Paste In the News

Paste has benefitted from a nice spate of good publicity with stories and reviews in several newspapers and magazines, including ...

Chicago Tribune

"The editors of Paste think they are cooler than we are. And they're probably right. Hip without sacrificing credibility on the altar of corporately deemed 'cool,' Paste anchors its music, film and pop cultural coverage to the esoteric, even geeky, with cover stories on movie director wunderkind Wes Anderson and piano rock star Ben Folds."

The New York Daily News

"Paste resembles the top British music magazines like Q, Uncut and Mojo, publications that leave most American counterparts looking tone deaf."

Grady College News

"Paste is distributed at all Borders, Barnes & Noble and Tower stores, as well as at major newsstands. It will soon be available at airport newsstands as well. Jackson and Paste publisher Purdy also have a regular slot every Tuesday morning on CNN's "Headline News," where they plug notable new music releases in a segment called 'Paste Picks.'"

"Paste resembles the top British music magazines like Q, Uncut and Mojo, publications that leave most American counterparts looking tone deaf."

The Daily Nebraskan

"Paste has a mixed staff of top-notch, younger writers and established veterans, such as former Rolling Stone editors Ben Fong-Torres and Mark Kemp."

The Emory Wheel

"Printed every other month, Paste delivers around 150 glistening pages of music- and film-feature heaven. The magazine also reviews more than 100 new releases per issue. And if this isn’t enough to quell your thirst for music media, each copy of Paste comes with a music CD containing 21 or more tracks of the music covered in that edition. If there’s a feature on a talented up-and-coming group without a marketed name or label, chances are they will appear on the CD."

The Charlotte Observer

"This music magazine has operated for a couple of years under the mainstream radar, but I can't ignore it any longer: It's now a music and movie magazine, the first anywhere to offer a CD sampler and a DVD sampler with every bimonthly issue."

The Athens Banner-Herald

"Raising the journalistic bar as a relatively new music and film magazine, Paste is everything that an industry giant like Rolling Stone should be. Insightful, creatively written articles, gobs of helpful reviews and excellent photography are the magazine's hallmark and always make it a rewarding read."

The New York Sun

"Another relatively new magazine, Paste, has made the unusual determination to include a DVD with every issue of its publication. Paste, one of the fastest growing independently published music magazines in the country, included in its special film issue a DVD sampler containing nearly four hours of music videos (Norah Jones, Elvis Costello, R.E.M.), film clips, film trailers, and short films."

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"The special film issue of Paste (December/January), a Decatur-based music and culture magazine, has a free DVD with music videos and DVD trailers."

Georgia Magazine

""With the Southern California sun beating down overhead, Paste editor Josh Jackson barrels down a desert highway in a non-descript rented sedan he picked up at the Los Angeles airport. In what must be considered a coup for a new music magazine based not in New York or L.A. but in Atlanta, Jackson is on his way to interview the reclusive Mark Olson of Jayhawks fame and his wife, singer-songwriter Victoria Williams."

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

"Remember paste—the thick, goopy, white substance that was used to hold grammar school art projects together? And remember how there was always a kid or two, usually the adventurous, nonconformist types, who just couldn't resist tasting it? Now, a new magazine is counting on drawing those same types of kids, all grown up, who prefer their music with a twist."

The State (S.C.)

"In just seven years, Paste has gone from an online music distributor to one of the best independent magazines."

Minnesota Daily

"Paste - A popular alternative rock ‘n’ roll music mag, with an emphasis on indie-rock, Paste wanders into the worlds of other media too. Appropriately, this magazine is independently published and features great layouts and design."

The State (S.C.)

"One of the music industry’s hottest magazines is Atlanta’s Paste. With its acquisition of the now-defunct Tracks magazine’s subscriber list in June, Paste has tripled its distribution, to 250,000 copies per issue."
