/fashion/lifestyle magazines out there: interviews, photo stories, and a few reviews. But, thankfully, it's lacking in a lot of pointless product coverage, tips, and advertising. They write about stuff they like and don't worry about bad spelling or grammar. Lucky for me plenty of the stuff they like is also the stuff I like: throbbing gristle, the slits, favorite t-shirts, and the rapture, for example. Anyway, it's cute and fun to read. Go look!

UPDATE! their new issue goes up on MONDAY January, 15th!
