Music Magazine "Paste" Struggles to Stay Afloat

We wanted to make our patrons aware that many of the magazines we carry in our collection are struggling in the recession. One in particular, "Paste," is expecially struggling and is asking its readers who are so moved to make a donation. Musicians have donated over 100 songs to give to donors in return. For those who don't know, "Paste" is described as "a magazine for people who still enjoy discovering new music, prize substance and songcraft over fads and manufactured attitude, and appreciate quality music across a broad stylistic spectrum--indie rock, Triple-A, Americana, folk, blues, jazz, and more."
