Next time you’re 30,000 feet in the air on an American Airlines flight to Party City, USA (anywhere you want it to be, baby), savor the snack option of your choice (Mega Bite® Cookie? Lay's Stax® Potato Crisps?) and save the power in your song-pod by tuning into “The Paste Beat,” a new channel on the carrier’s in-flight radio.
Not only is the program 100 percent peanut-free, it features two hours of audio selected by Paste and our partner Beat Marketing. Expect tracks from 4-to-Watch acts, exclusive live recordings and artist interviews culled from Paste Presents' private parties. This month’s inaugural broadcast includes a bit of Paul McCartney, Norah Jones, Nick Drake, Feist, Johnny Cash, Patty Griffin and nine exclusive cuts from artists like Cold War Kids and Brandie Carlile.
If you fancy yourself a man or woman of the road (or sea), you can still access this type of content by downloading our free Paste Culture Club podcasts. This week’s showcases tracks from Paste 4-to-Watch artist Ferraby Lionheart, Figurines, Standfast, Deertick and a previous Paste magazine Band of the Week, Tiny Vipers.
As for those private parties, you can still win tickets to all three nights of Paste’s Austin City Limits After Hours Festival at Maggie Mae’s. Then, the next time you’re on an American Airlines flight, you may hear an excerpt from the show -- which would be a great way to initiate a chat with the attractive stranger next to you, if only such inoffensive seat-mates existed.
