Last week, Paste launched a new option for subscribers, one to separate the page-flippers from the trend-hunters. Paste Digital VIP takes the waiting out of the distribution process. With features like early access to the newly-digitized CD sampler and exclusive, weekly MP3s of tracks recorded right here in our studio, VIP takes the reader to the editor's desk.
Each month, members will be able to download a full album of DRM-free MP3s from an up-and-coming artist. Early access includes not only the CD sampler, but also the digital version of the magazine (complete with exclusive extras). VIP is bringing back the DVD sampler, available quarterly and equipped with hours of music videos and short films.
Subscribers will also have access to digital back issues of the magazine, a special deal for gifting magazine subscriptions, and, as if all these digital goodies weren't incentive enough (at $3.95/month), Paste is throwing in a T-shirt designed just for annual VIPers.
The offerings of this new subscriber program were lovingly handpicked by our staff in an effort to create the most current, multi-media-immersed web experience for Paste enthusiasts. And here's yet another extra, something VIP hasn't disclosed, until now: Subscribers will get at least one full, downloadable album per month, but we anticipate the delivery of more. In the words of one of the VIP creators, in fact, "as many as we can."
You can explore the program on PasteMagazine.com/VIP.

I enjoy the content and applaud the effort, however, the font size on the site and newsletter leads me to believe that only those capable of shooting the eye out of a needle from 100 yards can read it without squinting . . . has anyone else noticed this - or am I just blind?
Also - I wanted to log in to comment, but can't remember my password. I can't get my password because your site asks me for the answer to my password question, without giving me the question.
Ok - maybe I'm just old & senile . . .
Oh, and I'm not anonymous - even though I clicked "Comment Anonymously." Now everyone knows I'm old & senile. . . . it will come as quite a shock.
I feel for the exposed anonymous above (I am endeavoring not to know your name) ... I was an original subscriber and over the years have had three separate sign-ins for this website ... not going for digital paste ... it's all too much. Readers, try popmatters.com for change. Paste, get over yourselves!
