Tracks Subscriber Acquisition by Paste

ATTENTION TRACKS SUBSCRIBERS: You should receive the August/September issue of Paste by August 10.

I’ve never heard of Paste. What is it? Paste is a three-year-old bi-monthly music & film magazine for thinking adults. We began publication about a year before Tracks emerged on the scene. While it was still active, Tracks shared similar tastes with Paste, and covered many of the same musicians found on our pages. When Tracks chose to cease production, it was a natural fit to offer Paste to Tracks subscribers, whereas most magazines that cease production give nothing back to their subscribers.
What’s the difference between Paste & Tracks? Good question. In addition to quality music, Paste covers film – with a focus on great filmmaker/auteurs like Wes Anderson, David O. Russell, Paul Thomas Anderson, Jim Jarmusch & Cameron Crowe. Paste also covers a bit more “indie” music than found in the pages of Tracks. We are eclectic and focus on great songcraft in whatever genre it inhabits – whether that’s rock, indie rock, hip-hop, singer-songwriter, alt.country, alt.americana, world, etc. The biggest difference between Paste & Tracks is the inclusion of The Paste Sampler CD in every issue, full of new and recommended music. But the biggest difference just got bigger – Paste now distributes a “Signs of Life” DVD Sampler, full of music videos, short films, movie, TV & game trailers and more. Every issue has either the CD or the DVD and sometimes BOTH!
I’m not sure I want Paste – can I get my money back for my Tracks subscription? In our commitment to providing quality content to Track subscribers, Paste signed on to service missing issues. You’ll automatically be receiving at least one copy of Paste and we hope you like it so much you choose to renew your subscription. However neither Tracks nor Paste is able to refund monies for Tracks subscriptions. If you don’t wish to receive these complimentary issues of Paste – click HERE to send us a message to that effect.
Do I have an account set up on PasteMagazine.com now to check my subscription status? Yes. If you gave your email address to Tracks, then head to www.pastemagazine.com and put in your email address as your username and request a password to be sent to you. When you receive the password in your inbox, then come back to our site and log in to check your subscription status. However, if you never offered your email address to Tracks, you can’t log in yet.

to send us an email to set up your online account. We’ll get back to you as quickly as we can!
Can I renew my subscription online? Yes! Once you’ve successfully logged into your account, you can renew (keep in mind that when renewing your subscription, you are requesting PASTE, not Tracks).
Do Paste subscribers get anything free for subscribing? Yes! Not only do our subscribers get our CD & DVD Samplers – we also provide access to our new exclusive Download Vault, full of free MP3s of artists we dig and think you’ll enjoy. You’ll hear more about this soon!
I heard Tracks was hoping to relaunch – is there any chance of that taking place? It is possible that a relaunch could happen at some future point, but at this time, there is no relaunch planned. Tracks would be starting from scratch as all Tracks subscribers are now Paste subscribers!
During the transition, is my personal information being protected? Absolutely! Only Tracks, Palm Coast Data (who has managed the Tracks subscriber database all along) and Paste will see your data and it will not be rented, shared or sold to any other organizations.
When will I receive my first issue of Paste? The last Tracks issue published was April/May issue with Lucinda Williams on the cover, but Paste did not receive the Tracks subscriber mailing list in time to send you June/July copies of Paste. Don't worry, you're in our system now and will not be docked an issue for June/July. You should receive your first issue by August 10, 2005. If you don’t receive it by then, click HERE .
