Former editor of the now defunct POP Magazine, Tisha “Misty” Chaiworasilp, tells us about the magazine’s online reincarnation and its spin-off club night, One Hit Wonderful Party.

Can you tell us about the rebirth of your magazine?
POPpaganda.net is basically an online version of Pop Magazine, which, as it turns out, works out a lot better than the real magazine did. It’s more accessible and the content is constantly updated. We focus on today’s pop culture, from music and fashion to art and technology. It’s a place where you can read about what’s hot both locally and internationally.

How did the party come about?
Paris, one of the website’s writers, and I decided to throw a fun party once every one or two months. The first party we organized was in August when we celebrated Madonna’s 50th birthday. The turnout was fantastic and it was very successful. It was great to get to share the fun with people who are into the same kind of music. That’s why we decided to do another this month.

Why one-hit wonders?
Actually it’s a spin-off of this column on the website called One Hit Wonderful. I personally love to listen to one-hit wonders—there’s some really decent stuff. If I was an artist, I’d definitely choose to have a one-hit wonder rather than a whole album of non-hits.

Are you planning to go monthly like Club Soma or Trasher?
Unlikely. The thing is, I don’t want it to become fixed and routine. I’ll only throw a party when I have a great, fun theme for it. I try to avoid doing the same things as everybody else. It’s our goal to be different and most importantly of all, fun!

Head down to One Hit Wonderful Party for a serving of one-hit wonders.
