"Tabloid Magazine" was the second single off Modern ARTillery, the third album from Australian punk rockers the Living End, and it hit the shops in February 2004. Frontman Chris Cheney wrote words and music, and he was cheerfully upfront about the subject: he owned up to a soft spot for gossip mags and a fascination with how hooked people get on reading about other people's lives, and he reckoned the tune had a new wave edge. Mark Trombino produced, recorded and mixed it.
It spent 4 weeks on the ARIA singles chart, peaking at 57, and the single came loaded with extras: a live "All Torn Down", acoustic takes on "Who's Gonna Save Us?" and "What Would You Do?", and the previously unreleased "No Reaction". Todd Sheldrick shot the video in Sydney during the band's 2003 national tour behind the album.
