Decent magazine for the money. I was a charter subscriber, and still enjoy the content. RIP Paste.

Paste eats it? Seems like an ironic tag might have worked.

Far as I know, Pitchfork Media is still around and quite strong.

I think hipsters are going to make it through this difficult and trying time.

their site wasn't particularly good and their "news" were usually old news... but man, as a guy who likes to submit to the music tab, its almost scary how so very few music sites there is left...

Their obituary should be like their record reviews...three sentences long and useless.

With shows like American Idol and America's Got Talent, who needs Paste?


/can't stand either show!

This is only their print edition (like so many other magazines and newspapers). Their online edition will still be "active," if you can call three people that.

I used to think it was so cool that they came out with a music sampler CD in each issue. Until I "sampled" them, and they were all the same bland, acoustic, "don't know when to end a song" mediocrity from month to month.

Not to say there weren't perhaps 1-2 listenable tracks, but it was disappointing, nonetheless.

Who??????
 
2010-09-01 08:27:43 PM
And with a name like that, it'll probably stay folded.

Print is dead.

But Highlights is ok, right? RIGHT?!!

Never liked their Google ripoff logo anyway. See you in hell, Paste.

Try the Insound music sampler. It comes out every month (first week only).

For the curious but timid, that bit.ly link in the first tweet goes to the Wikipedia page for Captive Bolt Pistol.

Looks like Justin Bieber and reality TV are winning the culture wars.

While serious music magazines die off one by one, the teeny and gossip magazines are multiplying like neon pink bunnies.

Guess you can blame it on the mean ol' libs not having enough babies in the last few decades, or something like that.

Paste
always sucked. Everything about it, from its feature articles to its record reviews, seemed to be written for people who are very easily distracted. I'd see a cover story about someone I liked, and when I'd read it, I'd always end up asking, "That's it? Seriously?"

/The Big Takeover still lives and still rocks.

FTFA: Update: The AP says Paste "will keep its popular website going but will stop sending print editions to its more than 200,000 subscribers."

Dang, a subscriber base of 200,000 and you can't keep the doors open? Something's wrong there.
