Paste Magazine is one of the fastest growing, independently published entertainment magazines in the industry, named "Magazine of the Year" at the 2006, 2007, and 2008 PLUG Independent Music Awards.
Here at Paste, we pride ourselves 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, etc. We're happy to bring you thoughtful analysis on the best in film, books and other aspects of popular (and alternative) culture.
As if that's not enough, every issue of Paste comes with a FREE sampler CD. We treat our Sampler CD as a glorified office mix-tape, not something to listen to once and rip the two or three good songs. What more could you want? (OK, maybe a free subscription. We'll try to get it bundled in with national health care, how's that?)
Now in our fifth year, we've grown quickly with international distribution in over 12 countries. Paste is available on newsstands all over the U.S. and Canada - including: Borders, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Tower, Hastings, Joe Muggs, B. Dalton, and independent newsstands and music stores everywhere with more being added all the time. If you don't find us at your favorite store, ask. They are probably sold-out.
