 Paste summed up! January 30, 2007

Paste Magazine is one of the fastest growing independently published music magazines in the country, now in a new monthly format. Paste prides itself in being the premier magazine for people who still enjoy discovering new music, prize substance and songcraft over fads and manufactured attitude, and appreciate quality music in whatever genre it might inhabit -- indie rock, Triple-A, Americana, folk, blues, jazz...
Paste brings you thoughtful analysis on the best in music, film, books and other aspects of popular (and alternative) culture. PLUS, you get a FREE sampler CD, packed with 21+ songs, in EVERY issue. There is life out there among the radio wasteland, and finally there's Paste to help you find it. What more could you want?
 Bait... and switch January 31, 2006

First off, I really enjoy the magazine and the cd + dvd, so I subscribed to get both. They said that was the only way to get both (when I was buying newstand copies).
Now, I get my second issue on the subscription, and they have made it CD **or** DVD in each issue, editor's choice! Swell... I think that's called bait and switch, isn't it?

I've forgotten how I got turned onto Paste; I think it might have been through an ad in Oxford American. Anyway, I'm a sucker for music magazines, so I gave it a chance. I was so surprised to discover that Paste was addressing the very artists and types of music in which my interest had evolved. And what's more, the CD that accompanied it was loaded with good music.I might as well tell you. I'm 59 years old but still into music and still turned on by the new and the old. To make a point about Paste, it also appeals to my 24-year-old daughter and 37 year-old son-in-law. Why? Each issue is packed with information and features on the knowns and unknowns, written in a literate voice and in complete yet concise manner. It also is colorful and well-designed. The sampler CDs are not those throw-away kind either. Somebody spends a heck of a lot of time selecting the right artists and the right tunes. If you like mixed CDs, you'll enjoy these.
Through the articles and through the sampler CDs,Paste has turned me on to some wonderful music that the members of my family enjoy sharing.I hope others will give it a spin - no pun intended. If it is not what is happening, it is what should be happening. To use an expression from my generation and yours. It's what's cool.

If you want a music-related magazine, would you prefer a focus on new and established artists that produce quality music instead of the latest pop-tarts? Would you like well-written reviews and articles from the likes of Ben Fong-Torres (the former Rolling Stone editor- think "Almost Famous") and Bud Scoppa? Tired of reading reviews of artists that sound interesting but you're afraid to plunk down $ for their cd without being able to hear them? Then get Paste! I would gladly pay the subscription price for either the magazine OR the included cd samplers. If what you hear on the radio makes you want to give up on new music- don't! Get Paste and renew your faith in music.

This is music for old farts who think they are to cool to listen to crap like josh gorban. Some of the review they did like giving a good movie like mystic river a bad review are so off base. Would it kill this magazine to put a little louder stuff on this it is pretty lame when the loudest cd they review is wezzer. Also the sample cds that come with this magazine are so boring they sound like bad nockoffs of joni mitchel and bob dlyan and everything on those sample cds is too dam mellow. This magazine thinks just because something is not mainstream or heard off that it is great which is not true.
